1951 Pontiac Chieftain

A hot outdoor tap is a new one on me, why?

We've fitted a few usually to wash the dog in winter

Now that has logic.

Couple new bearings in place.

I love it when such boxes of bits arrive.
What I've learned in my post yank years is that such boxes for Euro tat always contain the wrong bits and/or when they call something a "kit" it's missing some vital component to carry out the job the kit is supposed to enable one to.

[PhilA]

Unfortunately someone managed to put the wrong part into this one.

I ordered a bunch of a la carte bearings, apparently they have a full rebuild kit but they neglected to mention this fact

I would just have ordered the damn kit, I was only 2 bearings short of what's in the kit.

There goes the weekend.

Have resolved, that's the bushing for the 1956 Pontiac they sent

Going to put a couple new ones for the front input shaft being as it's all apart

But, but, but, the '56 with the Strato-Streak V8 had the all-new Strato-Flight Power-Smooth Hydra-Matic, no?

[PhilA]

Yes, and all the innards were redesigned, too.
