Thanks guys. I got to mess with it a little bit today, and its running quite well now. I really need to get some wheels and tires for this thing now!

I'm looking for some 16x5 steel wheels 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern, with the innie hubcap nubs. They are going on a '64 F100

Well, the fuel issue is solved. I feel like a bit of a bonehead, but sometimes I am! It would appear that the previous owner had the fuel pump hooked up backwards, and as a result, so did I. I was in bed doing some research on Y blocks last night when I noticed how the fuel pump was hooked...

Hey guys, I posted this over on the HAMB, but thought it would be wise to ask here as well. I'm messing with a Y block for the first time. Trying to get it fired up, but I have no fuel getting to the carb. The vehicle is a '64 F100 with what I believe to be the factory 292 Y block. I put new...

Ok great. Thanks guys.

So do rebuild parts not exist? Or am I left to my own devices?

Sorry, I've haven't been on here for a bit. Here is a manual I got a link to off this site for rebuilding. http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/Ford/Haudaille/pages/Houdaille%2000_jpg.htm

That's a good idea. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks

Hey guys, I've got these shocks I'm planning on using on a current project. It is my understanding that these shocks were used from'38-'48. I've found info on rebuilding, but not any info on where you can get parts and/or seals. Please understand, I am not looking for a rebuilding service, I am...

I'll be using SPI epoxy primer pretty soon on an OT project. It was recommended to me by a high end painter who uses a lot of PPG products. It's priced well too.

I checked the friction disc on the extra distributor I have for my '37 engine, and it is indeed 5/8" diameter. I'm in for a couple.

Is it stock intake? We had a situation with an aftermarket intake where it didn't have heat risers in the intake, but it also didn't block them off at the block. We didn't notice that till we had excessive smoke.

Guess you didn't read the original post.

Stock intake? I came across a situation recently where an aftermarket intake didn't have an exhaust crossover, but also nothing to block it off, so if you didn't block the ports in the block, it would put exhaust in the valley, which would make the oil black, among other issues.
