Re: [FWDLK] '58 Suburban



Hi Mark, recent emails on the list covered electrical shrink tube repairs that work very well on Powerflite, Torqueflite cables. Mine using a heavy duty 3M shrink tube has lasted ten years. Dick W. 57 Fury clone, the other red one!

I haven't posted here much in the last couple of years, but I met many have you in Tulsa, and I still have my '57 Fury.

Now I have a '58 Suburban with a flathead 6 in it that is about ready to hit the road except for two problems.

I need a 1 barrel air cleaner and can't find any in my stash of parts. Anyone have one out there that they could sell?

The other problem is a mysterious transmission leak that the standard stop leak products don't seem to help. It appears the leakage is on the cabling, too. I know that sounds kind of vague, but I'm hoping somebody out there had a similar problem and figured out how to fix it.

Thanks

Here’s a fairly simple explanation of the process and theory:

  Also, are you polarizing the regulator when you replace it or hook up a new battery?  It only takes a second with a jumper wire.
 
There is no such thing as “polarizing” a regulator; the part that is being polarized is the generator.  It has steel screws to hold the field coils, and while the center coil hold-downs are iron (which is not magnetic), those screws are steel, and they will become the magnets to create the intial energy to get the system working.
