Thanks, it is an L. Looked like a C to me when the needle is sitting on top of the L. Thanks again

No, it’s the battery gauge

On my 39 ford deluxe the battery gauge has an ‘n’ between the H at the top and the C at the bottom. The owners manual doesn’t explain what the N stands for. Is it for normal

I’m trying to replace the outside door handles on my 39 ford deluxe. The replacements have longer shafts which I need to cut. The originals had a piece of the shaft slotted to fit the hole. The new ones do not have the slotted part. Should the new ones still work? Thanks

The steering column sleeve on my 1939 Ford is cracked down near the steering box. Is this a major problem? Is there an easy fix short of removing the entire steering column. It grinds a little when you turn the wheel.

I’m getting ready to replace the points on my 39 Ford Deluxe with the electronic igniter. Is this a straight forward change or are there some tricks to it. I’m keeping everything at 6 volts so that’s why I’m not replacing the entire distributor. Thanks for any helpful advice.

I am replacing the temperature gauge assembly on my 1939 Ford and am having trouble getting the old nut off the head. I’ve tried soaking it with master blaster but it won’t budge. Any ideas?

Do you carry the gauge? Your second sentence said you used to stock them.

I need a temperature gauge assembly for my 1939 Ford Deluxe. part # 91A-10883. Every site I have tried informs me that the part has been discontinued. Any ideas where else to look. Thanks

The temperature sender on a 39 flathead ford

I need to remove the temperature probe from the head cover so I can remove the headcover. I can’t get it loose from the head and I don’t want to take the dashboard apart. Can the wire be cut and spliced back together? Any ideas? Thanks

I have a stuck valve that we have tried Mystery Oil, tapping on the valve and today removed the intake. The valve will not come down. Any more ideas. Thanks

How do you mount a seal beam headlight into a 39 Ford headlight bucket? When my father had the car he put the extensions on but I wanted to go back to the flush with the fender look. Thanks

Finally hooked up new battery after sitting idle for a few years. All new wires. When I hit the starter button I get “kerplunk” kind of noise. Nothing else. Still the original motor so I assume it’s still a positive ground. That’s what the owners manual says. Any ideas? Thanks
