Does anybody know of an automatic transmission, other than the C4,that will go behind a flathead and not have to change the floor pan? This a stock 1953 Ford 6 volt And keep it 6 volt.

What's missing is the resister wire on the horn relay. A 16 ohm 7" nichrome wire is attached across the horn relay between the two external tabs on the relay. The shock comes when the horn button is released.This wire is never included on after market harnesses.

OK, What's the secret to keeping the hubcaps on? These are full size stock Mercury caps on stock 15" wheels with Coker radials. I even got passed by on cap the other day. I can go around the block and they start to come loose. Help!:

Which comes first bolting on the timming cover or putting on the crank pulley? It's a battle either way.

Anyone have a recomendation for removing Dot 5 brake fluid to replace it with Dot3? What can I use to flush out the Dot 5 so I can put in Dot 3. I've read they are not compatable and I don't want to end up with goo.Thanks.

Ford used 6 volt gauges up into the 70's and beyond. you need an 8.5 ohm resistor( this I found was a resister wire in pickups and purple in color) you need all of it a foot or so, and the IVR. Instrument voltage regulator. This is a small item that plugs or has snaps on it on the circuit board...

Does any one know the length of this spring? Van Pelt says 6.25" I have 2 at 6.5" and 3 at 6.75" Does it make any difference?

I got 16 NOS ones yesterday and they are all concave! What gives?

Is the bottom of the lifter concaved or convex?
