Here is mine, all installed. Glued right in once I got all the old gasket cleaned out. Thanks again for the help guys!

Yeah, that’s it! Flip the stabilizer over, and you’ll have plenty of room.

Yeah, up and over, it’s tight. I think I had to disconnect at the muffler, slide that pipe forward and then hook up the tail pipe last time I did it.

Terrill Machine in Deleon TX can also supply the bushings. The fuel pump fastens to the block with bolts, I think they are 5/16, but that’s going off memory.

It’s been a very busy several weeks from a life perspective, but I’ve been chipping away. Today was finally the culmination of my trunk preservation project.

Have new weatherstripping for the trunk, probably next weekend I’ll pull the trunk lid off to redo the weatherstripping and treat the rust around the trunk gutters.

I was going to get the cowl vent gasket cemented in today too, but the cement I had was no good. I do have all of the rust treated, so that is ready to go.

Looks great Hank! I’m a full on purist, and I’ll be the first to say, purists be damned! Interested to hear how it works!

Thanks all for the info, looks like it goes where I thought it did! I’ll post pictures once I have it glued in.

(My 1,000th post! Kinda cool...)

So, in the quest to make it so that I can wash my car again without getting the interior all wet, I'm fixing some of the weather stripping on my 1937 120 touring sedan.

I ordered a cowl vent gasket from Steele rubber. What was on my very orginal, never restored car is rubber weather stripping on the body side. It was very petrified, but clearly attached to the depression in the body for the cowl vent.

What came from Steele appears to go on the cowl vent, vice laying down in the body cavity. Based on looking at the cowl vent, I don't think anything has ever been attached there, and I think the cowl vent would not lay flush with the body if I glued that gasket on.

I've looked through the parts manual (book calls for weather stripping, part number 308805) and the service counselors to see if this was a mid-year change or something, but didn't find anything.

Of course I noticed this on Friday night, so I can't call Steele or Max Merritt to see if they have any information on the difference.

Has anyone sourced the correct weather strip for the cowl vent that sits down in the body channel? If so, where did it come from?

Kevin, good to see about the generator, and I'll have to remember that tip. I just replaced the bearing and brushes in mine, but the commutator looked good, so I didn't do more work, and it's charging fine.

Sorry to hear about the snow. My parents are near you, in N. Idaho, and had the same issue. Hope it melts off soon!

West, it’s a neat looking batch of cars, and sorry for all the negative comments, and advice to people who are past taking it that this thread has generated!

These are beyond my skill level, and I don’t have the time right now for such a Herculean undertaking, but I hope they find a new home!
