magnaflow sells good glass packs.nice deep rumbly sound to them.

I checked compression and all cylinders are within 2% of each other i think the thing to do it take the intake off and check the baffle and make sure it didn't come loose.

I build the motor. it a 8ba with one piece valve guides has less 500 miles on it.i can look in the through the spark plug hole and see oil around the intake valve

if you are looking for a real good company that will match the original color check out Automotive touch up paints. they can match anything all the way back to the early twenties

Iv had my 1937 truck in my name for three years now, but my grandfather had it since 1954.

First off happy 4th of July to all! Second thing is I have oil coming in my #2 cylinder, enough to foul the plug so it can't spark. Im thinking it could be a bad valve guid seal since I know its coming up through intake valve. It could be excessive valve guide wear. I just want your guys...

i need a diagram of how the bed mounts the frame of truck. its been a while since i took it apart so anything would help.

try looking at pertronix or unilite

your starter is hanging up on the flywheel when it try's to kick back, i had this problem with mine a few times.

I hope this helps

You can always use a vacuum gauge. Just hook it up to the intake manifold and if it reads constant its fine, if it jumps up and down it will tell you if its sticking. You do have to have the motor running while doing it.

Im lucky they still had auto at my high school. The schools keep funding everything else except vocational programs and hands on classes. Some of are not mean to sit behind a desk all day. I am with you guys on the parts problems, I get a lot of strange looks from the guy at napa and Oriely's...

I have to disagree with you on the younger generation not having to know older cars. Im 19 now, but I have restored two vehicles from the ground up, a 1937 ford pickup and a 54 Packard caribbean. Computers just help as a aid to find what I can't, other wise I am digging through my motor...

I am having a hard time finding specs on a certain winfield camshaft. The number that is stamped on it is 7212-12. Any help would be nice since i can't seem to find anything on it.

well now i have it figured out i need to find a new condenser. Does anyone have NOS mallory brass one? It should have a number 36 on the bottom of it.
