Hello all, I need some assistance troubleshooting an issue with my 36. To and from the car show today the car was not running smoothly. Felt like a misfire, was sputtering under load and then would run fine again for a brief period before it did it again. This started after about 15 min of...

Has anyone experienced a leaking fuel pump after winter storage? It was rebuilt last summer and had no issues. I started it up last weekend and looked to be leaking from the diaphragm. Tightening all the screws helped but still leaking. Just wonder if this has been seen before and what the...

Thought I would share what I worked on this weekend. On my original light switch the internal brass contacts broke, I tried to rebuild them but anytime you went over a bump the lights would flicker. Since the cheapest original replacement I have ever seen was $400 I decided to replace it with...

Has anyone else seen where the in dash oil pressure gauge on a 1936 coupe is exactly 10 psi higher than a mechanical gauge which is on the same T as the oil pressure sender. The sender is new from Thirdgen. Andy

I was looking for vacuum leaks with carb cleaner and found the idle screws weren't sealing. What is the recommended fix? Is it time for a new base from Stromberg? I put some Permatex aviation form a gasket on the threads and it has made an improvement.

Looking for suggestions on how to remove these Stromberg Idle Jets. I'm guessing they need to be drilled out. Any other ideas welcomed.

Does anyone happen to know the size bolts used to mount the seat in a 36 3 window? I want to say 1/4 or 5/16 by 3/4". I looked through the EFV8 book and couldn't find any mention of the seat. Andy

I'm cleaning out the garage. Any value in keeping old valves, springs, keepers?

Does any one have a source or alternate solution for the clips that hold the trim around the topside of the window on a 36. I called ThirdGen and it sounds like they are made from unobtanium. I was thinking about just using 3M body and trim tape. Andy

Does anyone have directions on cleaning the original mesh air filter for 1936? I looked in the EFV8 Book for 35/36 and didn't see anything. I also searched the forum and couldn't find anything conclusive either. I'm assuming its something along the lines of soak in parts cleaner and then mist...

What is the preferred air filter option on a 36? Should I stick with original style or is a oil bath filter better? I had one of those tiny chrome hot rod element filters on and I'm 90% sure that was causing the rich running issues.

Has anyone rebuilt a generator themselves? It looks fairly simple. Is it possible to swap parts like armature and field coils from a Model A generator into a 36 generator? I also picked up a 30 amp saddle mount generator. Is it possible to use this on my 36?

Need some help troubleshooting / rebuilding a generator. On my way back home today from a car show around the last 5 miles of a 35 mile trip the ammeter started bouncing everywhere and then would return to normal. When I got home I opened the hood to hit the battery disconnect and saw the...

I fully cleaned out the trunk this weekend and found some parts I didnt know I had. Just wondering if anyone knows where they go. I'm pretty sure this is the shroud under the radiator. But I have no idea where this one goes.

Was there ever a factory brake reservoir cover for the floor or was this a DIY install and I just need to make something up? I have already come to the conclusion someone at some point hacked the floor apart to do what I'm guessing was a pedal extension mod. So planning on making a new floor...
