Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

  Would someone by chance happen to have a picture of what the felt washer is supposed to look like for the oil pump pick-up where the strainer meets the actual pump?  All I am finding online are rubber O-rings.  Greatly appreciated.

From recollection it is a square profile, and is felt so that the pickup can move up and down, as these were floating up until 1960.

An "O" Ring could turn it into a solid pickup.

This is what it looks like on the oil pickup.  This is the old felt washer—unfortunately, I don't have a picture with the new washer installed.
