Wiper vacuum lines hook-up
#41
Home away from home
Home away from home

Mike T
Does anyone know, or have an picture of how the vacuum lines for the wiper motor should be hooked up?

My '51 has a line that connects to the intake manifold, runs near the dual action fuel pump, but is not attached. I is jury-rigged with a couple pieces of hose to just loop back around and go straight to the wiper motor.

Looks like the whole thing was cobbled together when a replacement fuel pump was installed some years ago.

Cleaning out my fuel system after dealing with rust in the tank (tank is getting relined, fuel pump rebuilt).

Is there a good way/technique to flush out fuel lines?

Re: Has anyone used Sentra board to remake door panels in place of masonite?

There are some guys on the HAMB who say they they have used it.

Sintra board is very stable at room temperature, but if it gets really hot it can warp. The manufacturer says it will melt at 150 degrees. But I'm thinking on a hot day, with the car windows rolled up, it can get 100 degrees pretty quick. I don't know if the board will start to soften and sag/warp at those temperatures.

I know when Sintra is used for exterior signage they usually use 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick materials to help prevent warping.

Thanks again for all the input. I've already made arrangements to send it off to Gould.

Identify my fuel pump

This is the fuel pump I just took out of my '51 200 coupe (288 cid). I cannot find any markings that identify it. I'm thinking it may be an aftermarket replacement. I'd like to get it refurbished, but don't know what kind it is.

Anyone know who made it?

I believe this is the same car owned by someone at Tanners sports bar in Kimberly, WI. I saw it there about ten years ago, and the bartender said that they used it to tailgate at Lambeau feild. If I remember correctly,it use to have a working beer tap coming out of the Packard emblem in the trunk.

Maybe someone there could give you a little history on the car or maybe some fun pictures.

(But let us know if you plan on selling some parts)

I'd like to hear your overall impressions. But I am curious about the size of the plenum and how that would affect performance, and if the two plenums are somehow connected/ballanced.

Thanks for working on this.
