Are there still kits out there for upgrading mechanical breaks to juice? Or even better disc?

Dad's last project. Bodywork is 95% complete. All done correctly with metal. Convertible top frame complete and power coated. NOS front fenders. Everything is there. I have a clear title in my name.

What should I gap the plugs on my 36 21 stud? I'm having a senior moment, can't recall the proper gap Thanks

I just cheked and I don't have them. I have the 2 holes to the left, they hold up the mighty electrical and tech modual under the dash.

Thanks Vic. I found one at Mac's. Mac's description starts out as valve cover gasket then goes on to say inlet manifold gasket. My old eyes just missed it.

where can I find and purchase an intake manifold gasket for my 1936 stock 21 stud flattie?

I've been thinking about replacing the original steel 4 blade fan on the genny of my stock 36' with perhaps a lighter and more effecient modern fan. Better cooling? What do you guys think? What fan would you reccomend?

Can a 750X16 tire fit on a stock 36' wide 5 wheel?

Thanks for all this great information. You've given me a lot to chew on and research. It is a stock 36 engine with poured babets and all. Had it rebuilt in 76 by an old man in an old race shop in Indianapolis and was going great guns with the rebuild until life got in the way. In 2004, after...

Cylindrs all have good compression, in fact the engine only has 1090 miles on it since a total rebuild. (although the rebuild was done in 1976) I've had this baby for a while.(bought it in 1970 for $50.00) And thanks for the complement.

What’s a good way to get a little more power out of the old 85HP 21 stud in my 36’ 5 window? Everything runs pretty good, I just go slower and slower going up these daunting Southern Indiana hills. Right now everything’s bone stock. Right down to the mechanical brakes. (Although I do admit to...

As always guys, great advice. Thanks!

Had the 36' in storage the past couple of years. Got it out last weekend, changed the oil, poured gas in the carb, and after a few trys she started and idled like a new one. After it warmed up a bit I began reving the engine and at higher RPM's it started to backfire and buck something awful. Is...

I put the English Stromberg on my 36 a few years ago, runs great, no problems. Well worth the money.

I got mine at http://inspectionsticker.net He has all kinds of neat stickers.
