Thanks for the input, I thought that would be the best way to go.

I have my 48 crankshaft pulley off and took a narrow belt, wrapped around it and there is about an 1/8 inch off the bottom of the pulley. I am looking at driving a type ll power steering pump off the front pulley. I cant find a narrow belt pulley for the front or a wide belt pulley for the type...

A lot of data here, Thanks. 3800 miles on a rebuild, tanked and cleaned. Mild Isky cam & mild shaved heads. using all new high quality 12v gauges, elect fan that covers the full size of the radiator. I am going to start with high flow thermostats, up-graded water pumps. larger expansion tank and...

Living in the mountains we have a lot of Steep grades. Ok I had my engine rebuilt by a flathead rebuilder (no longer around). The pumps were on it so I don't know what they are. I see speedway has what they call modern pumps. Is that what you are referring to? I can easily go with 180deg and...

OK, Problem solved. I did get in contact with Restoration Specialties and had luck. Jeff had me send in the picture of the clip and he said that he had some. They are not in their catalog but he knew where they were. I now hace two clips, identical to the ones I needed. He said they were from a...

Many thanks

Body code is 60B. I am addressing the SS moulding trim that is on top of the rear quarter and runs from the tail light to the rear window SS trim. There was a clip that went into that small hole seen in the picture.

I have looked all through their products and have not found anything similar. Still waiting for a response from their "Contact Us" site. I am wondering if the clips I am looking for were not on the original trim by Ford and done by "Shade tree Body Work"

I think I attached 3 pictures of the two clips and where they go.

This has been very helpful. I have identified all the moulding clips I need but two. There is a small spring style clip (kind of like the door panel clips) that are at the very front of the quarter body top SS trim where it ties into the rear window trim. Mine are very rusty. I guess I could use...

Very Good, Great info from both of you. I think I have all I need to order the right clips to replace all the old rusted clips. SS removed and now on to prep tor paint.

Need Help. I am pulling off all the SS trim getting ready for paint. The trim has every type of clip every where. No two pieces left or right the same. there has been a lot of shade tree work don on this car. Looking at replacing all the clips I am at a loss, Any one has input on what clips go...

Sounds like what I get out of this is watch the gauge and keep my IR gun handy. Replacing the gauge is around $80. Looks like that might be a bad waste of $$. I'll see if it bothers me too much. I really don't want to add under dash gauges that I have.

OK, I have been looking at all kind of info on 12V to 6V gauges for my 55 ford. My ford on 6V the temp gauge starts on H, start the engine, it drops to C, then swings toward H. To H indicating the engine is too hot. I have converted to 12V neg ground and used a high quality voltage reducer made...
