Anybody know what the light above the starter button is for on a 1939 Ford Deluxe? Thanks

I am looking for a NOS throttle cable. I just need the rod from the firewall to the carburetor.

The motor starts up fine when it's cold but when it's hot it takes a while to start up or I have to let it cool down. The motor runs perfectly. I have checked for any vacuum leaks and found none. The voltage to the distributor seems to be low after it is hot. Any ideas or thoughts on what to...

Hello: I own a 1939 ford Deluxe and it has a Columbia overdrive in it. They originally had the vacuum line run to a spot below the carburetor. They installed some sort of adapter plate between the carburetor and the intake manifold with a vacuum fitting. Can I just use a hole already in the...

I have a 1939 Ford V-8 Flathead and wasn't paying attention when I removed the distributor. Does the distributor need a gasket when I re install it. I sent it out to Bubba's machine shop and they did a fantastic job. It looks like new again. Thanks in advance!

Thanks
