I am looking for an original owner's manual, not a reproduction.
If you have one that you are willing to part with, please send me a private message and we will talk about it.

Thanks for looking.

I understand that this coil base was used on the 1939 Super Eight.
If it has other application, I would appreciate knowing.
I'll take $50 and provide free shipping to lower 48; other locations please ask.

Thanks for looking...

Our 526 SIX had the same problem....pegging at 50. We solved it by removing the plate under the oil pump, the screen pops out with a little coaxing.
We removed the spring and ball, cleaned the ball, cleaned the seat and reassembled.
Be careful to note the depth of the adjustment screw when you take it apart.

I am looking for the front stabilizer/roll control assembly for the 1937-38 Super-Eight.
It is part number 234561 in the Parts book on p.214
It differs from the Twelve unit in the way it attaches to the frame.

Many thanks.
I wondered if one had to do something with the shaft on the top and the bottom.

Bob

We are trying to determine why the light switch is not working.
When I move the left lever in the steering wheel, I can see the bottom of a shaft moving, but nothing in the base rotates to turn the lights on.

The service manual assumes you know how to take it apart.
Unfortunately, I don't know how so I hope someone in the community can provide a step by step solution.

I had been working with Chuck Blackman since 1967 on documenting the 1937 Super-Eights and Twelves, and I will tell you it is a really tough job because a lot of owners..

1. don't know how to interpret numbers on their cars..
2. don't reply to phone calls, email or USPS mail.
One can only take the highest serial number of each body style and hope the sum approaches the total known to have been produced.
For the 1937s we have a 97% confidence level that we know APPROXIMATELY how many were produced in each model.

What does the wood molding look like and what is the length?

The car has a motometer and did not run hot. Next time I will use a laser for the temp.

Most people struggle with low oil pressure.
This engine reportedly was rebuilt about 8 years ago.
It seems to run fine, but at low rpm it is at close to 60 pounds.
I suspected the gauge on the instrument panel so I bypassed it and installed a new gauge at the back of the engine.

I have removed the bypass valve assembly which is controlled by the choke and did not find an obstruction.

Initially I had 10w-30 oil and tried 5w20 with no real difference.

I know there is an adjustment down in the oil pump. Would that have total control of the pressure?

I do not have an oil filter installed, so what is the down side of high oil pressure?

Any help would be appreciated.
