Gents Closure on this issue----- It was a bad cable from solenoid to starter motor. Turns out this has been my problem all along. I had trouble starting when engine was hot in the beginning. Then worsened to "No start". I had cleaned all connections, but didn't consider old cables that were...

Yes, I thought about that. I want to eliminate the cable as a source and then if I still have a problem, I know it is the starter motor. Thanks for all the help Dale

Feedback I decided to take off the cable from solenoid to starter and recheck the terminals. Wire brushed both ends and the terminals. Put it back on and car started. Porblem solved right? Wrong, an hour later it won't start. Same issue, just clicks. I loosened the connection at the...

thanks to all of you Dale

Greetings to All of you fine folks I have checked out all possible causes, except the Starter motor. I have had trouble starting the car after engine is up to temp for quite some time, and have suspected the starter. Now with the latest issue, and rechecking all possibilities, I am committed...

Battery test was done at O Reilly and feedback was "Meets OEM Spec. Another piece of info--When I was trying to start it yesterday, it was turning over fine and suddenly just stopped like it was locked up.

Greetings Back again with another issue. My 40 ford won't turn over, behaves like a Dead Battery, but had battery tested and found good. When I push starter button I hear a click at the solenoid and that is all that happens. Is there a way I can test the solenoid before I purchase a new one...

Kube Thks, what is the issue with gold coloring. Not sure what to look or ask for. I am advised as to the correct Model/part no. Do I also need to check for "Gold"coloring on the carb. Thks again Dale

Thanks Much Again At the risk of being a pest, any chance of a pic showing the hand throttle hook up on the drivers side Dale

Thanks Kube, The carb does have a 94 on the back, but no place to attach the throttle arm on left side of carb A pic of the correct hook up would be great Thks Dale

Greetings I am trying to put my 1940 back to Original as possible. Getting close, but a few things left. The carb on the car now is a Ford Model 8BA which is missing the manual Throttle link on the carb. The rest of the linkage is there, but no place to hook it to the carb. Not sure if it...

How much and often do I put oil in my 1940 Ford distributor. Small opening on right side of distributor with a little door. Thanks Dale
