Thanks, I know that Tetraethyl works for the valves as history shows, but not so sure about the aftermarket products. I guess the vintage cars can legally cruise on leaded gas without any DOT repercussions……🤔

Thanks for the info, I guess the engine is running so sweet at 73, I want to feed it right, so she’ll last a looooooonng time!😊

Hi guys,
What’s the drawbacks if any to using 110 octane leaded fuel to blend with nonalcoholic gasoline in my 49’ std. 8 engine? Also if anyone is doing this already, would you share your mix ratio. I can get 5 gallons of SUNOCO 110 leaded for $73.009.
I value your opinion, as I think my valves would just love a little shot of lead!😀

Thanks su8overdrive,
I will remember to do that, and will keep your rebuilder in mind.

Hello,
Went to Charleston SC this past weekend and was surprised whenI went to visit the USS Yorktown museum. Lo and behold I found this! A 1938 Packard military staff car on board. It was in good condition inside and out considering it was aboard an aircraft carrier hangar deck, in the harbor. Wish I could attach more pics , but space here is limited. Please if you are in Charleston, go see the Yorktown, it is well worth it.

Hey guys
A while back I mentioned putting a fuel filter just before the carburetor on my ‘49 std 8. Well here is a pic of what i have. Let me know if this looks to be the right one. It has a ceramic filter in the bowl.

I have a dual action fuel pump on my std. 8 sedan that also pumps vacuum. How hard is it to rebuild? Also who would have a rebuild it for it?
Thanks!
Racing with the moon!

Thanks for the research i know I would find help with this here at this site!👌

Thanks, I shall proceed to purchase a new ceramic filter for the glass bowl and have the fuel line connector threads chased out before installing it. 👍🏻

Would it be ok to install a carter 30-82 fuel bowl/ ceramic filter inline just before the carb? I have one and think it would look really neat on my ‘49 std 8 sedan….🤔

Yes I seem to have a vacuum diaphragm leak as oil must be getting pulled into the vacuum tube and shot into the intake as at times I’m getting a cloud of oil smoke when accelerating that goes away soon after, usually after it is idling a while. But not seeing/smelling any gas in the oil.
