The o rings are in the fittings on the fuel lines. The retaining clip, the roundish part clips around the line and the longer part with the teeth hangs over the end of the fitting, facing the filter.

Ok thank you

That'd be nice, but it looks like a couple have surfaced for sale within the last couple of years and they only brought between $500 and $1100. Besides, I'm keeping it for my collection. I wonder if these were installed on the concrete houses since several have surfaced now.

No I don't, sorry. I actually just eyeballed it off original pictures and drawing and made one close. Search Model AA tow truck on my channel and you can see it in action!

@@QuickSpeedShop thanks for your response. I went to check out your AA wrecker videos. The wrecker looks great! I have been drooling over these for about 10 years! All the ones I see for sale or a few thousand dollars and five states away. What is hard to figure out from photos is the size of the angle iron and the thickness of the metal plate on the original. Could you give me those measurements please?

I know, I looked up the history. It looks like there are a couple of these signs out there. Maybe they mounted them on the houses? I don't know. The Portland Cement Company went bankrupt in 1931. A portion of it lived on until 1942 pouring concrete roads.

It's a neat piece of Americana history.

Its pretty cool 👍

Some of the houses still stand, some are gone. They were supposed to be inexpensive alternatives, bit due to the labor involved they weren't.

Good luck 👍

No, I can't make it

Yes

I know. I spent a lot of time and money to save this one.

I love the GPS. It's a free one that works good.

Addressed in description and many times in comments. Thank you

Yeah, I need to trace down the wiring and figure out where to add one. Regular headlights should draw less than these Hella ones as well.

It came out good 👍

Happy 4th Ray!

Thanks 👍

Chrome don't get you home, but at least you'll look good on the side of the road.

Keep that cell phone flash light charged!!

Yes, broke up all the yellow. 👍

@@QuickSpeedShop True true. It was some yellow overload the chrome combined with "Curves and Straight" lines is Art Deco. That car was made in the Art Deco era.

I put the bumpers on this car. When I got it they had been filled. IMO '39-'40 Mercs should always have bumpers and done in early custom style

Yup 👍

Yes, everyone does. Also, everyone took it and applied it to all kinds of things in memes. That's literally why I did it here.

Spit shine .... That's what she meant.

Family show over here 😁

I bought it from Jegs.com. Sherman was the brand. Part # 455-562-45L

It's a T-10 4 speed. It's probably a wide ratio with something like 2.6 1st gear. That combined with 2.79 rear gears makes it not very conducive to low rpm cruising. I'm pulling out the 4 speed and swapping in a Powerglide for a couple of reasons, this is one of them.

It was winter outside

Still running over a year later...

@@QuickSpeedShop There is a flexible hex head screwdriver that fits through the window in the cap. Crank the engine without starting and adjust the dwell to 30 degrees. Oh you also need an old school dwell meter. I threw mine away. I had a 62 Buick LeSabre with 401, 2V. I once swapped the water pump and had the core returned to the auto parts in 20 minutes. I replaced the left motor mount in the parking lot using 2x4 and revving the engine. Rebuilt the carb. Replaced the fuel pump with an electric one. The transmission was rebuilt by a shop. The cam gear disintegrated at 55 mph because it was nylon coated. Checked the rotor and it was not turning when I cranked the engine. The engine had dual valve springs and pop up pistons. The engine started overheating after the cam gear issue. I tore the engine apart without finding the cause and sold it. Found out it had a bent push rod when the piston hit a valve. Paid $650 for it in 1969. I have the battle scars from that engine.
