According to my Local NAPA, fuel pump for 251 flat head are obsolete. I guess I'll just go with electric. Got my carb kit, one wire alternator, had to order the fuel pump, should have that Monday. Weather guys are saying in 7 days it looks like a warming trend, might get something done on the ol' girl

NAPA #588

[Cranman]

If you can\t get it from NAPA, try another Dodge part source and ask for a pump for a 1965 Dodge WM300. If you ask for 1940's pump they assume it is not available.

[the old trucker]

   Here's a couple of places to try.
 
        Vintage Power Wagon. (not sure of address)

        Roberts Motor Parts.  ( in Mass.)

  Oldsledz may have their ph. numbers.
   
   Here's another,

Too bad the old girl isn't running, got 2 feet of snow since last evening and its still coming. I'll bet Old Trucker is getting it also

[the old trucker]

   10/4 on the SNOW.... It's been coming down for 4 hrs. now. Good thing there's no wind with it...      OT.

No wind? Boston had a 91 mph gust, we had them in the 70s here in Maine. Ended up with about 2 ft here but So. Maine had as much as 3 ft.

[the old trucker]

   We have about 18" & the wind has started to pick up. No sense blowing snow yet...

                                                                                                                        OT.

Hey folks....earlier in this thread it was mentioned that there was distributors in the Edmonton area for the aluminum rims.   Could someone please supply a name and contact number if possible.  Thanks

[the old trucker]

  Look up General Discussions. click on    "New Parts Suppliers List". Look for Shaver & Sons. I heard they were thinking about selling them. All their contact info is there...

                                                                                                OT.

Just installed the first one on a Narrow Gauge. Clearly a more vertical profile, this tire does not touch the inside edge of the track. Centres easily in the cleat cup.
There is 3/8"s to 1/2" clearance on both sides. All the other Dunlops appear to rubbing slightly.
Rated at 70 psi, Dunlops are rated at 35 psi and is usually where I run them.
I think a less jarring softer ride in loaded conditions, they do need regular air pressure checks.
I have the new rim, waiting on an excluder retrofit.

[Jbuck]

Thanks OT......but I would still like to find the name of an Edmonton distributor...(big savings on shipping=more money to buy goodies for bombardier)

[the old trucker]

  I think there is a place down south that sell them, but that's even further away for shipping. Plus the time you deal with customs & duty, it all adds up.
                                                                                        OT.

Been too cold to do anything outside on the R12, a neighbor of mine is a glass guy, the windshield is falling out and has been butchered to keep it in place. I got him to come over and he is getting the proper rubber gasket material, hopefully next weekend he'll be over to put it in. I told him to wait till its warmer, supposed to be 7 tonight so.... Glass breaks easy when its cold. Can't wait to get that fixed so I can take the tarp off. I have all the tune up parts including 12v one wire alt. and 12 v fuel pump. One weekend and I think I can get it running but its got be warm
