Trevor some things to check on your Cord.
Are the wheels held on by nuts or bolts? If nuts then the hubs have been upgraded and probably to steel. If they are short bolts you may still have the original cast wheels hubs which are fragile.
What diameter are the suspension bolts that pass through the traverse spring and up through the trailing arms. The originals had from memory 1/2" threads on the ends .................... these are dangerous. The remedy is to replace them with 3/4" high tensile bolts.

I found the top half of my carburettor was warped slightly allowing it to suck air on the firewall side. See the attached picture, the gap was around 0.010". Some careful machining straightened things up.

My air filter had been bashed in to allow for a bigger generator in the dim past consequently the opening cut was made close to the inlet end where the copper mesh is located.
Eventually the damaged case was completely repaired making it look as good as new.

The Accessory Catalogue for Cords listed one at $15.00 although I have never seen an original one even when visiting Auburn.
It is a good idea to modify the standard air filter to take replacement dry paper filter cartridges. It involves quite a bit of work to cut open the case and remove the original baffles however it all helps to protect the engine .
I have attached the newsletter article showing how to modify the air cleaner. I cut mine at the other end for convenience.

This seems to be difficult to find, does anyone have a extra one they would let go of or know where I might find one?
Any help would be greatly appreciated I would love to get my dad out on the road as soon as the weather breaks.
