Thought so, thanks guys.

Silly question, but on a 41, does the tank sit on the frame or "hang" below it. I would hate to sit it on the frame, replace body, then need to remove it for whatever reason. I know, I know, rookie move....I forgot how it came apart. Man, getting old........

Hey all, long time. Hope everyone is well. I am attempting to remove the rear door glass and regulator, of course having issues. Please help. How is the glass removed?? Thanks!

SUCCESS! It started and ran great. Thanks everyone for the help.

Dick, I do. I actually had it running for a few seconds when I had the kill switch wired into the ground. Of course when I opened the switch to stop the starter from spinning I shut down the circuit. That being said do you think the way I now have it wired will work. This is of course...

Terry, OH, Thanks. I have it wired that way you describe with one exception. The starter is wired via a on/off switch. Once the engine starts I open that switch. The coil circuit I have an alligator clip to the neg post running through the resistor to the coil. I clip that on just prior to...

Mart, Thanks. I am using heavy cables. I think I may have flooded it yesterday.

All, thanks for the help. In short, I am using 6V everything. I have the positive lead to ground on the block. The negative lead goes to the starter via an on/off switch. There is another separate negative lead going to the coil via a resistor. My thought is once the engine fires and runs, I...

Today I tried, for the first time, to start my 41 flatty. I do not have the entire electrical system connected, that is to say, nothing is connected. So here is what I have..... First try I had the battery to ground (positive) with a kill switch inline. The negative lead was connected to the...

I am getting readt to test start my 41 for the first time. A question I have is is there and do I need a ignition resistor between the battery and the coil. I plan on running a wire from the battery to the coil to provide power to keep the thing running, once it starts! Or can I just run direct...

I just installed my flatty into the frame. Not to difficult as I did it by myself, and had littleissue aligning the mounts with the holes and bolts. My question is, is there a needed way to align the engine on the frame. I know there is little wiggle room and a few fractions of an inch askew...

To all, I'll bird dog the 35!! It is in GREAT shape. I am going to contact the owner soon to take a ride. I'll take a nd post, if the owner doesn't mind. I would love to but now, but being in the middle of a build, I need my cash. Back to the heads, thanks for the tips. It is greatly appreciated.

First, I am looking for a way of cleaning out the crud built up inside of the cooling passages in the heads of my 41. They have been boiled, soaked, hot tanked etc.. I don't want to clog my new radiator with this stuiff. Any ideas? citric (spelling?) acid? Coca cola? Live with it?? Any help...

Thanks for the information. I plan on having the thing rebuilt, that should put everything back into place I would think. On the other hand, has anyone had any good or bad luck with the 6V starters from MACS? Or other suppliers?

Rebuilding a 41 flathead. I am down to the starter. When I took the thing off the car, it "sprang" apart........?/ Is it spring loaded somehow? Do I compress it together before installing it? I think I am going to have it rebuilt before I put it back in, I perfer original parts. Or, are the...
