Took these pics a couple of weeks ago when the weather was a little nicer.  Hoping to go to a local car show this weekend.

Glad to hear Chet! Yes, the double clutching makes it much smoother and quieter. And your pressures are right about where mine are, 18-20 at idle and 40 at cruising speed. 35 to 38mph is the sweet range for mine. Anything in the 40-45mph range sounds a little strained lol.

Chet, you could also try swel-lock in the joints where the wood meets the felloe. When I fixed the few loose spokes I had on the rear left wheel from the inside out, that's what I did and they are extremely tight now. This might be good in addition to what you're considering with linseed oil.

Looks great Chet you should be proud!

Awesome 👍

 You do great work Chet!

Thanks Chet!  The new cleaner fits like a glove and attaches perfectly as you show in your photo.  For what it's worth, the one that was on there is slightly larger I'm trying to figure out what that one is supposed to go to.

All:

Several years ago I found an air cleaner on eBay and had to have it as it looked like the correct one (and still does).  Just this past week, another one showed up and claimed it was NOS for a '29 Plymouth...I had to have it for $25!  I can tell you I paid a lot more for the one I bought a while ago.  The new one has part #41931, which shows for a later '28 and Canadian built U.  The part number for a '29 U is 43665 and "non-standard equipment".  Right or wrong, I believe my car to be an early U regardless. 

The one on the car now has a different number that is not in the parts book.  The last four numbers appear to be 9231; I can't make out the first number, but may be a 2 or a 7.  So, I don't know what this one goes to although it looks correct.  However, it never quit just right when I got it and had to make an adapter for it to fit in the carb throat.  Is it a Chrysler? Desoto? Dodge? Chevy or what? 

I'm going to put on the "new" one assuming it will fit without any "adapter" needed.  Just curious what your thoughts are and which air cleaner you may be using.  I have the original Carter RT-08 carburetor.

Pics attached.

Great to hear! 

Looking forward to seeing it!

Not sure if correct or not, but if I had to pick one, it would be the top pic...Model A style.

Looks awesome Chet!  When is the anticipated completion date?

Finally was able to do a road test today. Although it's 98° outside with a feels like temperature of 107°,  I took the car for a short ride for about 10 miles. Car ran great, and everything is still nice, tight and quiet when it comes to the left rear spokes.  I believe this repair is much more solid than the one I did several years ago, so we'll have to see over time.

Very nice!
