Hey guys, glad my other blog is helping people! Winter means no work on the '52 as it is parked outside. I have been starting it regularly until about a week ago when it wouldn't start. Thought it was out of gas so I put more in the tank only to overfill it! That mistake made me notice there is a fuel leak when it is really full! Popped the hood and I saw the fuel filter was empty. When checking out the fuel pump, it appears the pin for the fuel pump arm is coming out! Guess the pump has to come off. That is the pump I had rebuilt for the '51. I pondered rebuilding the pump from the '52 but it is missing one of the connections for the wipers. I have no idea if they are available. My winter project was supposed to be my '51 clock which was working but "over wound?" And locked up. No progress on that front.
