I have an unused 3W reproduction tassel from a leBaron Bonney kit if you are interested.

Send me your email address to charles0644@aol.com and I will supply some Ford archives photos.

Thanx for info. What did the 18-6403-R plug look like? How does it differ from a standard square drive 3/4" pipe plug?

Hello fellows-- I just acquired another 1932 aluminum oil pan from a neighbor up the street. It differs from my other one in several respects. One is that there is no circular sump on the inside bottom. Two is that it does not have a casting date anywhere. Three is that the oil drain hole...

I should mention that I checked the level of gas in the bowl and it was about 15/32nds below the top of the bowl. Could this be a problem?

I hope some of you guys can give me some sound advice here. Engine is a stock recently rebilt 21 stud with a single 97 carb. Car doesn't get driven much. Has been running poorly, stalling out instead of idling. I found the carb was far out of adjustment (don't know how that happened, I...

Have not seen the new guidelines, but the earlier version that I have indicates the garnish moldings for this paint scheme are to be light buff. Have never seen letter or number codes on this car and would not know where to look. The firewall date is 12-28-28 so it is a very late model. The...

The auction prices realized are so low they would have been much better off just selling them privately.

Does anyone know of a source for these? Nacewicz does not list them. They are round brass, approx. 5/16" x 7/8", tapped on one end for 10-32 and the other end has a slight knurl for a finger grip. You cannot use the regular hex nuts on a dual temp due to impaired clearance. They may also be...

I have 700 1932 Ford factory photos and service bulletins on my computer, and think I have what you are looking for. Send me an e-mail at chasseims@hotmail.com and I will forward interiorphotos. I don't want to go through the hassle of posting on here.

Hello fellows-- I have a 1928 business coupe with a firewall date of 12-27-28. It did not come with a fan shroud when I got it. I bought a shroud at a swap meet and am now trying to install it. The shroud has four metal tabs for attaching to the radiator.The radiator has two metal "ears" on...
