FYI; Pressure is resistance to flow or volume. Excess volume is what creates back pressure and that pressure is preset/balanced by the pump spring. The diaphragm is mechanically pulled down to charge the chamber but it's the spring that returns it and if there's a greater resistance or pressure...

Specialty Fasteners in LA sell assorted length ARP studs etc. https://www.specialty-fasteners.com/Head-Main-Studs-3-4-Short-Coarse-p/sku-3025.htm Personally I'd prefer the coupling nut method because it's a more consistent torque loading plus you can remove the filter housing without upsetting...

Thanks Fordbarn, I have been able to source a pair of windshield trims and dome lights all from the same member. Really appreciate everyone's help here.

Hello folks, I'm looking for a pair of dome lights for my '46 Tudor ..... I'd prefer a pair without any switch as I've fitted 'door open' switches. Can anyone also suggest a lens supplier should I need them. Please PM me. TIA.

BTTT: I had a pair organised but it fell through unfortunately.

Thanks for that info guys. I understood that they are a mechanical clock and the power is only used to rewind them .... but how many amps are required to do that as it effects what 12V to 6V reducer I get. This is the only 6V item in the car, the rest of it is 12V negative ground.

Hello all, I have a 1946 Lincoln clock for my next build and I'd like to clarify the correct way to power it please. As it was originally 6 volts I'll provide a 12V to 6V reducer unit ...... my questions are ...... what current draw do these clocks have, are they connected through the ignition...

Thanks for that info WBC, the Champion 3 row is what I was looking at. As I now have AC and need to mount a condenser out front I'm trying to use a 6 blade mechanical fan with a shroud instead of an electric pusher fan. I'll just have to re-position the radiator assembly forwards some to...

Hi Dale, My original radiator is already setup for the SBC but its looking a little tired so I thought that this was a good time to upgrade, especially now with the AC onboard. I'm not a real fan of Aluminum radiators but I guess it's the most economic way compared to a custom Copper/Brass...

Thank you WB Chuck for your response. I'm investigating Champion radiators now. Which core style/size did you go with .... I've got a basic 300 - 350HP SBC crate motor with a TH350 transmission. I'm hoping to use a 17", 6 blade Mustang HD type fan blade providing there is enough space, I already...

Thanks for your reply Al, How or where did you mount the angle iron frame to the chassis? I'm assuming that it was still supported by the OEM bolt in cross member.

Hello folks, I'm part the way through a '46 Ford Tudor build down here in Australia. The car is now fitted with a GM drive train, this conversion also required a different radiator and mountings to suit. My question is about the OEM design ..... the original radiator support attaches to the...

Hi folks, I'm looking for a pair of stainless steel windshield trims please. Please PM me what you have, shipping would be to Anaheim, CA. Thanking you.

Hi all, I'm looking for a nice pair of the ribbed style 1942-6 Ford sedan running board moldings please. I'll be in Bakersfield Ca on the 20th for a couple of days only then back to Australia, please PM me. Thanks, Graham.

Hi all, I'm looking for some nice 1946 (corrugated) Ford Tudor S/S fender & running board trims. PS: I also need the two short cowl S/S pieces. Thanks, Graham.
