    Holley or Stromberg carb.

    Has anyone used the aftermarket carburetor that replaces the Ford 2 barrel on a 52 F1,2,3 ? When I got my truck it had a Stromberg on it. I have tried several different carburetors of the FORD type after rebuilding them with no luck. I need a carb that works. I want my yard art to move. Thanks.

    Has anyone fitted king pins to a 1933 BB Ford truck? This is the big axle, not the pickup. Does anyone have an axle set? Thanks.

    1934 Ford 1 1/2 ton Truck Awaken after 70 years

    I rescued mine from Great Falls MT. It died in 1963 from it's last tag registration. #3 rod came undone. It now has a 1951/52 EAB flathead in it. Tight fit at the radiator. I use Zep Industrial floor wax on the body to keep the original patina as close as possible. Good luck getting the fuel...

    OK most of the listings for exhaust valves look to be small block chevy valves. Does anyone make a real Ford style valve still? Do 8N Ford tractor valves work? They still show the shoulder that I am looking for. Thanks

    The valves that came out have a shoulder near the valve head. The shoulder stops the valve from pulling too far into the guide while the unit is out of the block making it a little easier to clip the guide in place. The valves I see in the market do not show this style of valve. Any ideas?

    The engine that has been fitted to my 33 Ford BB truck is an 8BA. The stamped number on the block top is 32SF114492. The engine was rebuilt by FOMOCO in Boston years ago. Has 10 over pistons and 1 slightly burned exhaust valve. I overheated it and blew head gasket. My reason for asking is that...

    Who's gonna fill their shoes?

    I met Ol' possum at Collier Jaguar in Orlando. He had a Jaguar that we worked on and if I remember right he lived near Lakeland at the time. Of course the tag on his car was "No Show". He was a fine Country Gentleman and a pleasure to talk to.

    Adjusting Fuel Level in King Seeley Gauge

    Well at least mine was stained green on the glass tube when I took it out. Maybe it was more of a turquoise color. Anyway it will be a contrasting color to the temperature gauge.

    Adjusting Fuel Level in King Seeley Gauge

    Chip at Straight Eight says the green and red fluid have a spg of 2.98 or 2.99. So I think it should work. Maybe green will not fade? I replaced a bad capillary line and cleaned the gauge reservoir since the line was block to the glass tube. Next week we will find out if it works.
