I guess I like the '40 best because I have one and I cut my teeth on a 40 deluxe coupe as a teenager. I'm sure that experience made me the technician/educator that I am today.

I echo what deucemac says. No problem with Harley switch using silicone fluid.

Ron, you are the gear head uncle I never had. Good luck in your venture.

For the life of me, I can't comprehend...."Be sure to relieve the tension on the pressure plate by placing wedges between the arms and the cover. This will prevent warping the cover and reduce the chance of chatter" Or "If wooden blocks are still in the plate will they fall out when the clutch...

I thought that bracket looked familiar. My 40 was disassembled when I got it. Just went digging through boxes and found the bracket with masking tape around it with a question mark on it. I will be installing it today. Thanks Ford Barn!!!!!!

Mine wants to know if yours can come over and play.

As I daily read the Ford Barn but rarely post, I would like to thank Brooks for the advice on the LED flasher. It worked! Uncle Max for his carburetor kits and tools. And all the others whose knowledge helped me put together my 40. My question is, who can you personally thank but have never...

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Mine cost the six years of my life between 03 an 09 to find and restore, with my father the 40. Many trips to Overton NV then Hurricane UT before he passed. PRICELESS

I'm 55

Thanks for the replies. I do have the correct voltage to Skip's coil and a ceramic resistor as recomended by Barners. It just hangs under the dash. Thinking about a condenser on the turn signal circuit.

I'm done lurking:) 1. My ballast resistor is hanging and of course glowing red. Would I get better heat dissipation if it was mounted? 2. My electronic turn signals flash normal with Key On Engine Off. 12 volts ....sorry Ken.... But with KOERunning they flash very erracticly. Some sort of EMI...

I too will enjoy your knowledgeable posts. Like a lost uncle found.

I went to rattlecan alley and took in the cluster to match. I used a roll of pin stripe to try to look original. It's not quite right only we know. Everyone else loves it. Guage decals were used. See the picture in my only album....
