Mercman, thank you for enlarging the picture. I need to figure the picture posting thing out.

Here's a picture of mine. First time at this, hope it works. Click to enlarge.

I've had a T5 behind my 8ba for about 12years now. Best move I've ever made with my 40. With a 3:50 rear I'm running 2200 rpm at 70 mph. Drove from Pa to Cruise the Coast last Oct and averaged 23 mpg running between 65 and 70. Probably could have done better since I always run more on the rich...

Ken, forget the old Fords, this is riding season. You should never let a Triumph sit!!!!! Good luck with the knee. Dan

Hi everyone, I just want to put a good word out for Ken. Over the last year I have had a bunch of annoying problems with my flathead. It's a Merc with a few mods. Anyway my dual carbs-94's-always gave me issues so I had Ken put two together for me. His carbs work great, the flathead is running...

I though I posted about the results of my engine/head work, guess I did not. I did the relief around the plugs, put in my re-curved distributor by Bubba buttoned it up and drove it to York. Seat of pants the 40 ran great. Best it's ever been. The ping was not apparent. I think due to the engine...

I have not put the spacers in yet. I'll probably do so this coming weekend. I have some work planned that being one of the jobs. I'll let you know how they work as soon as I get a chance to run the 40. Dan

I mounted mine on the underside floor step up for the rear seat, drivers side, more outboard. It's been there 12 years with no problems. Of course I made sure the fuel lines were clear of the exhaust pipes. Dan

In my first Barn post I asked for opinions regarding possible pre-ignition at high RPM's. Thanks to everyone's input and Jim "Bubba" Linder, my 8BA has never run better. I had a friend put my Offy heads on his Bridgeport to unshroud the plugs. After this I opened the flame path just a little...

You guys have a great bunch of good looking 36's. It's one of my favorite years. Would love to have a 36 three window. Dan

I just bought two of the new type Dick S. sells at York this weekend. I bought them from Coolcarb Technologies. This is the company that is making the spacers for Dick. Apparently they went into collaboration to come up with a new spacer for heat control. It appears to be some type of plastic...

My son went to Virginia Tech from 2002 to 2006. I used to cruise down to visit him during the warm weather months in my 40 Ford Tudor. I loved the rides down. Anyway, on Saturday nights in Salem, a small town near Roanoke, they held a cruise night behind Fast Freddy's, a hamburger joint. This...

Chuck, if you don't mind, can you let us know what you decide on? I doubt I'll do air in my 40 but it does sound so nice to have. Thx, Dan

The frame looks great but the garage is definitely cool! Dan
