Good to hear you got it done.

It's been a while so my memory is a bit hazy, but I think I was able to pick one up from my local auto supply. My cross reference indicates that 1936 through 1948 all use part number 655498 and that there are some cross references for it.

Hi

And leads on availablity of hose from engine to line going to oil pressure gauge or should I just go to McMaster Carr?

Thanks

Didn't need to pull fill tube

And you were correct 1-5/8"

Good find!

It's possible that the wires were rubbing against one another and wore the insulation down to the point where they started shorting and heating up.

Problem solved. Under the dash there were some wires melted together causing a short and causing a thermal breaker to make and break. After separating and replacing the wires the lights went back to normal. What I don't know is what caused this to happen in the first place. Currents are normal on everything now so I'll have to keep watch.

Ok- that's what I will do...as always-I appreciate your advice!!
Thank you!!

For the flexible hose between the frame and the fuel pump on my 33, I used a piece of modern fuel hose and some brass fittings.

Hi POC family-
I have a 39-100% stock- I am looking for the short gas line (that comes from the tank to the fuel pump.)
it is about 12" long Max-it is rubber from 1939-and has hardware on one end-that goes into a brass coupling-
does something like this still exist? This is 3/8" Line correct-?
or
I can cut off the line at the end- and use copper tubing gas line hose and a couple of hose clamps and make
the connection work to the inlet side of the fuel pump.
Once again...
Thank you!!

Oh and sorry yes flathead 6
