I'm running Sta-Lube 140 gear oil. I assume that the thick oil contributes?

I googled asphalt impregnated cloth wiring harness cover and got lots of hits. Plenty of suppliers-prices, sizes, etc.

OK. Thanks all.

It turns easily under these conditions.

1951 Ford F1, 239 flathead V8, 3 speed light duty remote shift transmission. Engine and transmission completely rebuilt. Newly rebuilt clutch, pressure plate, and throwout bearing from Fort Wayne Clutch. I recently posted a question about the correct assembly of the synchronizer assembly, which...

Mac, Thanks for getting back to me. I originally had it assembled backwards, which is probably why I was grinding. Are you open for sales? I need a gasket set and your special shim washer. Thanks.

I have a 1951 F1, 239 Flathead V8, 3 Speed Light Duty Column Shift Transmission, all rebuilt. Have been grinding going into 2nd gear; adjusting the linkage did not help. So I pulled the transmission out and took it apart. The bronze synchronizer rings have the proper clearance, so that isn't...

Re: 3 speed column shift grinding in 3rd-SOLVED!!! PROBLEM SOLVED!! Thanks to the help I received here!! I drained the 90 WT fluid and opened up the side. Made sure that the synchronizer block moved freely, which it did. Turns out that I had the shifter linkage hooked up incorrectly; had the...

I bought the synchronizer rings as new from 3rd Gen Automotive; he has a good reputation, so they are most likely good, but who knows. I won't know until I open it up. Thanks everyone. Will drain it, pull the side cover, and see what I've got. Won't be for a few days, so I'll report back what I...

So I have to pull the ****** and inspect/fix this?

I have converted my 51 F1 with 239 flathead V8 to 12V negative ground. I need to connect the ground battery cable to the block. I know that under a head bolt is the most common location, but I'm not sure which one to use. I have head bolts, not studs, and I don't want to drain the antifreeze...

I could have done that, but I didn't like the way it looked and that I would have to redo the plumbing for the fuel line and both vacuum lines. It was fun to do. Most things on this project have been. I've got a build thread over on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts site, if anyone is interested...

I have been restoring a 1951 F1 for the past 3 years, trying to keep it mostly stock. However, the PO had made a number of modifications that I had to work with and around. The PO had changed the intake manifold and carburetor to all Edlebrock, using the High Rise Aluminum Manifold and the...

I haven't measured it to see if the spare will fit, as I don't have the spare or the mount at this time. I will have to get them before I get it on the road. One thing to note is that I had to add a crossmember under the cab to hang the system from. I also picked up a couple of brackets that I...
