Running a '48 59AB in my 36. Have a fairly new mechanical fuel pump (not sure where made, but it appears to be a good quality pump). I have a formed hard line between the pump and Stromberg carb and a fuel pressure gauge t'd off it. Seems it used to run 2-3 psi last fall, but now is down to 1...

Parts have been sold. Thank you.

1935-48 Ford 6-Spline V8 Banjo Rear End Open Drive Conversion Kit. All parts like new. Speedway #9191105, $286 new. Ran less than 1000 miles and went in a different direction with the car, banjo rear ended up coming out. The paper gasket for the housing is missing but you can use gasket...

These came out of my 36 five window. I’m guessing they were reproductions, but I don’t really know. If anyone needs them as a template, I’m happy to ship them at your cost. I’d suggest cutting them in half cleanly to make a smaller size package. If someone wants them as is and really wants to...

Great video. Thanks for the feedback. More work to do. The real issue is the setup sold for open drive conversion. There's no way to mount the front point of the radius rods high enough because the driveshaft is there. I can't be the first person to have this issue. The advice I've seen...

After a few months, most bugs are worked out with my 36 coupe. Runs great, good fun. One challenging issue is a pesky drivetrain vibration problem. As speed increases this becomes more and more noticeable. I am running a T5 trans, new professionally fabbed driveshaft, '36 banjo rear, transverse...

I’ve got a set of 4 16 inch tires sized 195/80R16 in like-new condition. 15 years old, so not too trustworthy, but great for sizing check, roller, or car you drive very little. They are narrow and tall and were on my 36, pretty close to the original tire size. Obviously local pick up is...

Update! At my age, I should know to ALWAYS suspect the last thing I messed with. Just prior to this issue cropping up, I built a new fuel line between the pump and carb to add a regulator and gauge. Everything was clean, but not clean enough. Upon disassembly of the carb, I found some very...

I did some searching on the forum as I troubleshoot a problem with my 59AB, but looking to more savvy flathead folks here to help me solve this issue. First, everything is essentially new on this H&H built motor that I acquired. I am running 12v negative ground. All new wiring. All new fuel...

The 37 pickup is close, and very, very helpful. Thanks for sharing! However, there's a slight difference to my '36, or I am just not seeing the video detail the right way. To get the regulator to rotate past its normal range so that the window/channel assy can be removed, there is a small...

Bob, PM sent. Thank you

I could post pics here, but it takes 5 times longer

Will this type of 49-53 intake manifold work on a pre-49? Presuming that I would maybe need to block off the 8BA oil fill hole? Or could I use it on my 59AB? https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Speedway-1949-53-Ford-Flathead-V8-Dual-Carb-Intake-Manifolds,184019.html Thanks! Pat

I used existing firewall thru bolts to fasten a 3/4" thick piece of plywood painted black on upper left inner cowl. I used similar 9+3 harness from Rebel. Make a thorough list of all lights, switches, etc that you plan to use then be sure to add wiring and grounds while laying out the panel...

I have removed all my interior door trim to replace a cracked door glass. Is there a procedure published by Ford to properly remove and replace the glass, or can anyone provide insight or instructions to complete the job? It doesn't look too complicated, but always good to know any tips or...
