It looks too symmetrical to be an accident… But I’m not sure. I wouldn’t think there would be a hole there… But I just changed the oil and nothing was leaking out of it. I inherited the car a couple of years ago and have done quite a bit of work on it, but never noticed this before or maybe I...

Anyone have any ideas on what I can do with a throttle rod that is too long after installing dual 97 carburetors on my 1940 coupe? Thanks in advance!

The current price on your link is $4,995.00

Thanks so much! I just took a small screwdriver and was able to work my way around, tapping it in gently with a hammer and was able to get it off of their cleanly without any problem. Now it looks like it should. You just made my night!

Thank you! I didn’t realize that is a separate part. I’m new to this. What’s the best way to get that off of there without breaking anything? It’s on really tight.

I’m having a difficult time figuring out why certain slingshot adapters wouldn’t match the shape of my intake. Then I came across these gaskets on Bob Drake. According to these pictures, my 1940 Ford is requiring the shape intake gasket, which is supposed to be for 1932 to 38 vehicles. Anyone...

Hello, Sir! Do I need to put on a new intake manifold to use the Edelbrock carb? I just inherited my dad‘s 1940 Ford coupe. I’m just trying to make some changes to make it more reliable. I don’t need a new intake manifold, is there a certain adapter I need to use with the Edelbrock to make it...

I have heard conflicting arguments about how to use the Columbia overdrive system. Some people say it has to be engaged when you’re going 10 to 15 miles an hour, and others say you activate it when you are at freeway speeds. What is the correct way to use it? Can it be left on all the time? The...

Hi everybody. This is my first time on here. I recently inherited my dad’s 1940 Ford. He had her for the last 40 years and now it’s my turn to take good care of her. Does anyone have any ideas on some seat, cover options, until I can afford to take her to an upholstery shop and have them do a...
