Cuz on my 59a I drained all of the water out and filled it with 4/5 gals of white vinegar that I bought at Smart and Final and ran it for about 250 miles. When I drained it all out it looked like black coffee and there was chunks of flashing from the casting that must have been .25x.25 sq. It's...

I use it all the time with no issues. I drive my '36 all the time and run Seafoam every so often to keep the 97 from gumming up. H36

Hey NormC it's really pick and choose, sometimes it's E-Bay, Drakes, Mac's, The Early Ford Store or the local flathead guy here in So. Cal. It really comes down to who has what you need and how fast you need it. I hope this makes since and helps, good luck. H36

I also used 100% vinegar in my flathead for two weeks and drove it a few hundred miles. I could not beleive the large chunks of crap and thick chocolate soup that came out. H36

Check the floors from the bottom up. Jack up the rear of the car and pull on the rear wheels and check for extra play. Jack up the front of the car and check the front wheels for extra play. Check the brakes and adjust if necessary (not sure if mechanical brakes). Check Radiator for leak stains...

I'm in the same boat, good luck. H36

Thanks rotorwrech, but the car starts and run just fine. I will have a look at the fuse again but the first time everything looked OK. H36

A few weeks ago I drove my 36 home after the sunset and I drove home with my headlights on. I left my headlights on and 2 weeks later I found out that my headlights and tail lights don't work. Is it the switch ? The car in question is 6v positive ground. Thank you, H36
