The push rod ends are case hardened. Original Chevrolet rear springs for the external service brakes were made of carbon steel and few have survived the exposure to the elements. A bushing dowel is included. These tail lights are far brighter than the original incandescent bulbs yet draw less current which provides longer life! Altogether, Mike and Bill have put about 100,000 miles on their two cars and that continues to this day! A new lock nut is required to insure that the pinion thrust bearing is locked securely to the drive shaft. Unlike the original, the part is powder coated in gloss black All 1929-1930 Chevy crank hole covers were painted gloss black. These seals prevent the differential grease from reaching the axle outer bearing.
Carefully designed to replace the existing oil distributor valve, this fixture fits snugly just forward of the carburetor. Identical to the original bushing but with a sintered bronze bushing for long life. These seals have become one of our best selling parts. Don't jeopardize your investment by using the old vane pump and no oil filter. Only brass rivets are used to fasten the no-lead, asbestos-free linings to the disc. These elbows differ from the early 6 cylinder models and are made exactly as the originals except for the use of heavier gage steel than the originals.
The shaft is drilled and tapped for a grease fitting making lubrication of the pedals as easy as servicing any of the other chassis grease fittings. Replace the old, damaged manifold to muffler header pipe brass nuts with these new replacements. It is not a drop in solution but with some work, a good solution. And, an early 216 from 1936 to 1953 would require a lot of modifications to make it work in a 1929? A modern elastomer seal which exactly replaces the original cork and steel washers. As a Ford owner I find it odd that I have recently acquired an all original 1929 Chevrolet Coupe complete with an open air 'Rumble' seat in the rear. Replaces originals which have fatigued or lost their original length or spring rate. In 1929 this car's stylish looks and bigger engine outsold Ford's new A Model head to head and helped Chevy overtake Ford's massive lead as the top selling vehicle in 1929.
The shaft is drilled and tapped for a grease fitting making lubrication of the pedals as simple as servicing any of the other chassis grease fittings. Although a spanner wrench should be used, typically the old nuts have been damaged by the use of a chisel to install them. Replaces the original pot-metal front brake collars which, when corroded, swell up and bind at the swivel points. Here is another part that we underestimated the demand for. Badly worn pilot bushings may cause noise, not only with the transmission main input shaft but also with the wobble of the disc itself.
Even General Motors eventually upgraded the oil pumps for these early 6 cylinder engines to gear-type pumps. These are New Old Stock parts. Currently our stock has been replenished by our fifth run of these parts. Most are rusted and many are broken. These heavy duty starter drives differ only slightly from the original in that they have a spring that is less likely to break. The 216 engine was introduced in 1936, and the same basic block design continued through 1953 with several modifications and different displacements. The original Carter venturi and choke cone were made of pot-metal.
Replacement of used nut locks is essential. This elastomer O-ring seal, which replaces the original cork, will help prevent transmission grease from leaking out of the U-joint enclosure. These case hardened tappets are ground with a shallow radius on the bottom to cause rotation, essential to long tappet life. These axles appear essentially identical to the original ones but are machined from tempered aircraft alloy steel. Many venturis are jammed in the carburetor throat. The expansion plug and cotter pins required for assembly are also included.
In 1954, a redesigned engine was introduced with a different oiling system and 235 cubic inches. I would suggest reading through the Tech Tips on this. A replacement for worn axle keys. All modern cars use full-flow filters to prolong engine life. The push rod ends are case hardened as were the originals.
And, an early 216 from 1936 to 1953 would require a lot of modifications to make it work in a 1929? A tempered and ground chrome-moly shaft far superior to the original. These pumps have a capacity many times that of the original vane pumps and, except for a new oil pipe from pump to block, require no modification to the engine. Donations are used to help with acquiring manuals and materials. Although a spanner wrench should be used, typically the old nuts have been damaged by the use of a chisel to install them. It was used through about 1933, along with a 181 cubic inch model and a 207 through 1935.
Replace those nicked, rounded and otherwise unsightly bowl nuts with a new part. These aluminum parts will give outstanding service. This hole appears to be somewhat random in its location. Identical to the original Carter brass bowl nut. There are members on here that have updated to a 216 or 235 and been happy with the result. Exact replacement for the nut that secures the bearing to the axle. Instead of techinical inovation and producing the same body style every year, Chevy used less inovation and consentrated on color and body style.
