Thanks for the reply, the magnet on the outside is good idea. I have been lucky and found it in the pump stand. I will now only use a rebuilt pump and not aftermarket rubbish. The first pump was a Bob Drake but leaked around the screws at the top the 2nd was a Carter and was just cheap rubbish...

Hi everyone and Happy Christmas and New Year. Over the break I replaced my fuel pump which was leaking with a carter fuel pump. While the engine was running and I was checking for leaks it stopped pumping. Anyways turns out the pump arm had broken but a tiny piece was missing. I took off the oil...

I think you are right, it’s just a repro rubbish. Difficult for me as in the UK but will look for one on E Bay. In the meantime I have ordered a Carter pump made in Mexico so hopefully have better luck with that. Can you recommend anyone who sells rebuilt pumps ? I can get it sent to my mate in...

1936 Ford 1/2 ton. Hi everyone looking for some advice. My engine has been rebuilt and runs smooth and faultless. But while under the hood checking oil I noticed that the Bob Drake glass bowl fuel pump which is new to the rebuild less than 500 miles on engine,had a little bit of fuel seepage...

thank you

I don't think it has been greased for may years and doesn't have any resistance like a tie rod end, I don't like to replace original for repro if I can help it. I may take it to the machine shop and see if they can sleeve it and weld it up with a new end, it will outlast me.

Hi everyone and thanks for your help in the past, I removed my drag link today but the end that connects to the steering box arm is cast and can’t be replaced like the other end. Does this mean I have to get a modern repro and are they any good ? Thank you.

Hi everyone and many thanks for all your help on my last thread. I have just removed the king pin on my 36 Ford 1/2 ton pickup still on manual brakes. I have a new old stock king pin kit. But please can someone tell me what size to ream out the bushes. Is it .812 or .814 Many Thanks

Thank you

This is my 36 Ford, the Flathead V8 was built by Jerry Livingstone in Kansas then shipped back here to England

Does anyone know who rebuilds the Houdallie shock for the 36 Ford 1/2 ton pickup ? Or is there a good modern replacement for these type of shocks ? Thank you

That’s great thank you very much ��

Hi, Did Ford use panel screws for securing the steel toe board in the 35 36 pickup trucks ? Thank you

Thanks everyone I did wonder if it was the original one or not. That’s brilliant I knew if anyone could help then this site could as I have solved many problems through the threads. I am in England and have just come back from Kansas where my engine was rebuilt by Jerry at United Engine...

Thank you I will do that.
