Appreciate it....this is a Canadian engine...so, I;ll have my buddy ( his engine ) look into this if it has the two drilled oil holes.

Can 8BA con rods with insert bearings be used on an earlier crank...59AB. Are the oil holes on the crank compatible with the 8BA rods. Thks.

rotowrench....very informative also. many Thanks. The lever has been ty-rapped because it was decided that the lady who owned/had this Deuce built, would not use it at all since she never drove it very far. It is not because something had broken. We are dating back to 2002. I was just informed...

40 Cpe Appreciate the input. Yes, all I want is to turn it on at higher speeds and off when getting off the hi-way. Much like my Columbia 2 speed which uses a vacuum to operate. Press on the clutch and either switch on or off. As you mentioned, using the simple way, I run a 12V wire to a switch...

Need help here. Have this Borg Warner R10 OD unit installed on the torque tube of my '32. A lot of beautiful work has been done to mate it to the TT. On the passenger side there is a centrifugal switch that works on the principle that at a certain speed, it can make the OD available. ( so I have...

koates......I will be looking into what you have stated. This gen has been converted to a two wire config. arm & field. I hooked it up to an auto mechanical gauge voltmeter with no indication of charging. Also reversed the A & F wires with same results. Just to make sure if the voltage was not...

I purchased a '35 Ford generator ( fan mounted on pulley ) converted to 12 V. I use a '56 Ford 12V voltage regulator for this setup. The volt reg was sparked to polarize and the wiring is all correct. I have another Roadster with this setup, and all works great. On the '35, I just cannot get it...

Thanks DavidG.....I no longer have to scratch my head on this one. My present solution is to have spacers and longer bolts to hold the tail light mount in order to make it work. It would place the tail light out farther ( a bit ) than normal, but....who would notice or care. Thks again.

How does one bolt the right hand side tail light bracket with the step plate bracket in place as shown in the photo.

Got it from Gil Granucci a while back....same as he has on his restored Coupe. The center port dumps in the pan, so there it was/is. I am waiting for some feedback from him on this topic.

Here are pics of my original Beehive filter unit.

Probably discussed before, but need to know either from past discussions or how can you help me at this time. Appreciated. I have an original beehive filter and need to hook it up to a 59AB. I believe new repops are different. What parts are needed to make this work.

Thanks Mart.....I believe your final statement will become the 'Bible. "If I were a betting man I would say each one does match a standard fractional dimension. I'd go with 9", 10.375 with 32 degees offset. 10" 11.375 with 32 degrees offset 11" 12.375 with 32 degrees offset. I'd trust that...

Thanks Brian, so we can accurately enough say that the bolt circle is at 11.375 for the 10" PP and the paired holes are at 32 degrees. When I used the caliper to measure between the holes, yes, some differed by a few thousands also, which can explain the differences. Ford usually used pretty...

Thanks guys for all of your input. Thanks also for the X & Y drilling, but, at this point. I am also assuming the circle diameter is at 11.375. ( eyeballed on my template ) Here are the c/c dimensions I took of a 10" Ford PP. The hole dia. is 0.312, and the c/c distance between the paired...
