where do you find contact cleaner

Are you removing the radio to get it fixed? Curious where you are going to get that done.

The instrument panel in the pdf attachment is a 46 Clipper, sorry about that.

I still think the ignition button is factory. The unknown button seems logical to be the windsheild washer fluid. The condensor type thing that is not hooked up, may be noise reduction for the radio as someone suggested.

Very good call on the windsheild washer. I think you are right. The car has the tubes for the window washer, but no reservoir or pump. I don't know if it was an add on, or if it was removed. But that seems like a likely use for that particular button.

I think the push button starter is original. It has always been that way.

I have some items on my instrument panel, that I am trying to figure out what they are for. Any help is appreciated. See picture below.

HH56 asked how the my bypass oil filter was mounted above the intake manifold. I had a bit of a delay in getting back on that, here are pictures.

Thanks. I went back to NAPA to get a 1080 filter and then when I looked it I realied it was very close the 1010 they gave me on my previous trip. The guy was very helpful going through all the filters until we found one with the right dimenions. Turns out to be a 1100. I assume that the bypass filter was changed from what was their originally, all pictures of 46 engines I have seen have the bypass filter on the driver side of the engine and mine is on the passenger side by the carburater.

I think I am set now. Thanks for everyone's help.

My mistake. I went out and double checked the filter and the one I purchased was a NAPA 1010 vs. 1080. I'll go purchase a 1080, sounds like that is the ticket.

Based on the posts above, I think I'll continue to let the bypass system do it's job.

Wow, this is awesome information. Thanks. I think I have everything I need.

I'm sorry. I have more questions than answers. I have a few interior lights out. I know they are 6V Bayonet style lights, most have two conductors at the bottom.

I have two questions.

Is there a reference for all the bulbs used in my 1946 clipper deluxe.

Has anyone found a good source for these bulbs and are there replacment LED versions vs. incandescent?
