Thanks Gregory. That’s what I was concluding. Any thoughts on what amperage fuse to use or how I can find out?

Does anyone know if it is OK to connect the heater motor to the accessory post on the ignition switch? I have seen information both ways. My car is still a 6-volt positive ground system if that matters.

I am replacing the wiring harness on my 47 Coupe. The dash is currently out of the car. I would like to install the new harness to the dash while the dash is out of the car and on a workbench but I am concerned about getting the other half of the harness (the engine compartment wires) through...

Thanks for the recommendations on Wayne's. I hadn't found them.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll check out Sherm’s and the options mentioned by Bruce. I’m in Richmond, Virginia. I haven’t found any options near here.

Does anyone have any advice on chrome platers? I have seen some old threads but haven't found anything that is current. Advanced Plating seems to have a good reputation, but they are more expensive than others and have a long turnaround time. I will appreciate advice from someone with recent...

I have a 47 Coupe with the original V8 flathead. I am going to replace the oil pan gasket. Does anyone know if there is also a seal for the front of the crankshaft?

Thanks for the replies. I was wondering if it was for the radio.

My 47 car (still 6 volts) has what appears to be a condenser attached to the battery terminal on the voltage regulator. I don't see it on any wiring diagrams and I can't find it offered on any of the parts vendors websites. Can anyone offer any insight on why it might have been attached and...

I know you this is old thread but any advice on how to put a new spring in place will be appreciated. I got the old spring out as detailed above but getting the new one in place is a challenge. I am replacing the smaller upper spring. 47 car. Thanks

I know this is an old thread but is there anything new on upholstery supplier options? I am beginning the restoration of a 47 Coupe and am not finding any sources for materials much less kits.

Thanks. Good idea. I see that you are in Williamsburg. I am in Richmond. Do you know anyone who does good body and paint work or interior work in our area? Sorry for adding this to a general message but I am too new to this system to send a PM.

Thanks. I will see if I can find and get to the bolts. I’m trying to do this without a lift so it’s awkward to get to. I think the sleeve where the cable goes into the turtle is rounded out. The speedometer and/or cable were frozen for several years and I think the sleeve got rounded out. The...

I think I need to replace the speedometer driven gear on my 47 Ford Coupe. Does anyone know if that can be done without dropping the drive shaft. I don’t see a way to get to it.

Thanks for the answers on the engine color. On the cables, where is the battery ground cable supposed to connect? I don't see that cable in the pictures above. I am looking to replace mine but the ones I see from the parts companies are too short to reach the manifold or cylinder head from the...
