Hi (again)
I recently received a used DRT 08 carb that had the lower part of the accelerator pump assembly removed and blocked with a brass fitting.  Is that unusual?  The reason I ask is my accelerator pump is leaking, i've tried the seal that comes with a rebuild kit to no avail, I've also tried other seals, just wondering is there going to be a noticeable difference (at parade speeds or at least low speeds) to the performance without an accelerator pump fitted?

Is there a carb rebuild guy who could rebuild it for me?

Is anyone able to tell me where this piece of wood goes?

Russ T Fender, did you receive my email?

That would be great!! Please email me directly.

Hey folks, looking for the windshield trim that goes on the 'A' pillar.  1930 30u.  Even a pic of what it would have looked like would be awesome to see if I can fabricate something.

Picture attached and circled in green where it needs to go, left and right are both needed.

Anyone had any luck sourcing after market 'modern' brake bleeders for their 30u?  Mine are the original type that I guess you removed the bolt and screwed in a bleeder that came in a tool kit, well I don't have a tool kit and brakes is something else on the list.

Ah. Perfect thank you. Yes I have that.

Sorry to sound silly, what's BOI?

New oil pressure

So I adjusted the oil pressure regulator, I removed the cap, it was filled with sludge and the flat head screw was turned all the way in, cleaned the sludge, and turned the flathead screw stop 3 full turns counter clockwise, slapped it back together, oil pressure now reads 40ish at cold on startup.

Hey Tom, do you have a link to that thread on how to adjust oil pressure?  Considering this is a "newly" built engine, would you suggest I leave it to run in for a while or adjust sooner rather than later, the only running the engine is going to be doing is not driving, but running in the garage for testing, so 'no load'.

Edit: Found the method for changing oil pressure in my book, i'll report back.

I should add I ran a compression test and got 60psi on all four. I'm at 5000ft ASL. Book calls for 68psi so I think I'm ok in that regard.
