NEW CHEVROLET REPLACEMENT PARTS
Last Update: 19 September, 2008
======= COOLING SYSTEM PARTS =======
1929 Heat Indicator (sending unit in cylinder head). An exception to the rule that we only sell parts which we manufacture: these temperature sensing units are original equipment (NOS). Most of the units originally installed in the front of the 1929 cylinder heads have badly corroded threads or simply no longer work. These are factory fresh! p/n 354903 … $58.50
1929-1932 Water Pump Rotor Baffle. The original 1929 baffle was made of steel and normally has rusted through. In 1930, GM began using brass baffles. This brass baffle is an exact replacement. p/n 835815 … $15.00
1929-1934 Radiator Outlet Pipe. A replacement for the steel elbow connecting the radiator hoses from the water pump to the radiator. These elbows are made of a heavier gage steel than the originals and have a baked black enamel coating for added resistance to corrosion. p/n 354564 … $13.05
======= ENGINE PARTS =======

p/n C&P836815BB ……………………………….............................................. $121.50
1929-1931 Rocker Arm Oil Wicks (set of 12). These wicks transmit oil from the rocker arm shaft to the socket on the push rod end. Most rebuilt engines have left these out, endangering both the push rod ends and the adjustment screws. Identical to the original felt wicks. p/n 835677 … $10.50
1929-1931 Rocker Arm Oiler and Silencer Pad. Not an original part but one offered by Victor and most other gasket manufacturers as both an assurance of adequate oiling of the top end and also to help minimize top end noise. No modification necessary. p/n V48040 … $15.00
1928 Valve Push Rods & Push Rod Ends (set of 8 of each). These are exactly as the original rods in appearance, but are induction heat treated on the ends (about ¾”) to give longer life. The push rod ends are case hardened. p/n 348567 & 327643 … $69.75
1929-1930 Valve Push Rods & Push Rod Ends (set of 12 of each). These rods are exactly as the original rods in appearance, but are induction heat treated on the ends (about ¾”) to give longer life. The push rod ends are case hardened as were the originals. p/n 836393 & 835840 … $84.00
1929-1934 Valve Spring Caps & Valve Stem Keys (set of 12 of each). Identical to the originals. Replaces originals which have enlarged valve stem holes in the caps and edge wear on the keys. p/n 836117 & 836120 … $43.50
1929-1933 Valve Adjustment Screws & Locking Nuts (set of 12 of each). Most of the original adjusting screws show failure of the threads, often galling in the locking nuts. Sometimes the nuts cannot be removed at all. These screws are case hardened to give strength to the threads and hardness to the ends which contact the push rod sockets. Identical to the originals. p/n 835664 … $43.50
1929-1954 Connecting Rod Shims (set of 12). These four-ply laminated brass shims of 0.002 in./ply are essentially identical to the original shims but are plastic laminated to facilitate separation. Packaged in full engine sets. p/n 364322 … $13.50
1932-1936 Main Bearing Shims (set of 2 each for Front, Center and Rear Main Bearings). These NOS (New Old-Stock) laminated brass shims of 0.003 in./ply are packaged in full engine sets. p/n 363706, 364402 & 363708 … $21.00
1927-1928 Oil Pump (gear type). These pumps have a capacity many times that of the original vane pumps. This is an exact duplicate of the gear pump which General Motors offered in the 1940’s for the early 6 cylinder engines. These pumps may require modification of the oil lines due to greatly increased oil flow. The installation of a Billy Possum oil screen & cover assembly is also required (not included, see 1927-1934 Oil Pump Screen & Cover Assembly below). Replaces p/n 360954 … $259.50
1929 Oil Pump (gear type). These pumps have a capacity many times that of the original vane pumps and, except for a new oil pipe from pump to block, require no modification to the engine. Just drop the pan and install the pump. This is an exact duplicate of the gear pump which General Motors offered in the 1940’s for these early 6 cylinder engines. (Even GM realized the inadequacy of the original vane pumps!) These pumps do require the installation of a gear type oil pump screen assembly (not included - see 1927-1934 Oil Pump Screen & Cover Assembly below).
Our own experience using this pump shows that a stock engine idles at about 10 psi and runs highway speeds (55 mph) at between 25 and 30 psi when hot, using 30 wt. oil. p/n 604506 … $259.50
1930-1932 Oil Pump (gear type). These pumps have a capacity many times that of the original pumps and, except for a new oil pipe from pump to block, require no modification to the engine.

