Jim, Yes, we sandblasted them well and used J-B Weld to repair the bores and also the inlet and outlet spigots. When necessary, we would sleeve the spigots with tubing and secure it and build the outs

Steve, Quite possibly the master cylinder. There are two ports in there, one lets the fluid return to the master cylinder, from the wheel cylinders, after a brake application is over. Talk about excit

Andy, Since we did a lot of them, I made some jigs and tools, to do the job easier and better. For just a couple, it's not worth the investment in time, to do so. Make sure that the bores are clean an

Chris, The later cars were different. I assume due to the lack of leverage provided, by the direct connection, as is installed on your (early) car, they changed and added a "swinging" lever, that gave

Although I've never paid any attention to crankcase numbers (I always looked at the conditions and features), there are several differences in webbing thicknesses. The early ones are very much less su

Your description is a bit hard for me to follow, but look at the transmission mount bolts. Butch

James, That is a standard, LoveJoy connector. Yes, there is a reason to NOT use it. The Crosley connector, controls the location of the water pump impeller, keeping it from going back against the scro

Crosley temperature gauges are all MECHANICAL, no electric sending unit involved. Just a capillary tube, filled with either or alcohol, I don't recall which. If it's been cut off, it must be rebuilt.

Skip, I'm confused. The canister filter RETURN line, attaches to the crankcase, on the driver's side, not the passenger's side. The canister filter feed line, comes from the FRONT of the crankcase, on

Jim, While the original rears were 7/8", all of the replacements, for many years have been 3/4", as far as I know. I do know, that all of the ones that we sol, were 3/4". Butch Virus-free. www.avast.c

My guess is, you have a stuck piston, a bad rubber line or the shoes are not properly adjusted. You do know that each shoe, on each wheel, must be adjusted separately and the each shoe has two adjustm

David, CE, will be an engine number, for some stupid reason, a number of states used the engine number for title and registration purposes. No, automatic transmissions were never used in Crosleys, fro

6" possibly has a bit smoother engagement. The 6 1/2 has more holding power. Both of those claims are subject to conditions. Yes, the flywheel/pressure plates, have different bolt patterns. Butch

Neal, I have never seen a Tin Block, with the fuel pump mounting location, any where but the front of the camshaft area. The fuel pump is NOT driven by the camshaft itself, but rather by an eccentric

The drawing is wrong. The large end, it should be a vee, like and arrow head, goes up, into the bore. The VEE sealing rings go over it and it helps expand them. Butch Virus-free. www.avast.com

Take it to a parts or an electrical supply house, find a couple of female bullet connectors, the correct size, and male connectors that fit the harness, and make a couple of pigtail adapters. If you d

Rear manifold bolt, is one place, or thru a starter bolt hole, or the starter hole itself (in the bellhousing), are a couple of others. Butch

Brett, A year and model would help, but since you mentioned rebuilding them, I assume that you're talking about the lever (knee) action shocks. Yes, they are single acting, yes, you can service them y

Either, a mechanical or electric gauge will work. Finding a 6 volt electric gauge, in stock locally, might be a challenge. Any mechanical gauge will work, it is not voltage or vehicle specific. Butch

Just remember, you want a LOW pressure pump, 1 1/2 to 3 pounds output. BTW, if you mentioned it, I missed it. What carb do you have? Butch
