Ray has my old spring and says he has been unable to find one. I also spoke with Roy Nacewicz and he has nothing that matches up. I thought I posted images a while back but I am thumbs when it comes to managing this site. I can try again......

I will try him. Thanks

I thought I sent you a message but maybe I am not doing it correctly. I have been some what distracted since I sent the May message and just saw your response. Unfortunately the spring I received was not compatible. It seems what I am looking for is not easy to find. It may be a 1 year item, no...

I have been on the hunt for a driver-side rear door latch spring for my 1940 Deluxe Station wagon. I would be willing to purchase a whole latch if you have one available.

If you have to go through NJ V12Bill kinda nails it. If you can avoid NJ fight your way through DC-Baltimore, pickup I-83 into Harrisburg, then I-78 to I-81 up to I-84 which puts you on the New York Thruway. May be longer but may be worth it.

Deuce_Roadster, It does look common but I have been told the "look a-likes" do not work.

I hope Job Lot is not closing. I have used them for years and they have always been very knowledgeable and helpful. If I give them a part number they either have it or know who should have it. I am going to call them to see whats up. That said any help will be appreciated. I sent pictures in...

I exploded the image. Hopefully this will be helpful

Here is an image of the spring. It broke at the point where it exits the mount located in the center of the "coil". Hopefully this helps. I am waiting for the collector that thought he had one in his inventory to send my original back to me.

I have a 1940 Deluxe Station Wagon (woodie). The driver side rear, outside door handle spring broke. It has proven to be a part that is used only on this model and year only. Although it may also be compatible with 1939 wagons and '39 and '40 convertibles. From what I have determined there are...

Thank you all for your information. The replacement sending unit actually worked pretty well for a while but I am afraid it may suffer from quality issues. I was hoping there was a more reliable unit on the market. The adapter idea is something to consider. For now I suppose I will buy another...

My arm chair diagnosis is the distributor. Send it out and have it rebuilt and set up. And make sure the coil is good.

In 2012 I finally threw in the towel and replaced the gas tank of my 1940 deluxe wagon (that jobs no fun!). It never occurred to me that the original sending unit that worked just fine was not compatible. Be as it may I bought the compatible unit, both the tank and sending unit originating from...

With out getting long winded, I smell a coil problem. When the coil is bad everything is bad !

38 Pick up, I have been battling a similar running issue with my 40 Station Wagon. All ignition symptoms are now good. So I am throwing in the towel and installing a new fuel tank and fuel line with an in line filter. Then I am going to disassemble the recently rebuilt carburetor and clean it...

I bought my 40 deluxe station wagon from the original family. I have the original title dated June 1940!

Not being an engineer or a scientist (now we have that out of the way) the thought occurred to me that a trace of light lubricant could offset the effects of the ethanol/thinner in our gas in addition to being a passive temperature stabilizer. Just a thought.

I was having a conversation with an individual who lives in the San Fernando Valley (Hot) about fuel issues. He said some people with affected cars use fuel cooling dry ice containers in line. An old drag racing trick and you can buy them from Speedway. Seems a little severe but apparently it...

Yep, and I am dreaming about that eureka moment!

Update..... Took the car for a ride Sunday to warm it up and then check the fuel pressure. The car drove about a mile, started acting up and died. She had little or no spark and fuel in the float bowl. Towed her home removed the coil and sent it to Skip. A little confusing because when I jumped...
