    Your doing a thorough job, attention to detail, you don't need luck!

    I think I should have been more clear on the types of head gaskets. The "shim" style I am referring to are made from solid pieces of copper or steel. They are not the MLS or modern "Multi Layer Steel" gaskets or laminated composites you usually see. You might refer to them as the real old school style. They are still used today and I use them in certain applications. KW sells a solid copper for the 134's. I use Copper Coat sealer on them.

    Thanks bmorgil!

    Regarding the starter, I sent a message to the eBay supplier and finally received this message.

    “Our starters are built with the heavy duty Facet Rubber Folo Thru design Drive. Facet designed the drive with 9 teeth to replace the early throw out spring style drive with 10 teeth. We do not have the old 10 tooth available, we only can get the 9 tooth which we have been selling for years without issue.”


    So, I guess I’ll give it a shot?!

    Also what she said! Badump bump!

    But anyway, I have another question…surprise surprise!
    I’m getting closer to firing this little engine which I was told is out of a ‘49 wagon. It came with an Auto-Lite distributor (ICW4189) which has a vacuum advance on it. I’ll assume I can just connect it here (see 2nd pic) for some intake manifold vacuum? Anyone have any pics of a stock routing for the connection? (I’m kind of a detail nerd.)