1933-1934 Oil Pump (gear type). These pumps have a capacity many times that of the original pumps and, except for a new oil pipe from pump to block, require no modification to the engine. Just drop the pan and install the pump. This is an exact duplicate of the gear pump which General Motors offered in the 1940’s for these early 6 cylinder engines. (Even GM realized the inadequacy of the original vane pumps!) These pumps do require the installation of a gear type oil pump screen assembly (not included - see 1927-1934 Oil Pump Screen & Cover Assembly below). p/n 604508 … $259.50
1927-1934 Oil Pump Screen & Cover Assembly. The investment cast covers are designed to allow these assemblies to be used with all models of the Original Billy Possum Brand gear type oil pumps, including the 4 cylinder pumps, where the smaller engine pan precludes the use of the original type screen cover. The screen and associated hardware are exact duplicates to the originals. p/n C&P838458, C&P838457, 838803, 838452 & associated hardware ... $60.00
1927-1939 Oil Pump Suction Tube (for Gear Type Oil Pump). An exact replacement for the original suction tube on early gear-type oil pumps. p/n 838452 … $3.90
1929-1936 Copper Asbestos Gasket (for the oil distributor valve bolt). When replacing the oil distributor valve a new copper asbestos gasket should be used. p/n 105451 ... $0.99
1923-1931 Copper Asbestos Gasket (for the main bearing oil line clip screws). A replacement gasket under the head of the screws which pass through the crankcase and hold the front and rear main bearing oil line clips in place. Two required per engine. p/n 105450 … $1.20 each
1925-1962 Copper Asbestos Gasket An original type copper clad gasket for the oil pan plug. p/n 344690 … $1.20 each
======= TRANSMISSION PARTS =======
1925-1931 Transmission Main Drive Bearing Retainer (with elastomer seal). This aluminum part remedies the problem of warp in the original pot-metal retainer and the elastomer seal prevents grease from leaking out of the front of the transmission. p/n 590409A … $54.00
Caution: Some transmission main drive shafts have a bleed hole forward of the main drive bearing. This hole appears to be somewhat random in its location. If the hole is present and located such that any part of it is within the range of 7/16" to 1/2" from the face of the main drive bearing, it is not recommended to use this retainer with seal.
1923-1931 Transmission Rebuild Kit. Due to bushing and shaft wear the gears in the transmission are allowed to move away from each other, increasing the load on the gears and causing excessive noise. This kit contains a hardened and ground countershaft and reverse idler shaft, countershaft bushings, reverse idler bushings and the main drive gear bushing. The expansion plug and cotter pins required for assembly are also included. All parts are identical to the originals but with sintered bronze bushings for long life. p/n 328671, 328662, 590236, 590199, 590412, 117923 and related cotter pins … $99.00
======= DRIVE LINE PARTS =======
1925-1929 Rear Axle (tempered chrome-moly). These axles are machined from tempered aircraft alloy steel but appear essentially identical to the original axles.

If the seal fails, the grease passes through the bearing and through the outer seal (only felt) onto the rear brake drum. These assemblies are identical to the originals except they have modern elastomer seals pressed in. These seals have become one of our best selling parts. p/n 344282 … $32.25
1925-1928 Propeller Shaft (tempered chrome-moly). An exact replacement for another one of GM’s fast selling parts. These early drive shafts usually break near the spline at the front end of the shaft. Also, most are found with substantial wear to the bushing area adjacent to the splines. Our Billy Possum Brand shafts are made of tempered aircraft alloy steel for long life. p/n 343871 ... 312.75
1929 Propeller Shaft (tempered chrome-moly). An exact replacement for another one of GM’s fast selling parts. These early drive shafts usually break near the spline at the front end of the shaft.

