General Discussion / Bugs and Pollen

The wife and I took out the 29 for a 22-mile run around the neighborhood.  The fuel pump seems to be working properly and the brake light switch that Touring29 recommended installed and worked just fine. 

Now if it doesn't rain this coming weekend, we will drive up to our nearby state park to meet up with our local car club.  Now to attend to the Bugs & Pollen collected on our venture.

Cheers, Chet...

I stand corrected.  :)

Grounding fixture which provides positive ground to the firewall from the engine. Attach to engine head and firewall.

If you have the same dome light as I do, there is a spring steel ring holding the glass in place.  You will need to gently pry the retainer out and then the glass will come out.  PS don't drop it.

Quote from: Russ T. Fender on April 13, 2023, 04:52:12 PMI have replaced the switch without having to bleed the brakes and there was no fluid loss. I always assumed that if the rest of the system is air tight no fluid would drip out and no air would get in.

Sounds good to me.  Thanks

General Discussion / Brake Light Switch

Tried to get out to a club meeting with the 29 but have been working on things since yesterday.  Long story for another time.

Question: I now have a bad brake light switch.  When I change this do I have to bleed the lines? Has anyone experienced a switch not working and after bleeding the lines the problem corrects itself?

I did however fix a chronic problem with the Vaccuum fuel pump.  The float would jam occasionally. Not anymore.   :)

Definitely a 29U. The 29 U engine started with serial number U999 and ran to U110000

The 28Q was a Maxwell engine.

Keep hot-rodders close they're a great source for original parts.

Nice save.  Chet

Quote from: Touring29 on March 22, 2023, 09:23:16 PMJust a thought... There is never going to be a lot of traffic on a forum just for the Model Q&U. There just aren't enough of them out there. If it would keep the forum alive could it be opened to more vehicles? Maybe pre 1940 or something. I just don't want this resource to go away.

No worries.  I've been a little busy these days lots of personal stuff but the forum is ok for now.  No worries!!

Thanks Chet...

General Discussion / Re: Radiator cap for Moto Meter

I understand your problem and it appears that you would have to do some major fabrication to accomplish the task.  If a 29 cap would fit on your car.  The wings on the old caps get broken off.  Maybe find one on eBay and grind the wings off.  Drill for the motor meter. Fit it to the car than have it re-chromed.

Just a thought.
