Mike, Thanks again for your help. I could not be more happy that this leak can be fixed for a $10 part. I was imagining a week under the car replacing the oil pan! The picture you sent is the same looks the same as the catalog pics. thanks also for the tip not to use teflon tape (I would...

https://www.fordbarn.com/attachments/500937/ Not sure I got the photo attached properly, but I am almost certain it is the engine oil pressure sending unit.

I found the cause of the leak -- it seems to be a gauge next to the oil filter. Oil is spirting from the gauge. I tightened it, but the leak is the gauge itself, not the threads. I looked up on ebay and found "engine pressure gauge" which looks to be the part. Or perhaps it is the oil...

I recently purchased a 55 T-bird. When sitting, there is no oil leak, but when driving, the oil leaks out in a continuous stream of drips. What is the most likely cause, and best fix for this leak. (I still need to clean the undercarriage and get the car on jacks so I can check, but thought I...

Thanks for all these suggestions. I was able to losen the steering column which gave access to a screw on the top of the key/steering lock. I removed this screw (which had a spring in it). In addition, I took out a screw from the bottom of the lock. After removing these two screws, I used a...

I put my 33 Ford on display and the people somehow locked my steering. I do not have the steering lock key, which is also gives access to the ignition. In the past, I could just turn the ignition on/off with the switch, so it seems the key position was unlocked. Now the switch position seems...

I hope I attached the two files correctly; these are two pictures of the carburetor, one from left and one from right. Does it look like correct carburetor? I am trying to figure out what the two screws do at the base. I assume one is for fuel and one for air, correct. But which ones?

Does anybody know of a good "how to" video regarding adjusting a single barrel carburetor, V8 engine for 1933 Ford? Thanks much.

Thanks very much!

Thanks very much. The car has roll up windows and a cable going to the latch, so the car must be a Cabriolet (and therefore not need a handle). However, did the Cabriolet have the greyhound hood ornament?

Dear Ford Friends, I am restoring a 1933 Ford Roadster (I am not sure if it is a Deluxe or Cabriolet). In some ads I can see the rumble seat has a handle, in other ad pictures the rumble seat has no handle. Can somebody tell me the correct configuration? Handle or no handle? Thanks! Mike

Hey Ford Friends, I am replacing all the fluids in a newly purchased 33 Ford project car. What is the best modern day replacement for transmission gear oil? Thanks much, Mike

Thanks again -- any recommendations where I can find interior horn parts? I have checked Macs, Speedway, etc. and do not see any horn parts.

Thanks very much for your replies. This is very helpful!

Dear Ford Friends, I am restoring a 1933 Roadster and was wondering what the horn should sound like? For those that have a 33 Ford, does the horn have the Ahoogah sound (like the 28-31 Model As) or the beep sound? Thanks very much for your help. Mike
