Thanks to all who replied. My '39 has the "WIDE FIVE." My goal is to set the car up with 1940 & later wheels & hubs. The replies I have received will be very helpful for me to do the conversion with not too much trouble. Thank You all again!!

How much is involved to put 1940 brakes on a 1939.

I'm fairly certain that years ago on this site some one had information that gave a very good explanation on how the dual points in our early V-8's work together to make the ignition system function. I could be wrong on this, but for some reason his last name might have been something like...

What additive did you use?

Engine smokes on my '40. Car was sitting for a while. Was told possible stuck piston rings. Is there any quick fix I could try. Ken

Thank You for your offer. Ken Bednar 5568 HWY 175 Hartford WI 53027 ( I think this what you meant by "pm") I don't use this site much & still learning. Plus being 73 doesn't help. Let me know if I should do something different.

Would be interested in purchasing one of your '40 heater templates. How can I get one? Thanks Ken

Thanks Floyd for your time & possible solution to my problem. Ken

Where can they be purchased?

How can I get brighter headlights & still keep the stock '34 look and keep my stock 6 volt system? Does anybody still re-silver the original reflectors?

Who sells or rebuilds '34 shocks?

Thanks, will give it a try.

I'm thinking I might possibly have some stuck piston rings on a running 1940 ford v8. Any ideas I could try short of engine removal. Basically a quite smooth running motor. Smokes a little and compression is lower on a couple cylinders. Thanks

Is there a Flathead Ford V8 calendar for 2011?
