Thanks. I figured as long as it was on a "good" portion of the crank it would be okay.

When replacing the front crankshaft rope seal in the timing cover with the new "perfect circle" seal, do I fully seat the seal in the retainer or leave it flush with the retainer face?
TIA,
John

That is always something to consider. I was even thinking of trying to get a Corvette assembly from a junk yard to try for fitment. Unfortunately, the dashboard is out of my car so I can't take any measurements to see if the specs match up, so I was hoping one, or more, members might have considered this solution already. I'm also concerned that the MC size might not be enough for the 4 wheel drum brakes on a vehicle as heavy as a 55 Constellation.

I have been perusing the Project Blogs and Forums, and couldn't find an answer or opinion on this.
Has anyone considered, or tried, using a Power Brake upgrade using the MC/Booster Combo with Swing Pedal? AS an example, something dexigned like this:

or

If this would work, I understand having to lose the fresh air duct on the drivers side, and the need to reinforce the firewall in that area, but it seems like this would be a feasible way to upgrade to a dual MC without having to build or modify the brake pedal.

John

Thanks. I'll be waiting to hear from you!

Might be interested in the oil pump, Can you contact me via email with particulars. jselph at cox dot net

Need 2 +30 pistons for 55 Constellation, 352 ci engine. Hopefully someone has a couple of good, used, 30 over, pistons for a reasonable price.
Thanks,

Try putting the old rotor back in, and check to make sure that the points are properly adjusted and the condenser is not grounded out.

I still have one. Bought it when I had an old MG-A and had to sync the carbs. A bit tricky but once you get the hang of it, they work pretty good. It is nothing but a basic device to make sure you have equal air flow through the carbs.

Oh well, a bit too much of a drive from New Orleans!
