I have a set of c91a heads which I guess would be 1939 vintage. The water inlet is thin and both heads have what appears to be threads on the outside of the water inlet. maybe to help hold the hose on better. Also have a what I believe to be HC set C7RA heads.

Re: 1947 Mercury runs, doesn’t move axle key sheared?

where is it Pete?

You will need to get the fragments out of your oiling system prior to running that engine again.

Didn't know cars with a hinged accelerator pedal had footrests

What car is this in. If its the 33 then someone has shortened a 47 up tt and ds. 33/36 had hollow tube ds with no bearing in the center.

I have never had a driveshaft held in a torque tube by the bearing, all of mine rode on the bearing at a specific point on the shaft machined to fit the bearing. Why not just turn the TT upside down with the fitting looking down or even to the side...............

What transmission are you planning to use, if it does not match dimensions of the original, you wil have to butcher the x member. Then there is the torque converter............

If its been setting, there is a good chance the sediment bowl/container gasket on the fuel pump has shrunk and is leaking also check the flex fuel line.

2,9,and 8n ford tractors have the same pump

One for the earlier three and two bolt dist.

I have a set missing the "tree" that holds the distributor. If anyone has one, sure would like to buy one.

have a new core installed. They are produced by dimension, not make. It may be hard to find a shop that installs cores.

I have two 34s I set up using the original vac cyl and the shift valve and cable from a 50s GM two spd trk. They work quite well. I mounted the push pull cable and button right on the gear shift levers.

There are two types of lifters. One has a standard thin head on the bolt and the other has a thick head. The thick head lifters are meant for reground cams the other for std lift and tractors.
