Yes, Im used to working on Model A's and the pinion and drive shaft are removed through the side of the center housing. You can check with several how to Model A books. The large lock nuts will slide off the a ModelA drive shaft but the 32 drive shaft is much thicker. I put my torch on the...

Back in the late 50's & early 60's we used to ride motorcycles in that area long before the racetrack was there. I remember entire hillsides would be covered with wild orange poppies.

My original 32 Ford ring and pinion are toast. Got the rear end out, axles & center section out of the housing. Torque tube off, large lock nuts loose. Does the pinion come out the front of the housing? I've done Model A rear ends before the pinion and drive shaft come out through the side of...

I removed my eng & auto ****** as a unit. I was told several years ago you can't remove the transmission w/o removing the eng. I've also heard you can partially disassemble the ****** in the car to make repairs. This is what I've heard not done.

Just got a list of everything done to the 55 Ford since my uncle purchased the car in Sept of 2005. The total comes $17798.48. Everything in the eng. electrical system has been replaced, points, condencer, coil, plug wires, dist leed, cap, rotor. New fuel pump, carb & rebuild, fuel lines...

Nice, looks like you have lots of room to add to your collection. Here's mine but I'm out of room.

OK, lets say it's the condenser, where the best place to get a decent one? Are 6V condensers pretty much the same? I have a few boxes full of Echlin & other NOS electrical parts, points, condensers, vacuum adv., dash pots, switches etc, from the 50s & 60s. These were parts deemed obsolete in the...

I did talk to my uncle, he said the only time he had a problem was when doing a parade and going slow. Never quit when he drove it on trips of 10-30 miles, even warm days.

I talked with my uncle who I got the car from, he said he had this problem when doing a couple of parades. He said he removed air cleaner & poured a little gas in the carb & it fired right up. He sent a new electric fuel pump with the car. I also see Bob Drake sell a heat shield that fits under...

Just acquired a nice 55 2dr Fairlane from my uncle. It had to be transported from Iowa the PNW in an enclosed trailer so gas was at 1/8 tank. I took it for the 1st ride with my wife after adding 2 gal of gas from a can. It was warm day, mid 80's. The car ran fine to my son's house 6 miles away...

I have a 351W in my 94 F250. I started it a couple yrs. ago and oil pressure gauge hardly moved off of L. I quickly shut it off and checked many posts on Google about the problem. I finely decided the easiest thing to do was install a new pressure sender. As soon as I did the oil gauge went up...

Still available, price lowered. A super solid Model A fordor. It now has a nicer trunk then the one shown in the picture.

A few more pic's. Also open to reasonable offers. I've owned 18 Model A's and this is one of the most solid original cars I've had. It also has all four working shocks.

29 Briggs fordor, 60K orig. miles. Frame off resto. in the 80's. started by previous owner who was a Dr. He had all mechanic work done & then stored inside until I bought it in 2008. Super solid car, doors close with a gentle thud. It had all the original interior (removed & stored in plastic...

New, in the box 31 stone guard. This came with some parts I just acquired & I already have one on my Cabriolet. These are currently $245 from the vendors. Prefer local pick up.
