Ordered Cheers!!

Wow! Worked, not like a charm, but good enough to get enough separation to rock the head to get it past the studs. Now head is off, not crack found in block, gasket looks pretty good though one center water jacket and one perimeter metal ring separated from gasket upon removal. Pistons each...

Ok, head bolts off and head doesn't budge. In a different post it was suggested to leave plugs in, loosen head nuts a few turns and run the starter motor.... head pops loose. The theory seems reasonable. How about in practice???

This is what I have for each pump. Poke bulb through firewall grommet, bulb slips into dummy plug hole, attached sealing nut threaded right in with no adapter needed ( though 3 sizes included). Secured sender cable to plug wire tubes ( I used black zip ties).Works to my satisfaction. I do not...

Lol! That's a thing? Thanks! I suppose the Google will be my friend. Cheers!!

Greetings, At some point, my grandfather installed a Fram (?) oil filter canister on his '34 Fordor deluxe. I have a number of filters, but the intake and exit hoses are suspiciously hard. Are there specific replacement hoses available, or does one just "find what fits best"? If specifically...

I removed the belt and upper hoses and filled block with water. Unfortunately, the right side bubbled and spit vigorously after about 2 minutes. Left side started to bubble slightly but stopped after right side went nuts. I have one copper gasket. Unless one can give me a reason to wait for a...

Sounds reasonable.... I'll do the hose removal test this weekend and report back. Cheers!

Lol! Thanks all! Found and Ordered. Cheers!

Greetings, I need to replace the anti-rattle felt and forward vertical channel in my 1934 Fordor Deluxe Sedan. Numerous calls to the regular parts houses come up empty for kits. The forward vertical channel seems easy enough to source. However I am having difficulty sourcing the the body window...

My 34 Fordor Deluxe has an elastic rope weaved grab "handle" on the back of front seat and similar material broken short handles attached to the rear C pillars right and left. What are they officially called and where might one seek to find a pair?
