‘36 coupe dovetail
Did all ‘36 five window coupes come with passenger side female dovetails?
Mine doesn’t have one and it’s missing the piece inside the B pillar that the dovetail goes into.

1936 gauge post nuts
Does anyone know what SAE threads are on the posts that hold the gauges into the back of the dash?
There are 7 altogether and my dash didn’t come with the nuts.
Every nut I tried doesn’t fit.

I'd like to put a generator mounted 6 blade fan on my '32, I've heard one from a 8N or 9N tractor would work.

Or is there a...

Re: Flathead Vacuum Question
Yes, we are pretty high up here in Denver and I do have dual carbs on the Edmunds intake.

What year?
I just bought this T touring half with an abbreviated pickup bed.
I think it's like a 1919 to 1922 but I'm not 100% positive.

Re: driveshaft bearing and seal
The right way to do this is with a KR Wilson tool made for pulling the sleeve out. I know a restorer who did mine, it literally pulled the sleeve out and only took a few minutes.
