Re: Light Bulb Designation, Vendors that Sell

Home away from home

The owners manual is incorrect.
The rear bulb should be an 1154 with offset locating pins as per the parts list, not an 1158 which has the locating pins directly opposite

Re: 1948 Super Side View Mirrors

Home away from home

If you twist the mirrors relative to the mounting arm you should be able to find a position where they can be rotated towards or away from the body tol give you a good view to the rear.

The passenger side is more difficult.

On a side note, when I was looking at the parts book, I came across GRP 9.015 PN 338580 (Surps: 316169), which is listed as Weather Seal, Pedal Push Rod. I see that Max Merrit has it listed, but Steele does not.

Is this just a simple flat piece of rubber with a hole and a slit that is glued to the toeboard? The picture on Max's website makes it appear that way. They have it listed for all models 1935-1947.

It is about 1/32" thick and 1-13/16" outside diameter, fairly rigid and just floats on the push rod. not glued to the toe board.

I thought it was just a gasket on the case?

1953-55 uses a square cross section o-ring that sits inside a groove in the carrier, previous years used a gasket

If you are using it for 6 volts, the bulb is a 4515, 30W PAR36
For 12 volts, 4405, 30W PAR 36

You will need a heat valve counterweight. Yours is broken off and missing.

Re: fuel pump

Home away from home

I have some old AC and Airtex fuel pump catalogs and found the AC 9589 pump number in an Airtex catalog that crossed over to the Airtex replacement pump number AX 9294 and then found the 1949-54 Oldsmobile listing from there.
The arm on the pump in the original photos is definitely too long and wrong for Packard applications.
