My 1950 Custom with a 239 ci. is needing a fuel pump. I want to install an electric. Can anyone tell me how much pressure and do I run it directly to the carbs or to the non-working mechanical pump? Is there a reliable brand to look for? If the pressure is too high, I will have to put on a...

Installing an electric fuel pump on my 1950 v-8. Is it better for the pump to push or pull fuel or does it make a difference?

Thanks to all of you for your replies. I'll start removing all the small parts tomorrow and clean and lubricate them before reassembly. I would start today but it's that time of year for my first grass mowing. Again, thanks .

Thanks, Bob. Looks like I need to pull the entire steering column out. Rats!

1950 Club Coupe. Shifting from first to second I raise the shift arm up to neutral and the spring does not pull the lever down to go on into second. I must push it forward then on into second It has been this way since I bought it. I have unhooked the arms from the column and the trans seems...

Thank you both. I plan to reuse the know so I will try that tomorrow.

I have a bad choke cable on my 1950 Ford. I can't get the old knob off. I tried screwing it off and pulling it straight off but nothing gives. What am I doing wrong? Can one of you advise me?

I am considering putting an OD ****** in my 1950 Ford. I have a rebuilt one available for $700. After reading and watching YouTube videos it seems that (among other things) I will need to drill a hole in the floorboard under the accelerator pedal for a kickdown switch. Is this true? Bummer

I am considering installing an OD ****** in my '50 club coupe. I have been offered a rebuilt one for $700. After doing a little research, it looks like I may have to drill a hole in my floorboard for a kickdown switch below my accelerator pedal among other things. Is this right?

Thanks, friends. I'm sure this will not work in my '50. I just wondered what car had a gearing that high. I would have to get a push to take off even if it did fit. But I will tell the owner of the rear end that it is for a much later 8" Ford. I appreciate all your responses.

An acquaintance is trying to give me a differential for my 1950 Ford. It has 15 teeth on the pinion and 42 on the ring gear. By my calculations that is a 2.80 ratio. Obviously I can't use it but I have never heard of that ratio. What the heck is it?
