Thanks to all
I see the flex opening the screw, missed that one 😊
Stromberg BXOV 2 I think ? ( or 3)
This is what was installed by last owner,
I have the original GC that needs rebuilt.
This evening I installed a rubber grommet and a small O ring in place of the spring.
I like the idea of a star washer, see how the rubber works,

Drifting air fuel adjustment
#2

OK, so here’s the story.
37 Packard 115 C.
Stock carburetor.
I have a constant issue with the air fuel idle mixture screw drifting. This causes over fuel condition, rough running, etc.
In the picture was my fix.
Does anyone have other suggestions on how to keep the needle valve screw from adjusting out.
This usually happens after I’ve driven the car and parked it and let it cool down.
The car started right up at the garage. Ran great until I got about 2 miles from our dinner stop..
When I parked I turned the screw about an eighth of a turn, maybe like a 16th into the lean and the car idle right out.
It ran ok back to the house and then t turned about 1/8 turn lean and it smoothed out , better than the parking lot adjustment.
Thanks

Not sure if you found a shipper but I've heard FASTENALL does a store to store transfer service.
One thing is I believe you need to pick up your items ASAP.

First, HAPY NEW YEAR to all !
My friend and I did the interior on my 37 115c and I did a series of posts about the project.

My life experiences had NO upholstery in it and Linda was an at home seamstress with no upholstery experience.

We decided that it was just pieces stitched together and if we could disassemble it and measure it than we could duplicate it.

In the postings I tried to cover the high points of the issues found.

Topic: "1937 115c touring, Upholstery"

Please check it out as a little pre new year relaxation.

Larry

When I was doing the refresh on my 37 I also found the material was flaking and a little soft so I used SPAR VARNINSH on it to help stabelize and bond it together.

This worked great
NOTE: almost any penetrating finish in your shop could be used as you want it to soak in and help bond the upper fibers.
