The ebay listing says the seller ships "worldwide". To Poland is US$51.60.

Run a compression test. You might have an intake valve issue.

You can get a universal buzzer from Radio Shack or similar stores and adapt it to your car if you are reasonably good with electrical parts. I use one of those as a headlight warning alarm.

If...

Kutzner, your car looks great! It was well worth the 8 years of work you put into it. :thumbsup:

I did the same thing on my 52 Roadmaster. Kept the 6V starter and installed a 12V solenoid on it. I also changed from gas pedal to push button start. That was only to accommodate a non-stock...

Those rods are beyond beautiful! :thumbsup:
What alloy are they?

Ray

Thank you Ghosta. Your post is very helpful. I didn't know anything about the ZF automatic before now, but I figured it has to be better than the Roto-Hydramatic. I had a Jetfire with a Roto which...

Sorry, I forgot about the Land Rover aluminum V-8. It also has the same bolt pattern, so an automatic from one of those should work too.

Ray

The 61-63 aluminum V-8 had its own unique bolt pattern not shared with anything else except the 62-63 V-6. The only automatics which will bolt up without an adapter are the Buick Dual Path and the...

That's just the sequential vehicle assembly number at that plant. It means nothing as far as the engine is concerned. You would need to find the actual car with that VIN to learn any more about it....

You get points for actually troubleshooting, rather than just throwing parts at the problem like too many others here. :thumbsup:

Ray

Are we talking about a stock type distributor with points? If yes, do you have a dwell meter, and if yes, what is the dwell reading? If no dwell meter, what is your point gap?

If not a stock...

Welcome, and thank you for visiting us all the way from Sweden. That's a handsome looking car you have there. Give it the care it deserves and it will reward you with the enjoyment you are...

I agree with everything Jenz says, except first pull the valve cover before you try to turn the crank. You want to watch for any stuck valves that might bend a pushrod.

Ray

Those parts are way too sexy looking to install in an engine where nobody is going to see them. I would want to hang them on the shop wall instead! :1st:

Ray

Bendtsen's makes an adapter for the aluminum V-8. You will have to decide for yourself whether it is worth the price they are asking.

Chanceman, your situation appears to be somewhat different from Skylarkfan. I would especially like to know why your RH parking light doesn't work. The ground should be good if your front turn...

Skylarkfan, most of what you posted is consistent with an open ground on the RH parking light. The one part which puzzles me is "With parking lights on front right turn signal works properly". ...

Assuming this is a front wheel bearing you are talking about, replace the hub, not the drum. You can use your old drum on the new hub.

Ray

Skylarkfan, please tell me if I am correctly describing what you see for 1 & 2. Then describe what happens on 3 & 4

1. Parking lights off - Left turn signal works normally front & rear. Right...

Sounds like a possible bad ground on the RH parking light. As a check, turn on the parking lights only and post back describing what you see.

Ray

John, I'm glad to hear you were able to locate and fix the problem.

The basic design of the ignition system on these cars dates back over 100 years and is extremely simple, IMO. However, I...

Your engine came out of a 1950 Special and that makes it a 248.

Ray

Yes, I think it should be doable, because I have a car with sort of the reverse swap. Specifically, it is a 52 Roadmaster with factory PS which I converted to manual shift using the column parts...

It would look even better with a chrome dressed straight eight! :bgrin:
