  1. Leo B started following Master cylinder and cover / breathing (vents)
  2. Leo B
    I came to the conclusion that the lid/cover should not breathe. This way the liquid does not absorb moisture. Under and overpressure remain between the seal and the lid. A very small amount of air may leak between the cover and the screw.

    Please explain. How master cylinder and ventilation works in its cover? Edit: I understand that when the fluid level changes during use, there must be breathing in the fluid space of the master cylinder. As I understand it, that's why there are also holes (vents) in the gasket. How about the cover?

    Hi, I have used now 4 years this. Still strong and very similar to original one. You can use Willard sticker instead of CAT. Studebaker Int. sells the sticker. https://parts.cat.com/en/catcorp/11R-2250

    About the oil color https://riautomotive.net/dark-brown-transmission-fluid-needs-to-be-changed-right-away/ Since you can't see the color on the dipstick, you either check by sucking a sample, by wiping the stick on a white cloth or change it regularly. In my experience, that 5000 miles could be a good limit - I think. The oil is used so little that this is not a cost issue. If you change the oil on time, I think you don't need to flush the entire oil chamber.

    Thanks for reminding to change the oil. 👍 I have a rebuilt Paxton and the seller said TYPE-F ONLY - nothing else. This has about 5000 miles and three years. The oil is not completely black and there are no visible particles in it. The color has darkened from red.

    Or the car was not import to Milan by the buyer's order. The distributor (Compagnia Generale Auto) has ordered two cars and the sale of the grey one has taken time.

    Leo, I just bought the same distributor and ran into this problem: The base of the distributor, above where the shaft descends into the engine, is about three times the thickness of the original. This means that the original hold-down device is unable to snug up to the distributor, where it can be bolted down to hold the distributor in place.

    Nostalgic Motorcars says no one's ever called about this issue before.

    How did you solve it? Can you provide a photo?

    Thanks much.
    Tom
