The pumps show it should be for the correct application. We are going to try one last time ordering a new one. We did call NAPA, they already sent the core in... so it's long gone.

Good morning, We have a 1957 thunderbird with 312 and holley 4 barrel in our shop. The fuel pump was leaking through the 2 holes on the side (I'm guessing its a bypass of sorts?), we got a new fuel pump from NAPA and sent the old one in for a core (Mistake)... put the new fuel pump on and it...

Well, I just looked up the directions on Carpenter's and boy do I feel dumb! I got this going in tonight hopefully. Thanks for the quick answers!

Working on putting the windshield back into the old pickup... Question about the seal. I would assume that the seal goes onto the windshield frame, not onto the body. The only problem that I am having is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how the seal goes onto the frame! I have...

Thanks, I have had the radiator cleaned and re cored so that shouldn't be a problem. I have thought about sending my pumps down to skip to have them rebuilt just because I have read that his are the best. I have looked, but cannot find thermostats that will fit in this engine, what is everyone...

Thanks for the replies! Yes, I am measuring stationary in my shop.. I did put 2 fans in front of it to try and simulate some air movement around the engine to try and help. I had the distributor and coil rebuilt at Bubba's, I didn't move any of the vacuum or timing since I got it back, I just...

Hey guys, I am working on trying to finish up my '36 this summer! I have the engine in and running, it was a "Fresh" rebuild from about 20 years ago. It starts right up and runs very smooth, BUT it does run a little hot... I know that sometimes they will run a little hot after first start up...

Working on my '36 pickup, needing to get the horns rebuilt. Are there any parts out there to rebuild these units?? Or, is there someone who does this sort of work?? I have not been able to find either so far in my searching. Thanks for any and all help!! I have made a lot of progress here...

Looking for a good quality 1936 pickup grille, going to be chromed so it needs to be nice! Please email me - dan@mcmullenford.com. Thanks! Dan.

Update: I pulled the starter out last night, it must have been stuck it made a pop noise and came right out ... I cleaned all the contacts and put back together, and it works! Now, I opened up the idle adjuster screw and opened the GAV 1 full turn, cranked and IT NOW STARTS! Now, does anyone...

Thanks for the help and ideas! I went out last night, checked all the lines and have good fuel flow. I should have mentioned that I put a dirty leg on this before starting and also another filter in the sediment bowl. I Checked the filter going into the carb and found it to be really dirty so...

Good morning, I normally hang out in the early V8 forum, but look here time to time... I have recently started working on a 1930 Coupe that my grandfather owned, it has been sitting for a little over 10 years since it ran. It did run great when it was put away. I have gone through all the...

Working on getting the wiring finished up on the '36! I am running the body harness from the gas tank up to the brake switch, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how the wires run up the frame to the switch and ahead... I ran it up the "X" part of the frame, but don't know where it...

I just put in an order with Roy, he does not have these bolts. I am thinking I will end up doing what Lawson did and weld onto some all thread or a different bolt. Your correct that Henry did not make it easy at times lol, the square drive is a little bit smaller than a 3/8 drive... BUT, I...

Getting ready to put the box back on my '36 pickup. The bolts that hold the box to the frame were all but destroyed when taking apart. I am getting the carriage bolts that go in the front of the box from Roy, but need the other 6 (3 on each side) clutch head bolts with the square drive. I...
