Hi, I have been out for a while but with some great advise the 1938 ford has givin us great pleasure. Does any one know about how to find the Crome moulding on the bottom edge of a 1938 four door deluxe hood? I have checked with macs and another but have come out dry. Any help on this would be...

Any one know where to find a vac line that goes from Dist to plate under carb? 1938 ford!!

Thanks for a reply, I wonder if the black receiver from the top plate on the distrubitor is taller! I used a 90 wire and had to bring the generator up about a half of a inch. This let the fan miss the wire/boot and leaves about 3/4 of a inch from fan to under the radiator tank! Is a normal...

I have the separate coil and a plate on to of the distrubitor. So the fan will just miss the place where the coil wire goes in but when I install the wire with the rubber boot the fan will hit it. I was told by a person to use a longer belt to raise the generator and fan. It calls for a 52 inch...

Well I fully apologize for any misguided or impolite words I have said! As far as my repair person I have he is the best of the best! My mention of him, knowing he is the best I thought "problem" could have been experienced by others.. Sorry and thanks to all!! Graderman!!

Yup I see a little in all of us!!

I removed the distrubitor and sent it on to bubba for a recheck! I sure hope there is something going on with it cuz" I don't know what to do next. The engine has been overhauled not to long ago I would say, the new green paint is still very sharp and there is no smoke and power is excellent ...
