I am going through the same issue. Here is the only "original" '36 style I have come across, from BrassWorks, which has the recessed area in the top tank for the fan...

I believe you are referring to Louis Trinque.

These parts are from a 1940 Coupe that was restored as a high-level driver about 20 years ago, but 5 years ago was retrofitted with a "conventional" rear end and suspension. The two shocks were rebuilt by Louis Trinque and function as they should. The two brake drums are 12 inches inside...

Based on the receipt, the block has a fresh bore that should finish at .080 over, with a bit of honing, right? If so, the block is almost ready for rebuild at that oversize. Since there is an option to make an offer, I wouldn’t hesitate to start at $1000 if ALL ELSE checks out.

You will need to change the pitman arm, I'll have to look up the correct number for use in a '35-36 with later steering gear setup.. __________________ Bill.... 36 5 win cpe Which pitman arm should be used with the later steering gear when it is installed in a 35-36? There was a post...

Found one, thanks.

In 1997 I purchased a car with an out-of-state title at the New England Early Ford V-8 meet, held at Shirley Airport back then. It took me 6 months of hoop jumping to register the car in MA, which was my state of residence at that time. I moved to NH a few years ago and it took me about 6...

I just sent pictures to Glenn, which collectively illustrate the parts shown by Don as a working assembly. After inserting the key, I push inward on the assembly while turning to release the tension on mechanism so that the tabs will retract. Essentially, the locking mechanism is under some...

I could do that. From what perspective would you like a picture?

I had seen Paul's car at various meets in New England, but didn't meet him until last summer at the Loring Timing Association land speed races. He arrived in his AV8 with his young grandson as “navigator”, and I immediately realized that only a very big-hearted person would do such a wonderful...

Fresh bearings and cups for an early worm shaft, including the upper cup B-3553. All are NOS except the lower cup (3552), which is a relatively new Timkin USA. The first picture is showing the steering box, but please note that the worm and sector are essentially junk. The second picture shows...

There is a recessed “hump” underneath the dash that is designed to allow access for the top stud and nut attachment of the speedometer. Gaining access to the speedometer attachment is pretty simple, but the trick is understanding the arrangement. Please feel free to contact me directly and I...

Don't you think the travel of the rod is entirely dependant on the lift of the cam lobe? Changing the relative difference between the top of the rod and the fuel pump lever relates to the degree of interaction between the rod and the lever.

Thank you for setting this up so well.
