Hi to all and Merry Christmas-- I am starting a 52 Allstate restoration -- Is there a source for the Allstate brand whitewall tires ----- also what size should they be ? What width is the white wall ? 3 inches ?
Thanks for all replies -- the car is located in Merced , Calif --- Central San Joaquin Valley area ---- Mark 209-617-8554
I need a carb for the 6 cyl and many other parts to come as I get going -

Hi Mark and welcome.
Regarding the tires, the Henry J uses a 5.90 for bias ply. Sears was still selling tires out of their catalog in the 1990s but I don't think they are any more. It might be worth a check just the same. The carburettor for a six cylinder is a Carter YF 833 and it looks just like the one used on the four cylinder which is a YF 823. The 823 will not work right a the six - it's different inside. I don' t know of a source for one right now but I'm sure you will get lots of information here. Best of luck and keep checking back.

I've just purchased a 1953 Allstate (4cyl) to re-do. Please contact me as I may have extra parts you'll need. Dan, knee55@aol.com

Here's a carb for it -

It looks a bit rusty and the price a bit steep maybe... I don't know. If someone needs one it may be one of the few options.
Good to "see' you Dan - how's your Allstate coming along?

I have a complete HJ (same as Allstate) 6 cyl carb available. I would like to sell the carb along with the complete 86K mile engine for $350. However, I will part out the carb and oil bath air cleaner for $145 plus shipping. Will post image soon.

I thought you might enjoy the attached PDF file. I recently bought an old stack of Popular Mechanics and Science and Mechanics magazines. In the June 1952 issue of Science and Mechanics I found this article on a review of the "New Allstate".
Enjoy.

KFOCI Club members get a CD called KFOCI HANDBOOK when they join. It is a perk for becoming a member. In it you will find the Kaiser-Frazer Service Bulletin with a list of Allstate-specific parts. Anything you need that is not on that list is Henry J. You will also find info on the cars themselves in the general information section.
Sears Roebuck & company scrapped out their Allstate parts inventory prior to 1962.
I would suggest that you have the Allstate-specific brightwork cleaned up and re-chromed if at all possible (grille parts, emblems).

If you are interested I have a 4 cylinder genuine Allstate motor engine for sale in the parts section . Allstate tag says serial number 2181. If interested contact me a jankowskileo@att.net Very willing to sell or trade for army jeep parts.

I need a source for a fuel pump --- it has the 6 cylinder ---
-
Do you want single or dual action
-
I have a dual action now -- I just found a repair kit with a diaphragm that looks like it was NOS from the 50's -- I'm thinking that rubber won't survive with today's fuel ???????
-
Do not waste your time. Several of us have used this on the 6 cyl. HJ with good resultsand it withstands todays gasohol. You may have to change the lines. it's no big deal. Rockauto sometimes has really good prices

I received the front shocks but they appear to be longer in overall length ?????
-
I got those numbers for the shocks off an old parts list that was published in the KFOC Quarterly some years ago. The picture at NAPA online (www.napaonline.com) looks correct but I never tried them myself. Perhaps they were a cross over number and have changed since then? Anyone else have any comments?
-
I have the original monroe 1001 le for $60 a pair including shipping. Guaranteed satisfaction or return.
-
I am going to assemble the front A arms tomorrow and I'll see if they will work -- it's going to be close
-
I need a new fuel tank sending unit -- I am changing to a 12 volt system -- will the old type work on 12 volts or do I need a different one ? I have seen a new one on E Bay for 79.00 but it says 6 volt -
Thanks for all replies
Also -is there a pickup tube of some sort that installs in the fuel tank ?? I presently have nothing in the tank ?
-
I am looking at the drive shaft-- the boots are cracked loose on both ends but the joint itself feels tight --- ??
