I have a couple extra pumps . If you get me a pic and the three part number top , bottom and arm . i check my stock .

Now tha'ts how mine is on my 31 engine . It shown that way on my book . I did understand about the tee for air /vac , I was referring to pump relation left -right . not tee .  . I do not know what difference internally are on ours .
I did see an explanation about reason for bowl on bottom ,once . I seem to remember to prevent floating dirt from getting to screen  .

 BOI is Book Of Instruction  ie. owners manual . Shows diagrams of systems and pics of components . On looking up your 29-29 the way you have infeed run matches . However it changed in 30 or 31 to going under and up to pump . Perhaps they saw this as a problem . I did see older 28-29 with the fuel vacuum tee tap that had line run under and up like mine . Wonder if a service bulletin was ever put out for such . I'll look for pics again .

I do not think so . the left is in from oilpan the right is out back to engine then across to pressure regulator .  Do you have a pic in your BOI .

Hello Chet ,  One thing that struck me a odd when I first looked at this pic you posted . Was the routing of the pump infeed . the fact the the copper tube causes a bubble in the system by going higher then pump for so long . I then checked my BOI . Mine is run and shown run below; coming up left side . Note i have same engine as celledge's 30U .  This would require a lot less pull to prime .

May want to go over your mechanical pump and make sure it has correct arm on it . Many were rebuild and some after market companies bought old stock and refurbed for newer motors . Also any chance you got it on wrong side of cam ?

Looks good Chet . I think you did not have much choice on methods . Only option was maybe type of sealant and  for every good to be said for one, you'll find two bad's . They would not have had urethane  or rtv or butyl , so must have used something petroleum based mastic / tar . The main thing is your backing up for sag and it looks good and keeps water out .
  Sounds like your confident in all those parameters .

I am not sure on how it hard exposed to sunlight . We use it underground to seal concert vaults . But on window I've seen it must skin over for cleaning . I do not think it ever hardens , maybe firms .
  How was it working with ?  Seem to have molded in nice . And what did you come up with to back up holding it in position .?  Did you use something on the clips ?

On my type '31-'32 trim was told all three sides same . It looks like from remnants it was riveted to trim and maybe thur to board edge .
#162
Thanks , tha'ts what another said . It was beaded oil cloth type welt . I found some matte black gaff tape in discount store today figure to rap it around some binder twine . May have to double .
#163
     Hello all . Got some remnants of running board trim that where broke and missing parts ,to put back on my '31 . I've repaired the splits an added pieces on edges of the aluminum rb trim . Had to totally make new short ends and 6" of back angle . Used round wood form to reshape front trim . I noticed pieces of webbing riveted to end pieces .  What should be between end and back to steel ? Was it web even to top or a beaded trim ?
