Hey folks I’m working on a 1934 Ford BB truck project with a 21 stud flathead. I’ve run into some confusion regarding the correct push rod length to use for the mechanical fuel pump. My engine is a 1934 21 stud flathead with what I assume is an original style aluminum intake manifold. Many...

Just did this job as well. The install driver from Third Gen was out of stock a few weeks ago when I ordered parts so I ended up using a socket that matched the I.D. of the bushing, a larger socket for the driver and hammered them home. For removal of the old bushings I used a sharp cold...

Good afternoon everybody, I’m at the tail end of putting together a T8/T9 4 speed transmission for my ‘34 V8 BB truck. But I’ve had no luck finding part (BB-7043) “Oil Baffle” for the main input gear bearing. I called Vanpelt but unfortunately they are out of stock indefinitely and weren’t...

Hello everyone, first time poster here. I have a 1934 Ford BB truck that I’ve been piecing together for years, only to recently find out I have a fitment issue with the ‘34 Flathead in it. Not sure why it didn’t dawn on me when I was installing the engine, but it sits much further back than it...
