:D Anybody got a boogered up '37 to '41front wishbone? I just need one side to fix a boogered up one I got. I just need the foot or so where the spring perch pin and spring bushing is. Some overzealous type took a torch to the spring perch pin to try and cut off the top and cut into the...

19Fordy and Jack E/NJ, Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look at them. Lou

I have the Holley low pressure regulator and it works fine MOST OF THE TIME. But, every so often I have to re-adjust that thing as it seems to have a mind of its own occasionally. Therefore, I would recommend that you put it somewhere easily accessible.

Where did that windshield frame come from!? Wow!

I cannot state that this works because I have not had to remove a head, but it is what I've done with my heads, cast iron and aluminum, on two engines. http://www.stefs.com/bandb/products/productpages/washerstep.htm To me it is intuitive, if you keep the bolts or studs centered in their holes...

Andy, have they planted any trees to replace the ones killed by oak wilt?

Wow! Damn, I hope the folks who reserved at the hotels will be able to get refunds. Their policies on that suck.

I had this set up on my '36 pickup for a while. It worked OK, but it placed the fan very low on the radiator and I had to use a smaller diameter fan to clear the lower outlets. That engine is an 8BA and I decided to go back to a stock set up with a big fan that is nicely centered on the...

Has anyone done this sort of thing and tied it to your turn signal switch? When I re-do my '40 Sedan Delivery I thought about putting in such a system because lane changing in that thing is a real adventure. It is like driving a cave. I might just have to leave it on all the time like flatbed...

Geez, Jim, seeing as how you followed me around in Austin a couple of months back when I had one plug loose with it missing intermittently, I would have thought you would have recognized a plug/wiring issue right away.:o

Wanting to adjust the headlites implies that you plan on driving at night! Are you nuts?! Looks like I need to call Willie to get some supervision on site.

I currently only have one 21 stud head for this prospective engine. I have a lead on another in the swapmeet section. So, 21 stud heads are a little more scarce than 24 types so I don't have any extras to be cutting up. I like your suggestion, Lonnie, and thanks to all for the others.

Kahuna, so good to hear from you. I've been so worried about you! *inside joke***** How am I going to spray soapy water around the valve seats to make sure there are no cracks? But, you gave me an idea. I will see if I can get an old 21 stud head gasket to use as a pattern to get a pressure...

Being lazy here and not digging out my pressure test equipment to see if it fits. So, are there enough common stud holes to get a good seal with a 24 stud pressure test block?
