Definitely use a smart charger/tender if it’s going to sit. I have both Noco and Battery Tender brands, all work as advertised. Amazon had a sale on the 4 bank Noco, only thing is it doesn’t do 6V agm.

Great transmissions, even better if you have the full synchronized Saginaw. Still run them, have for years. http://https://www.studebaker-info.org/Tech/Transmission/BW-OD/BorgWarner.html

Post a picture as I can’t remember exactly what they look like where it screws in. Several different options if you’re willing to adapt or modify. If it has an insert you can replace it to run the more common larger bolt or cut and tig weld a regular screw to the head of an adjuster, worst case...

Yes there are quite a few younger kids around here, I see them at shows and swap meets. These cars definitely hit their peak and are on the down slide........so be it. The cars and parts go back into hiding, it's happened before. The big thing is they will be more attainable again. Also the true...

Does anyone have an overall length for the rod to tighten the clamp.

A little welding and it'll be ok. I just wanted to know if that piece is a friction fit as I don't see any indication of welding. I'll look for another donor piece and clamp or I'll make my own if need be.

Does the slotted part that the clamp goes around come off?. I bought a air cleaner and it has the smaller center inside but the clamp and the other slotted part that goes around the carb is missing and it doesn't look like it's been cutoff.

I have a few from my grandparents in storage at my moms. I remember them on the bar top when I was a kid and I do believe one is an A roadster.

Thanks that’s good to hear. I thought I remembered reading that it was. Still collecting parts.

You missed a good swap. This one will be less then a 1/4 of that size, maybe the size of the one in San Bernardino.

I haven't been going that long, but I have been going since it was at the Los Alamitos parking lot. There are still lots of small club swaps around here (plus Turlock) and a little more north (I did go to Orcutt once). I think in the higher priced areas it's getting harder to find a spot to hold...

Looking for: -Good used battery tray -Junk door locks, I need the spring and long bar from them -The air dam on top of the radiator -Oil bath air cleaner Local is better for at least the large parts. Let me know what you have. Thanks

I have a '51 wagon that's going to 12v. I haven't had time to check out the size of the solenoid....but I do remember it was close to the floor. Does the wagons have a special shorter solenoid for the o/d unit or can I use any 12v solenoid.

Going to this one.....
