EDIT: @rusty1 I didn't remove the side cover today because I didn't have a replacement gasket. So today I followed the procedure outlined by...
@sunbeam - Yes sir, it is tightly secured.
@rusty1 When you say "turn the U's 180°" are you talking about the large and small U's on the inner shift levers (circled in the crappy attached pic)?
Hey @rusty1 , no I have not yet tried that since the issue went away after replacing the (non-existent) bushings in the linkage. I will give that...
UPDATE: Made it back home. Of course, after about a mile of holding it in third, it started working again with no trouble. So my issue has once...
@squirrel That is about how much is in the tank right now.
EDIT: Something else I found, when I disconnect the sender wire from the sending unit and measure resistance between the disconnected end of the...
Thank you, @simplestone !
@1953 chevy , @52HardTop , and @Mimilan - thank you for your suggestions! I will try to make some time tomorrow and try these and report back with...
@VANDENPLAS The gauge is wired as such: 12v switched ignition to "E" side of gauge (via the Runtz), sender wire to "F" side of gauge. The sending...
Thanks, squirrel. I did bench test the sender and it seemed to be working properly. I did not, however, disconnect the sender wire and test...
I finally got a Runtz installed on my fuel gauge, but it still doesn't work. In still waiting to find out if the gauge was switched out for a 12v...
That's it, DIYGUY! THANKS to you and Mr48chev for the pics and info!!
I'm trying to figure out how to attach the wiper blades on my '52 3100. I have these wiper arms and these blades (arms are already installed). The...
Well yesterday I made (adapted, really) new nylon bushings for the shift levers in my '52 3100. Today I found a copy of the '52 shop manual online...
Well the problem seems to be fixed! I redid the bushings where the shift levers connect to the shift rods (attached pic) and I can now shift into...
Thank you, 66gmc, Tri-power37, inthweedz, and Old wolf. I went to Home Depot and Lowe's today and found some nylon spacers that fit the bushing...
Thanks, Old wolf. I think I found rubber bushings for the shift levers at Chev's of the 40's. I would rather have a nylon busing like the one...
Thanks, shovelheadrider and rustyl.
I think I'm wearing Google out trying to research this shifter/transmission. I noticed that the bushing for the R/1 shift lever is missing...
Thanks a bunch for the suggestions, 302GMC, Terrible80, and Atwater Mike. Trucks of this vintage are completely new to me so I'm definitely not...
I've had my '52 truck for just a few days now (since Monday). My aunt and uncle had the truck fully restored a few years ago. I've driven it a...
Thanks, 52HardTop. My aunt and uncle are out of town at the moment, but I'm going to get with them and see if they can put me in touch with...
I tried one more thing. I disconnected the sending wire from the sending unit and then ran a jumper between the sending unit and the gauge and it...
I hope I'm posting this in the right section. I read through all the guidelines and I think this is the right place. I just reacquired my...
Thanks for the welcome! I plan on keeping the truck mostly stock aside from the few creature comforts added during the resto (power steering,...
Howdy, y'all! Clearly, I'm new to the forum. I just reacquired my grandfather's 1952 Chevy 3100. It's been in my family since my grandfather...
