Need help with my 47 mercury, just had my seats re-upholstered and am ready to Install, but see that there is a “riser” that the seat sits on, it must be clearance for the power too pump and electronics. Does anyone know where to get one or the measurements so I can make one? Also, it looks like...

I am looking for interior quarter panels for a 1946-1948 Mercury or Ford Convertible. Picture attached below. These sort of enclose the convertible top when its down, goes in the back seat. Thank you in advance, send me a message or email [email]leslehman@gmail.com

1931 Ford Tudor Sedan, 4 cylinder Banger Motor, Standard Shift 3spd, Mechanical Brakes, Updated Interior, Carpet, Good Glass all of the way around, everything works. Rebuilt Carb, new parts, Nice old car. Its a true survivor, same owner since the 60s. Starts, Stops and Runs great! Asking...

hey Bob, what kind of grease do you recommend for the shaft, and kind of oil do i put in the oiling cup, just engine oil or 3-in-1 or something?

I think we are on the same page, the hole on head the distributor slides into, there is a large bore than a smaller one that the shaft spins in, just wanted to clean it out, the wire brush would do it, was thinking more like honing but I think a wire brush will do the trick, thanks, sometimes we...

Ok so I made some progress, many people offered tips on what issues I may have and options for repair. Quick backstory, my engine was cranking with no binding or odd noises but distributor was not spinning. Thought maybe bad cam fiber gear, bad shaft gear, shaft tab, etc. Well, turns out the...

OK, will continue to soak, so there is nothing but crud holding it in at this point? Cranking on the puller will do no internal damage correct? Should I pull the side cover to watch progress? Sorry for the questions, never had a distributor problem an any of my As, this new one is causing some...

In the set screw hole but nowhere else, where should I spray it? At the base of housing or inside of housing somewhere? Are you saying with the tool I will break the housing regardless? So if I really muscle it, I can't hurt anything? I just need to break its seal?

So I got the distributor puller, threaded it into the shaft, removed the screw on the block, then started to slowly tighten the nut on the puller, reached reasonable torque than pulled back. How much is too much? What else can be holding it in? Or am I just babying it? I am afraid to break...

I too have a stuck distributor, ordered the tool, but quick question...If the engine and crank turn freely when trying to start and distributor is not turning, is my issue more severe? Or is that typical? Seems to me, if the distributor is stuck and not spinning, it would bind when engine turns...

I really only need the header and the sides, so I am trying to save a few buck and buy seperately, already way past budget. Trying not to have to buy the whole kit, anyone have any pieces or a kit they don't want?

Ok, so I have a 1927 T, it has no drivetrain, but will need inspection by highway patrol or dealership for title transfer. Is the VIN anywhere else on the car but the motor on the OLD Ts? If not, how will they inspect?

I know we aren't allowed to solicit the sale of a title or whatever, so what would you guys do to get one for a 1927 t here in ohio? Anyone want to trade for one or donate one? Love to get a 27t pickup back on the road but have no papers. Any ideas?

Mine is a 28 tudor

Where the drop column mounts to the gas tank there are two rivots that hold it on, well a very small weep is getting through, enough to smell a small amount if fumes, probably not as safe as it should be. Anyway to fix this? Can it be sealed from inside or something? Seal-all on the outside not...
