Hi All, I have a question I am hoping someone can help me with. A friend of mine is in the process of rebuilding a 1940 flathead engine which, as originally built, did not have any adjustment for the valves. The current tolerance (I hope I am using the right word) is 5/1000 but the manual we...

Thank you all for your input and pictures of the horn I need to find for my 1938 Ford 1/2 ton truck. I have also been searching the net for any picture of where the horn should be placed on the truck. I found one picture on the net that shows it mounted to the inside fender wall on the...