1929-1933 U-Joint Ball Packing (Slip Seal). These early Chevrolets are notorious leakers. This elastomer O-ring seal, which replaces the original cork, will help prevent transmission grease from leaking out of the U-joint enclosure. Replaces p/n 348132 … $4.50
======= BRAKE PARTS =======
1928-1929 Front Brake Cam Lever Adjusting Nut and Collar (set of two adjusting nuts, two collars and two check nuts). Replaces the original pot-metal front brake collars which, when corroded, swell up and bind at the swivel points. Adjusting the brakes then bends the adjusting rods - a very common condition which most 1928 and 1929 cars suffer from. These aluminum parts are stronger and will not bind up. The aluminum collars as well as the brass adjusting nuts and check nuts appear exactly as the originals. p/n 352243 & 352242 … $51.00
1929 Rear Service Brake Spring Set (4 tapered springs, 2 cylindrical springs). Original Chevrolet rear springs for the external service brakes were made of carbon steel and few have survived the exposure to the elements. Most are rusted and many are broken. These springs are stainless steel and will last as long as the car does. p/n 355904 &355912 … $26.25
======= CHASSIS PARTS =======
1925-1933 Pedal Bushings (set of 2). Worn pedal bushings cause side motion of the brake and clutch pedals, allowing the pedals to scrape against the metal flashing on the floor boards. A new set can make an amazing improvement to the pedal operation. p/n 351424 … $9.00
1926-1930 Brake and Clutch Pedal Shaft Kit. (including tools to remove old shaft). A tempered and ground chrome-moly shaft far superior to the original.

1925-1934 Heavy Duty Bendix Drive Spring (for heavy duty drive type ONLY) (includes both bolts and 2 lock washers required for installation) Although we stock this spring as a service to our customers, we expect few will ever have to be replaced. p/n C&P809690A … $30.00
1925-1934 Bendix Drive Spring (for original type drive). These are NOS (new old stock) springs from a sizable hoard offered to us from one of our customers. p/n 809690 … $15.00
======= CARBURETOR & FUEL PUMP PARTS =======
1929-1931 Carburetor Venturi & Choke Cone Set. The original Carter venturi and choke cone were made of pot-metal.

**********************************
THE BIRTH OF BILLY POSSUM
It all started in 1981 when Bill saw an ad for a 1929 Chevy sedan in Missouri. After an eventful trip towing the car to Los Angeles, Mike got the bug and found a 1930 Chevy Club Sedan in Minneapolis. The car was purchased after a drive around the block and, several months later, Mike, Bill and Bill’s 14-year-old son John flew to Minneapolis and drove the car home (2,100 miles) - more adventure than a lot of people have in a lifetime.
Right away you get the idea that these guys like to drive their cars. Trips to the Gold Country, mid-Oregon, Reno and Carson City, Nevada (numerous times) and across the Sierras became routine. Altogether, Mike and Bill have put over 70,000 miles on their two cars! The most recent trips, checking out new “Billy Possum” axles and drive shafts, were to Northern California, Nevada, San Francisco and the Central Valley, crossing the Sierras twice and doing the “Grapevine” for good measure.
But, where to get the parts to keep these cars running - and running reliably and comfortably? First a set of brake parts to replace the pot-metal ones on the ’29. Then rocker arm shaft and bushing sets, followed by other top-end parts like push rods and valve caps. And a few other parts like transmission front bearing retainers and some carburetor parts (mostly replacing original pot-metal parts) have been produced as the need arose.
Finally the C&P boys could do their repairs almost as if they were working in a Chevrolet agency’s service section in the 1930’s. “That’s the way early Chevy owners should be able to do things,” says Bill. “The engines not only look great on the inside, but run as they should, the way GM made them to run.
Will we see YOU “on the road again?”
By the way, there’s an old children’s story about a mother possum who had three children. They all looked alike so they were all named “Billy.” But they each had very different personalities. Our “Billy Possum” was the one who hoped the car would break so he could fix it.
Proudly made in the U.S.A.
