Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

Also today I flushed out the brake and fuel lines using an Eastwood product for the purpose. I’m a bit disappointed with it, though, as it seems nothing more than carburetor cleaner with a special applicator. Does anyone know of a cleaner product that will actually remove rust?
To flush the fuel lines and because it has to come out for rebuild anyway I pulled the pump. I noticed immediately that it had several gaskets under it and getting it out I noticed that the arm was very worn. I’ve seen photos of them worn like that but none of mine are! I believe I have cores with good arms, though.
Even though I’ve owned the car for decades, I’ve not really done anything to it so I was also surprised to see a vacuum canister. Whether Henney installed it or aftermarket I don’t know.
Near the canister is the end of the speedometer cable which has no gear on it so I’ll have to scrounge around for another for an overdrive car.
