Try as I might, always some stumper pops up <G>. After switch rod arrived, I bought final pieces at Zephyrhills today to complete lighting/horn assembly on the steering column: spring, spider, retainer, the light switch body and the switch bail. I see where switch body has an upper and lower...

I think I've miscommunicated: my A has a '30 cap and per 'mACs' is vented. I just can't see the vents and apparently it has become non venting while fixing some leaks ... Surprised that a little weeping at the gage and glass filter bowl would allow trial running of engine if the cap was...

Re: Gas cap vent Tom, I regasketed, replaced float on the fuel gauge and new screen to glass filter bowl. Now it appears engine starves when cap on tightly... My question is where does fuel system get vented to avoid starvation? I See no vents/holes in my cap. Thanks, Dick

Syndersantique advised A-3616-H. Ordered it.

Adjustment worked but rusty lock nut behind Clovis was a bear <g>. Thanks for clarifications. Dick

Thanks. Decided to leave grease cups off and perform normal maintenance.

Tried over at HAMB to figure out what to do to get axel grease cups on my 30 axel with my '32 16" wheels . Ordered '30 cups not knowing they would be too tall for the '35 hub caps. Think someone referenced the 'ego axel length.. Never had a car without grease cups and wonder if necessary on my...

Just set brake handle and: couldn't manually turn left rear but right rear spins easily.... What,s to lose if I tighten the Clevis some? Thanks, Dick

I'm not sure if it is unlocking due to worn pawl or my suspicion of just insufficient force applied to the shoes. Don't understand the being too tight comment unless it also is aimed a worn pawl. Been a while since I encountered this problem but seem to remember this sequence: backed out of...

Someplace I read about adjusting handle to a specific number of clicks.. My brake handle clicks twice but doesn't,t hold on a slight driveway grade? Before I get into pulling the rear drums, I would like to try whatever adjustment is possible... I see maybe 1/2-3/4" of adjustment on the...

Thanks, it was shim and pried off with exacto blade. New float n gaskets on.

Joe, guess I lost my reply. Not having anything except steering column and box, still not sure how MACs " measure from top of rod under light switch to 'keeper' groove just before bottom end" is done. Thanks for other info but maybe one more time <G>. Dick

Don't want to break anything so... Outer ring removed but remaining assembly appears stuck although it can rotate. Thought I'd ask for suggestions. Thanks, Dick

My 30A came without the subject and I'm ready to install an assembly if: I can determine if the two-tooth is a Gemmer (?) or Ford and therefore needs a 43 or 44" shaft?? I'd rather not cut off and thread anything. I'm studying the MAC's catalog picture but unable to measure with nothing there...
