If my local Napa doesn't have it in the store, they usually can get it same day or the next morning. Obviously being near Chicago they have access to a large regional warehouse.

Thanks, that is helpful!

Which carb do you have? There should be a number on the little brass triangle tag on the carb.

See if your local Napa can get the parts and save on the shipping.

A cheap hole punch set from HF will pay for itself over and over.

Great for making tail light wiring holes in rubber gaskets!

Also, making gaskets from scratch when no premade ones are available.

The one that came on my 37 when I got it was much larger than expected. It was for a senior car or an earlier one, not sure. The junior caps are smaller in diameter, even though the neck is the same.

If I had to deal with this problem, I'd probably go this route, vs trying to "Bondo" the surface smooth. Also, Weldwood for the adhesive vs the 3M weather strip adhesive.

I added the ability to create bookmarks for posts you want to revisit quickly. Even on my own Project Blogs, it can be tedious to go back and find something. So, this lets you create bookmarks for any specific posts in a thread.

You should now see a Bookmark Icon on every post here:




If you click it, it will pop up an Add Bookmark Window:




By default, it will use the title and post number for the description. But you can change it to something more meaningful to you when you go back and look at it later:




To access your list of saved bookmarks, click the Bookmark List icon available at the top of the Forum screen:




This shows all your saved bookmarks. Clicking on any bookmark link will take you directly to that post. You can also use the little red trashcan icon to delete any bookmarks you don't want anymore:




Let me know how it works for you.

I took every bit of wiring out of my 54 and replaced it. Even though it was plastic-covered wiring, there were still places where the insulation was cracking off. Not to mention the damage that rats caused to the original harness. Also, there are areas of the body where parts of the harness go over sharp regions of the body unprotected, which can abrade the insulation over time. The worst area I saw was where the rear feed harness comes up the A-Pillar and across the roof. That is a sharp area at the top of the pillar where it makes that hard turn. I covered the harness in that plastic split loom tubing in just that area just to give it some extra protection. A short there near old headliner material would not be a good thing.
