Weather looks a little sketchy Fri but we'll just have to see.
I used 70 BB Chevelle springs with air in front of my '57. Took 1.5 coils off and the car sits 1 inch lowered. The resulting spring rate is more...
The '57 pump is quite durable, seals are available. You would only save a pound or 2. The '59 setup is more modern & uses basically the same...
Don't forget: The last Studebaker ever built was 60 years ago today. And Green!
I believe originally they are reverse or inverted flair, something like that.
Pretty much what Fordors says, You have Pontiac parts :) 347 & 336 parts should do the trick. But not 370 parts as that was an Oldsmobile 371...
Very cool. Can't wait for the Dyno tests :)
Finally got this pump back together, who knew that linoleum was harder than an oil pump gear? Had to buff off a small burr. Sanded the pump plate...
5 bucks says Squirrel nails it!
Going to revisit my rear brakes in the Spring, wondering if you ever sorted things out.
Wondering what you came up with...
Yes. All gave some, Some gave all!

Hmm. Watching. Cam bearing misalignment?
I would love to know. Thinking the Hispanic side of town may be the hot ticket. They work harder than i do!
I was a little surprised to read that Firestone had their own spark plug factory, dating back to at least the 30's. Didn't just brand someone...
Cranking? Is that "starting"? Jolting?
What a steaming pantload. Guessing you and another 100 vendors will fall by the wayside again this year.
Ebb set me up with a nice set of gears, no charge! They look very good too. I have freshened up some clean, older pumps by lightly buffing the...

On those tall gears, it looks like the "coupling collar" might be in da wrong spot? 1940 Caddy 346.
"get out your die grinder and a cutoff wheel..." Def thought of that. "What was done and why?"- Thought of posting in one picture worth a thousand...
Picked up this great Oil pump core, Flathead Caddy. It's worth a few bucks. Started scraping the barnacles off and saw this. Sigh. [ATTACH]
"Sears also sold houses there's a Sears home next to the Bloomington Garage in California." I live in one! A 1939. I think '39 or 40 was the last...
You will need to do more research but IIRC, the main diff is the bore. And the Caddy used a harmonic damper while the LaSalle just used a front...
Warm it up.
dreams are for young guys, reality is for us old guys. wow.
I had thought this thread was headed in a totally different direction...
Sounds like a great project! Some info on line, some here. Cleaning up the intake & exhaust ports may help a lot.
"I've never seen a Carter AFB that wasn't all aluminum" AFB stands for Aluminum Four Barrel... Marketing genius, I tell yuh!!
