Hi, I know this may be a stretch but I'm looking for the bracket that mounted to the transmission mounts for this model. Any help/comments are appreciated. Thanks

No haven't tried McMaster Carr. the wall thickness of any bushing could only be .001-.002 over the 3/8inch diameter of the rod based on the opening of the column shaft to make it work. Does that sound right?

Hello I'm trying to get my horn to work. I have a banjo type wheel with a horn ring. I need to isolate the throttle rod from the steering column to prevent a constant ground. Does anyone know where to source what I believe must be a very thin plastic, nylon bushing(s) that would wrap around the rod ...

Hi does anyone know where I can source a13x16 or 17 prop? Currently running a 13x 15. Thanks

Ok pulled the water pump and sure enough there was a puddle of water right where it bolts to the block. Hope this is the cure! Thanks everyone for your help.

Thank Jim G for the details. Seems I'm heading I hope for a water pump rebuild. Seems the other symptoms you have outlined are not happening as the engine is running fine. I dread if I had those pinholes... Fingers crossed. Thanks everyone for your comments.

So do you think it's the seal within the water pump that could be bad letting water into the crankcase?

I meant the water pump is leaking (puking)a little out of the weep hole but not much. Could it be its seal that's bad as one of the causes?

Hi I have water in my oil and have so far pulled the head to check for cracks in head and block. All looks good. Then pressure tested the oil cooler and even by passed it and still same results. I have been given advise on two more areas to look at- the water pump seal and a possible cracked exhaust...

Thx Jim!

Hi can someone advise point gap, dwell and spark plug gap for this engine? Thanks

Thanks Bill

Jim, I'll email you some photos.

Hi I just saved this engine from heading the scrap heap by a friend of mine. The serial number is 2910652 and I am just trying to see what year it was manufactured? If anyone has an idea, please let me know. Thanks

Perfecto! Thanks so much Don!

Phil ,FYI left you my contact info on a PM here on the forum and via my hotmail account;pegjr. Thanks Peter

Hi Phil I am looking for the same diameter pipe 2 3/4 " for my 36 CC 19 ft runabout with a Chrysler engine. If you have any more of that pipe I would be interested. thanks Peter.

Don or Paul , Can either of you post a picture of the mounting bracket again? It seems the one Don posted is no longer available. Im trying to mount the same type horn in my 36 CC Deluxe Runabout. Might as well get it right! Thanks

Hi I have 3 quarts of this paint available for $25.00 each plus shipping.Bought the paint this fall and decided on a differnt color. If any one is interested please PM me @ [email protected]. thanks

Just gettng back on this subject of the distributor # which is an autolite 1GW 4148A. Can anyone tell me where to purchase points, rotor,condensor,cap? Also would like to know gap and dwell angle if anyone knows? Also what would be the proper period sparkplug?

thanks for your responses! Gotta love this forum!

Hi does anyone have pictures of the drag clip and was it available in the prewar runabouts? If so where can you purchase one?

Hi does anyone know what the dwell angle of the points should be? Also any idea of timing for this motor?

Hi Found the mention of the L in the 36-37 Master parts book. You are right it looks like it was offered for the 37 models. Mine, a 516 model would have had a Chrysler Crown but that is long gone.

Hi Brian, I will have to check the booklet copy I have at home tonight. I thought it was one of the sales brochures..again I have a copy. Nice to know that the L shares many parts in common with the M. Its just funny its never really mentioned in many publications.

Hi can someone confirm the proper flooring mats and where I can buy them? Also is there any hardware that holds them in place ? If so what,where and how many? thanks

Hi I dont have the distributor number and will get it off the unit this weekend. As for the Hercules block series I believe its a QXD.In the runabout specification sheets and or option sheets I have the L is mentioned as an option engine in the 1936 specifications book.

Seems this engine is a litle obscure and I dont see alot of technical data on it such as for torque specs,etc. Mine has a auto lite distributor and I was wondering if anyone can advise where I can buy the ignition parts for it?

thanks Bill!

Hi can anyone advise where to obtain the proper floor covering? Also is there any hardware that was used to hold it in place? If so where would they be located?

Hi I found a source for obtaining a Willard battery but they dont seem to carry the period cables. Anyone know a source for these?
