Jeff, If it's not yet taken, I will take it. Butch

Do you have a COMPLETE set of instructions, for both? Especially the Tillotson? There are critical things on bot, but the Tillotson is easily damaged, by incorrect disassembly. If you have questions o

The VC wiring diagram is the same as the CD. It's in the Service Manual, listed as "with directional signals". I can't recall, and significant differences, if there are any. Butch Virus-free. www.avas

It takes the same, standard Crosley distributor. There is an adapter, to adapt the distributor to the crankcase. The advantage of the large hole is, it allows the distributor gear to pass thru the cra

Jeff, You will probably have a very hard time, finding a VC oil bath air cleaner, for a Carter carb. The ones for Tillotsons are rare enough. There are SHORTER that the ones used on the CDs. I all of

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
