Still working on this; what is an "oil cooled coil"? None of the pontiac literature I have talks about a coil except on the firewall. What is it doing inline...
You called it a fuel pump. I took your word for it as I was unable to see anything leading up to it. So it looks like a fuel filter but if it has electic wires...

Sounds exciting. Re the starter. Does it have a pedal to start or does it have a switch on the dash? If it has a coil solenoid on the starter then they can get...
Has anyone ever seen NOS or good tail light bezels available for a 48? For some reason I cannot seem to find them anywhere... I would get mine replated but...

Thats right. Some later models use round taillight bezels but were flat on the back, I think those were from 1949-1952, right? Part numbers are stamped on...
Hello, There is a pedal on the floor directly above the button. My system is in the middle of a switch to 12volts. The starter is still the 6volt. Which I...

No wonder mine are so bad... The bezels are by far the worst part on my car. Well, that and the center hood molding, the rest are fine. That would be...
I will look into the prospect of 48 tail light bodies. I expect that they could be cut from aluminium castings. Whether we could afford them is another matter....
I was chatting with Kevin the other day, who saw pics of my car and he said "you have a rear wiper, that's pretty rare". It didn't really dawn on me till I...
