Is it possible the internal contacts are the problem?
What is the procedure to access and test them? Thanks

Back up Light Bulb

Hello to all. On an 1950 Super eight, what number bulb is used for the back-up light?. I checked the 23rd series manual, it's not listed. I checked 24 series no listing. After dissembling the light there was no bulb in the socket. As I am pulling new wires as I go along, I found it interesting there is no wiring information in the wiring schematic. No colors or wire sizes in the schematic for the 22,23 24 series for the back-up light switch. Or where to get the power from. My current plan is to get power from the accessory breaker. But I still need a bulb number. Can anyone help?.

Speedo pinion to use will depend on your rear axle ratio and tire size.
For 1946 models with overdrive, the 6 cylinder cars came with a 4:55 to 1 rear axle and the small 8 cylinder cars came with 4:3 to 1. Standard tires were 15 inch and export may have been 16 inch. Best match speedo pinion will be the 412443 which has 18 teeth and was used with axle ratios of 4:3 and 4;36 for 15 inch tires 412442 has 17 teeth and used for axle ratios of 3:9 and 4:1 412444 has 19 teeth and was used for taxi and commercial chassis cars with 4:36 axle ratio and 16 inch tires. This one will be scarce.

During the fuel pump rebuild, did you pre-load the diaphragm as you screwed the halves back together.

I am having a fuel starvation situation. I took the Super out on a "quick" road test Saturday, only planned to do 1/4 mile or so to test the vacuum system. The car died 4 times and I had to have my wife bring the truck to tow it back home.
Here are the facts: -Fuel pump newly rebuilt by me, no leaks -Carb rebuilt by me -Fresh fuel (5 gallons) in the fuel tank -Existing aux electric fuel pump near the fuel tank (works) -Line from the fuel pump to the carb confirmed clear -Car idles okay, but after giving it some gas the fuel doesn't seem to catch back up and it dies. Confirmed no fuel in the carb....accelerator pump dry. No fuel in the line from the pump the carb. Where should I start looking? I followed the directions to the letter when the fuel pump was rebuilt. I can't understand where the problem would be there. I don't know the history of the fuel tank, but the gas in the fuel bowl is clean and clear. Any thoughts? -Kevin

This is all wonderful information thank you!! so if I want to get one of these working I got to start working on getting Box two fixed by finding out why the yellow terminal is always going to ground. R H, that doesnt look to bad to replicate. I can try and do something like that if you dont have the time and dont mind sharing the gerber file, wiring diagram, and component information.

I just heard from my hosting provider that they are terminating their contract with one of their data centers due to rising costs. That data center happens to be where this server is hosted.
As such, they need to relocate my VPS server to one of their other leased data centers. I'll let you know when this is going to happen. But hopefully, it only involves being down for a few hours.

Smear it with silicone grease or waterless hand cleaner, sit it over the hole and then jack up the frame of the car so that the falling shock arm pushes it into place.
