1940 Bombardier B7 snowmobile. I know, not a Ford, but between 1937 and 1943 Bombardier built 154 of these machines. All of them came with the flat head Ford V-8. Some before 1940 had floor shifts, all later ones had column shift. Bombardier used 1934 Ford steering columns and 38 Ford...

Got the same problem with mine but it is a rebuilt motor with new valves and guides. Started it up 2 weeks ago and ran it up To temperature and it ran fine. Started it up today and it had 3 exhaust valves stuck. Pulled off the intake and it bent the guide clips. Having just fetched up I am...

Found one. Thanks for the help.

Looking for a shift handle only for 1940 3speed. This is for the column type shifter. Thanks.

Posting for a friend. Looking for another baffle tube (the tube that goes around the fuel pump push rod). This would be for the cast intake. Also looking for the upper and lower clamp that holds the shift column to the steering column on the 1940 Ford. Thanks all for the help.

E-mail sent.

Looking for the oil tube that goes around the shaft that drives the fuel pump. It is the one that us under the intake manifold. I believe this just diverts the oil directly to the pan, rather than spreading it out over the camshaft galley area.----thanks, Frank

Sorry, www.lumbermansmuseum.com

Walt, I think the Lombards you are referring to are at the Lumbermans Museum in Patton, Maine. I was there about 10 years ago and I think they have 3 of them. I believe they were up in the Allagash region of Maine between Chamberlain and Eagle Lakes. I don't know if you have ever been up to...

Go to your local air field with a gas can and get 5 gallons on 100 octaine low lead airplane fuel. Drain out the crap gas in your tank, put the 100 in, start it up and run for 15 minutes, shut it off and store it. No need for any additives. 100 octaine has a shelf life of 3 years.

One the other hand, I had ordered a new carb for my 40 and it leaked bad so they said they would ship another one. In the meantime I took the one that leaked and soaked it in gas, tightend up a couple of screws that were not real tight and put it on and it worked fine. I had receive the...

Looking for a 1940-41 heater switch. My heater is dated December 1940. This is the type that reverses the motor for either heat or defrost. Thanks Frank

Thanks Walt, I'll give you call. Frank

Looking to add a remote oil filter to my 1940 flat head. Need to make sure I plumb this thing right. There is a port to the left and right of the oil sending unit. I assume one is a retrun, but not sure which one. Viewing from the back of the block there is one to the left of the sending unit...

Thanks for all the help. As you can see on my avatar, the motor actually goes in my 1940 Bombardier Snow Bus. It came stock with the flat head. For pics go to google and put in Bombarder B7. thanks again--great site.
