Craig you are in good company. Not 1 in 100 have probably ever seen the rear wheel properly sealed. The rear hub takes the same seal as the front wheel (felt). There is a reason the hub is machined the way it is... http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/822076/911446.html?1541545002 Call it a seal, ca...

I just put one on for my dad. Not because he is "lazy", but because he is 90.

Cleaner than the rusted up stuff you find on Flea Market tables. Excellent bowl, (older) modern float material which appears to have never seen fuel, good pick-up tube, good looking main jet.

Tim Very sorry for the loss of your friend. With all due respect, after a quick search, the only person who has used the word "hoax" is yourself.

Steve the only thing I think anyone could discern from your photo is that it was cut from old-growth wood with super small growth rings. Old hickory is much different than new hickory.

Duey there used to be another group of people who were limited to where they could go or do in certain instances. In 1964 that was mostly addressed via the Civil Rights Act.

Scott_Conger

Thanks Stan

I was pretty sure you had one, and was pretty sure it had a carb on it! Unfortunately, not in the market for a third one...just the manifold.

Stay warm...it is -8 here but at least has stopped snowing.

Scott_Conger

I would take one, please. Thank you.
Am not by a phone right now...My information should be in your files or you may contact me later.

thanks again

Hopefully your seats are vinyl. If anyone ever attempts to steal your car and step on the boat horn, you will be glad they're vinyl.

Scott_Conger

Scott_Conger

This manifold has an offset to push the carb out toward the frame, and has a built-in bell-crank to operate the throttle.

Thank you for looking, and please send me an email if you think you can help.

There is no need to guess. The old term "running fit" has been defined in modern engineering terminology to include a multiple number of classes of fit for any number of environmental conditions. To be sure, a .002 running fit in 1909 did not mean ".002 on each side of the bearing", although, in pra...

Buyer's fees have been a regular fixture of many if not most auctions for the last 50 years. The seller pays a fee; the buyer pays a fee.

James, I'm going to give a rambling discussion in the absence of having that article in front of me to answer your specific question. NH's came with 2 kinds of floats.

All settings remain as NH/Ford specified with respect to float level setting: same measurements, same methodology.

For Bill and others: it is a direct drop in replacement for whatever valve is in your NH right now.

Scott_Conger

Many of you have heard of these valves. What you've never seen is why they perform so well on long hard hills or at higher speeds. Here is a common commercial valve on the left, used in many NH rebuilds, and to the right, a Full Flow Float Valve...the through-put is not just a little more, it is 2X ...

Thanks Dan, and am glad to hear it helped your friend's car. I never get tired of hearing stories like that. With through-put of fuel a good 50%+ over stock modern valves, this thing makes rebuilds perform like they should (and did when new). And you're right...I nearly always heat 'em first to get ...

Thank you Stan. Your encouragement is appreciated. The handle is hexagonal and fits a drill chuck in a drill press.

If these are sintered bronze, they would not be the first that I've seen used in triple gears. And, if I am not mistaken, these were sold as the correct bushing by at least one supplier in the past.

They would be a poor choice indeed.

Scott_Conger

Appear to be Oilite - sintered bronze

sintered bronze, an engineered material, is not ductile and will fracture easily under the right conditions and is not engineered to take a severe load

cast bronze is ductile and will not fracture easily and is well suited to a pounding or severe load duty

in 2017, greehouse gas production in the US, per capita had dropped to the lowest level since 1964.

Hopefully, you'll find a kind benefactor. Given that 25% of it's price is just the material cost alone, for the remaining $ return, I wouldn't fire up a lathe for the work and time involved. The list price is a bargain. Hope your search is not a long one.

Scott_Conger

I should have been more clear as to what to look for: note how far ccw the timer housing is. It just lifts off when the bolt is loosened and the tension "finger" is released. I cannot fathom why it will not rotate fully for you but you may come to a better understanding soon.
