What about this part? Is it supposed to have a flat at the bottom or have the round hole?

I bought a Daytona carb kit but it doesn't include the brass parts which wear out. To me the metering needles look worn. One of my low speed jets is bent. Is the metering rod arm supposed to be round inside or have a flat like the pump arm? My coil housing gasket is cracked and is not in the kit....

I have photos of all my parts in question but looked like I could only upload one picture.

I have 2 of these carbs. One is on the car and runs but looks like it would start a fire at any time - dried out and cracked gaskets etc. And this spare which I will rebuild.

There is no engine number. There are no back fees because last registration was 1994. I used my angle die grinder with wire brush and cleaned the area completely - the pad as shown in your Identification Pages And the raised pad farther forward, plus I used a mirror and looked all around the right side of the engine, I did not remove the starter to look for a number there.

I live out in the woods and the CHP will come to my house and verify my cars, they have in the past. One time the officer didn't know how to fill out the paper, so I did it for him and he signed it.

So let's put it this way...If you were going to buy my car and the VIN was the Anti-Theft number or the VN tag number which would you prefer to see?

I have the Calif title, that's not any help if the woman used a number that doesn't exist. I consider myself an expert when it comes to the DMV waiving back fees. But in this case the number she used - I cannot find.

So I just need to know if I use the VN number or the Anti Theft number?

My car is supposed to have a 327 engine but the head reads 288 AT

My girlfriend and I bought a 1954 Packard Clipper Deluxe 4 door sedan. It had been parked since 1994. With the normal things one must do when a car has been parked we got it running after about 2 weeks of ownership and we started doing the brakes.

We bought it from a reputable seller/friend and it came with a clean California title. The problem is it was registered with the engine number as being the VIN but there is no engine number on the engine.

Along the driver side raised portion toward the back of the engine it is just a lumpy casting. In California when a car has been off the road for X amount of time we must have an officer match the car VIN with the title or we can lose the title and get the vehicle inspected with just a bill of sale.

My question is then if there is no engine number, what number should I use on my new title? I have the stainless steel Packard tag with the 4 & 4 digits, I have the Briggs body number and I have the Anti-Theft number.

Currently:

Vehicle ID Number M301163
Body Type Model SDTR5492

I have a similar problem with my 1940 Nash but I did find the VIN tag rivetted to the chassis after a bit of searching.
