deuce lover What size 16" radial tires did you use?

I have a large logo 97 that looks like it has been rebuilt sometime in the past due to how clean it is and it looks like it has been yellow dichromate refinished. However, upon disassembly I noticed that the bottom part of the venturis where it slides into the cast iron base has corroded at...

My questions are about the comparison between the 9" and the 9-1/2" clutches The 9" clutch is just the typical clutch that was used for many years that used a standard Long style pressure plate. See the link...

Does anyone know a current good part number for 3-5/16" Piston Rings (0.125" oversized) for the ~42-48 pistons. I have a set of aftermarket three ring pistons that uses the older ring package that was the same on the factory Ford pistons in 42-48. I need a set of rings where it has 3/32" top...

The NGK B4L plugs in it now are the short reach plugs. Longer reach plugs definitely would not hurt.

Yes, the power valves have the gaskets. The pump arm is in the S-position. I need to check the float level. The Mallory is mechanical only

Yes, genuine original older Stromberg carbs. Good idea here that I had not thought of. The TDC mark has not been verified. Would if the mark is retarded and timing is too slow, then it will not ignite the fuel quick enough to burn it all during the power stroke? Can TDC be located with a...

59A Flathead that was built by someone else. This is what I was told that engine is internally: 276 ci Isky 400 Jr cam. It has a bit of a rough idle so it seems like it is a 400jr cam or least something comparable since I can't verify the cam without going into the engine. This is what I can...

Update on full specs on a Winfield 3/4 regrind. Forgot to mention earlier that the lift numbers I gave are net lift as in taking into account lash. That is how Ed Winfield gave specs, net lift, not gross lift like everyone else. Winfield 3/4 regrind...

You have a genuine Winfield cam. You can tell this by uniform block lettered stamping of the "WINFIELD" which is smaller than the numbers stamped below the distributor drive slot. It is his 3/4 grind. It is difficult to read, but on the lower left you see a "3" stamped and slightly below and...

From what you describe so far, this is not a genuine Winfield cam and the 59 means nothing along with if there is a 5T on it. What makes you think it is a Winfield cam? It is most likely a copy. A picture of the cam gear end of the cam and a picture of in-between the lobes will make it easy...

Does anyone still sell new aluminum press on gears or do you just have to search and hope to find a good used one or a NOS one?

Is the tractor starter the same as the automobile starter? From pictures, they appear to be the same starter motor. If the starter motor is the same, then is the Bendix the same also? The reason I ask is you can still buy new starters for tractors in your choice of 6V or 12V.
