Re: Model A eng to V8 Ford transmission adapter Sold

Brand new, never used, just dusty from hanging on my wall. Part is from Specialty Ford Parts in Rosemead CA.

It took me a while to understand that the stock starter button didn't provide power to the solenoid. Thanks for the reply.

I had another thread on using a gear drive starter on a stock flywheel; which was answered. The gear drive starter that I have doesn't seem to work, where is the best place to buy another one? I wired it a couple of different ways, and no bueno. My Model A is 12v, with a starter button...

Would this be a simple install. I heard somewhere that the ring gear had to be turned around; which wouldn't make this a simple install. This would be a Model A with a "B" engine. I wouldn't think that it would be a problem, but I thought I would ask to see if anyone has any insight into this swap.

My 1929 Model A RPU had a new engine installed in the ‘40 or ‘50s. At that time a new VIN or motor number was assigned to the title; which was LBxxxxx. The problem I see with changing the motor number would be proving ownership of the new engine; which would be the new VIN or motor number on the...

Anyone have a better link?

At this point, i would put some gas in a small can, with a hose going to the fuel pump and see if the pump will pump gas to the carburetors. Make sure the hose goes to the bottom of the can. This would eliminate everything from the pump to the tank. If it runs, then you know where to look.

Have you ever had the tank out and cleaned?

Richard, is the gas line that you hooked the siphon hose to, the same gas line that goes to the fuel pump? If so, then there might be something in your tank that is blocking fuel flow. The gas smell, is probably a slight gas leak. I'd probably should pull the fuel line at the inlet side of the...

The Chassis Ears, used to be under $100, now brought to you for a low price of just a little north of $130.:D

Chassis Ears About eight years ago I was trying to figure out where a noise was coming from on my OT truck. Here is a link that I participated in on the Garage Journal: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/chassis-ears-tell-me-all-about-them.148985/#post-3787742 Here is the post...

Most vacuum gauges can be used for pressure.

I think what Dan and I were trying to figure out, is the fuel pump actually working. If you disconnect the fuel pump outlet line (the one to the carburetor) and put a pressure gauge on it, that would give you the measure of the fuel pump output.

If you aren't getting fuel out of the outlet of the fuel pump, then the pump isn't working for some reason. What engine are you running? The post that "danliveshere" posted would give you an indication if the pump is being actuated by the camshaft.
