Previously experienced the problem described. I put the flex straw from a can of PB Blaster in that hole Howard describes and gave it a generous shot, it seemed to help at that time.

In youthful days seems like there was a "scrapyard" in town with an old timey steam shovel, their scrap consisted of bits and pieces of metal.
Then there were "junkyards" or auto "graveyards" where a kid like me could purchase parts. Times were different and as a kid I was allowed to wander the yard and pull parts. Probably others, but radio, heater, and an electric clutch that I removed from wrecks and installed on dad's Packard. By removing I learned how to install and make it work again.

Dirk, I don't have your answers, but following with interest.
Long ago in high school 23rd series with overdrive, somewhat familiar with its use. Presently have a 40 110 and wondered the same about adding overdrive. Good luck with your project.

>>> but believe it is a 1948 Series 22 produced in 1949.
Oval taillights, wouldn't this make it a 23rd Series? Later 49/50? Maybe just a typo in the post but might make a difference when searching for parts.

Don't know if a benefit to your thoughts or not, but dad purchased a new 23rd series 49/50.
Car was kept in a garage, and we didn't drive that much in those days, maybe 28,000 miles when we moved in late 57. Just an uneducated guess that in the early days, folks with cars didn't drive much and likely were wealthy.

Don may just be me, but your car is quite lovely as it sits, something about a survivor that stands above one that is restored.

"Also i was never able to find a zell dealership in Washington so I was wondering about that"
Wasn't Zell in Baltimore MD? I has been years, but a young fellow that stayed at our little motel said Zell was his grandfather.

Mine in teenage years (59-60) (Dad's) was a 23rd series, originally all rubber flooring in poor shape replaced by black carpet, but always my interest to watch and learn. Double row of stitching on binding, the binding was placed upside down on top of carpet, a row of stitching to hold, folded around the edge of the carpet and stitched a second time.
