Looking for the seat back prop assembly for a 1940 deluxe coupe. Can't find where they repop these and my coupe came with a stick to prop it up. John quiltsnwoodies@comcast.net 603-520-9931

Oh boy, an anchor pool! Haven't dived into one since Uncle Sam and I parted ways. Okay, 5/20/14 at 0600 EDST.

Lord, I have started watching Home and Garden TV! Let us hope for HAMB fix soon. And Ron, I am driving mine too, only sprinkling up here.

Thanks Tom, appreciate it.

Sorry to hijack the thread somewhat but it is at least one from this year. New to Model A's, never had one before. Now I have a '31 pickup. Is it normal to "see" the gasoline level in the bullseye when tank level coincides with float/gauge level in the tank?

Can you swap the front end of a '40 pickup to a '38 pickup (both 1/2 tons)? Are the cabs the same?

I have guage in one side and a vintage Moon mechanical screw in on the other. Of course got to open hood to read that one. But my Inst and Control retiree friend put thermcouples on each time with readout in the front seat for a couple of days and my banks track and read not that far apart.

Other than the "cutout" on the front, are '50 and '51 ford passenger car hoods interchangeable?

fellow club member has ramp truck and scraps. He found '52 Ford that had been sitting for many years in a field, hood on it and closed. Amazingly the motor was free so I took a chance. Hell, it passed magnaflux and pressure testing at Dave's Machine in Fitchburg so I am building it now for...

Preview is tomorrow, $30 to look at about 100 cars and then neon. Went to big advertised car auction in Florida and only paid $10 to see many more cars. This is a high roller event.

Hey Bob, many thanks.

does anyone have the measurement of the angle (in degrees) of the carb flange on a stock 8BA intake manifold? I don't have one and need the angle for a project. Thanks.

Have to laugh, the younger generation is baffled by a normal flathead, used to ask us why the motor in the rail had four plugs and three exhaust openings so this should totally blow their minds!
