Re: Windshield Wiper Mounts

R Howe
Hello, again. In my parts book, part number 30.762 does not fit my '37, model 1092, only later models. Could the parts book be mistaken?
Thanks.

Thanks. I did see those in my parts book, but they didn't appear to be what would fit properly. I'll go back and see about getting those.
Thanks, again.

'37 120 Clock installation
Home away from home

R Howe
Does anyone have information on how the clock mechanism is fastened to the case which is then attached to the glove box front. I have that last part, but cannot seem to locate any means to attach the mechanism to the case. The shafts appear to be threaded, but I have tried machine screws from #2 to #4 and none seem to fit. I've tried to order #0 and #1 screws online, but cannot obtain them.
Thanks for any information you might be able to provide.

Windshield Wiper Mounts

On my '37 120, how are the windshield wiper mounts installed onto the cowl? I see in my parts book where they might call for a #6-32 x 3/4" oval head screw, but that 3/4" length appears to just go into the bracket and no more. I do not see where the screw actually attaches to anything to hold the mount in place.
Does anyone have any additional information concerning how these are installed? And, also, my pictures are not clear enough to tell me which one goes on which side.
As usual, I do appreciate your help.

Re: Oil bath air cleaner

Hello, again. Thanks for the SC pages. It took me a little bit to get them to come up, but come up they did and now I have them safely tucked away for future reference. That helps tremendously in my getting the bypass oil filter installed. I guess I can get with the part houses for the lines that go with it for it did not come with connecting lines. Where do you find this stuff?? In my searches I have not been able to locate anything like this. Fortunately, I have those such as yourself who are willing to forward this information to me.
Again, my great thanks for your help.

Thanks, Wes. Yes, that helps tremendously. I see where that article came out of a 1951 Popular Science. Where do you find these things, for in my research, nothing came up on that. Also, I do have a bypass oil filter as mentioned in the article that a friend of mine gave me. I do not have the piping yet nor the instructions to install it. Might that also come from an old Popular Science or is there some type of other document out there that might give me that information. I'm close to getting my car so it can be driven, but for now, very short distances. I need to finish the interior and get the roof opening done.
Again, I do thank you for all of the help you and others have given me.

Thanks. There is an O'Reilly's here in town who should also have it. Otherwise, NAPA it is. From what I've read, I fill the reservoir just up to the bottom of the filtration unit. Is that what you understand, also?

R Howe
Thank. I'll keep my original air cleaner, then. That was one of my options. My research shows to use just about any type of engine oil, i.e. 30W or 10W-50, etc. Do you have any other recommendations?
Thanks, again.

As you know, my '37 120 originally had an oil bath air cleaner, but since we don't drive that often on dirt roads any more, what would be your recommendation on using a non-oil air cleaner? I have a couple of options, but would like to get further input from those who know.
Thanks.

Re: '37 120C Touring Sedan Headlights
Home away from home
Home away from home

R Howe
Hello. Here is what I did for most of the day today on my headlight issue and it did not solve the problem. Since I am a novice at this I would like for those of you who are to kindly inform me of what I could have done in addition. I would greatly appreciate it.
First, I took my ohmmeter and checked the resistance from the headlight reflectors to a head bolt and received 1.3 to 1.5 ohms. The headlight reflectors actually go to ground. I then dismantled the entire assembly on both sides. I then removed the paint on the underneath of the headlight casings where they meet the pedestals. I also removed the paint on the top of the pedestal where the casings rest. I then checked the resistance in the wiring within the headlight sockets to the ends of those wires and received 0.5 ohms for all three lines. That was for both headlight assemblies. I then checked the resistance from the light switch to the end of those wires where the headlight wires plug in and received 0.5 ohms on each and every one. I then reassembled the headlight casings and attached them back onto the pedestals. I checked the resistance again from the headlight reflectors to the engine head bolts and received 0.5 ohms on both sides. After plugging in the light wiring to the switch lines, I turned the lights on and started timing. The lights dimmed after 5.5 minutes. I truly do not know what else to do except suspect that my Optima battery has been sitting for so long it cannot hold a charge under that type of load condition for too long. However, I do tend to doubt that theory. But, as I said earlier, I am a novice and I probably missed something. If anyone has any additional information on procedures that I might try, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
