Could you please tell me where you found the pressure plate adjustment post you were looking for as I too have the same issue. Many thanks.

I replaced the head on my engine and after the distributor was placed down in position I attempted to install the distributor locking screw and find that the screw will not turn or screw all the way in to reach the distributor base. The screw appears to be tapered and the hole in the head's...

Thanks all, a great help.

Can someone please clarify for me if the head light bars for Model A's are all the same size or are there differences between the 28-29 models and the 30-31 years. Thanks for any help.

Great help fellas, once again I thank you!

Thanks guys for the clarity on the issue. The bellhousing in dmsfrr's photo is for truck application but for which transmission? 223 or Y block?

Thanks Dave for your quick reply and direction. Most appreciated.

I have a bell housing and flywheel cover for a 1955-1956 F-100. The bell housing has a Ford Number TBAA-7505-A. Both are in good condition and I am curious if there is any interest in them. I believe the bell housing is factory drilled to accept a 223 6 cylinder engine or a Y-Block V-8...

Great feed back from all of you, thanks much and any additional thoughts are most welcome.

My error, sorry. 1955 Ford F-100.

I am giving very serious consideration of replacing my old and very tired 223 cu.in 6 cyl. engine with something more modern and efficient. I believe that engine swaps like I'm thinking about have been done a zillion times and there are many proven examples that folks have enjoyed. I don't...

Thanks Rotorwrench, I believe that you answered my question. I have one of each!

I have a bell housing off a 1955 Ford F-100 that has the casting number: TBAA-7505-A. My question is, was this bell housing made for the 1/2 ton pickups or was it made for the 3/4 ton models? Interchangable? What other information can I learn about this bell housing? Many thanks for any help.

Thanks Flathead for the tip as I did not know there was a difference in the bell housings, F-100 to F-250.

Thanks Flathead 53, more helpful information. I came across John Mummert's webpage and he adapts the bell housing to accept the T-5 transmission bolt pattern and I plan to contact him regarding his ability to do the same for the T-170 RTS. He is located in Southern California at phone number...
