Quite alright, mate!

By the way, I’m not in Spokane, I’m in Lafayette Indiana.

Yes, I have tried adjusting it and besides being worn out, it leaks!

Thank you everyone who helped pointing me in the direction for getting my steering box rebuilt. Now I wonder if anyone has a 1939 Super Eight steering box the I could get to rebuild because my mechanic has no room to store my car except outside and since it’s a convertible I can’t do that. Anyone have or know of a spare steering box? I can get that rebuilt and my mechanic can switch it in a day so no keeping the car outside for 2 to 4 months waiting for the rebuilt box.

Hi, I have a 1939 Super Eight with a worn steering box. (suspension is fine) , anyone have any recommendations for a good rebuilder of steering boxes? I used Lares 15 years ago for a Stude Avanti and after 5 weeks I had the new one installed and it was worse than before. Had it shipped back and 8 weeks later got it back, and it was fine. If no one has any better recommendations I will use Lares again. (Making the sign of the cross).
Thanks,

I had a 1954 Pacific and Caribbean with the 700R4 transmissions installed and went from 13-14 mpg to 21-22 mpg. Acceleration was improved also.

Thank you all for the information.

Update your cables and stick with 6 volts, it’s best for the long run.

Hi, just wondered is it a straightforward job to put a new oil seal on a 1939 Super Eight differential where the driveshaft connects or is there a trick to changing it. It’s a fairly bad leak but the bearing behind it and seal was changed only 5,000 miles ago.

Thanks,
Steve

It's not the Chroming itself that's expensive, it's the work involved to get it ready for rechroming.
