Sold!!! Thank you FordBarn. Time to sell Molly. Molly is a 1930 Town Sedan with the Murray body. She is a really beautiful looking car. The paint is very good. All steel except the two rear fenders, which are glass. The roof was redone by the previous owner and is excellent. All the...

Thanks, that's what I thought. It is a one piece.

Hi- Hopefully this comes thru. I put an arrow on the spot I'm wondering about.

Sorry, I mispoke, the pin is in the drive gear housing.

Hi- Quick question. I noticed on the oil pump drive gear, there looks like a drift pin. You can see it in the picture located on the right side, third spring wind up from the bottom. Does the distributor drive shaft just fit over that? Or is it pinned thru the shaft? I tried tapping it not...

No, the shaft does not turn in the chamber. And to WHN, yes I have pulled the distributor out. The shaft in the distributor and the shaft in the chamber are both frozen. I haven't messed with the distributor yet. Yes, the car ran when it was parked but it has sat for a long time now. My...

Hi- Yes motor turns over with crank and valves open & close. Been using PBS on it. Will keep at it.

Thanks everyone. I may start a new thread on what I go thru to get her running.

Hi. I'm in Falmouth.

Thanks everyone. I guess I knew the answer before I asked the question. I purchased the car because I love old Fords but it gradually got used less and less as I had other "stuff" to do. Now I need the space or a bigger garage.

Thanks guys. I agree, if I was looking, I'd want it to run. Will go thru the gas, oil, points, etc.

I have a very nice 1930 Town Sedan that I want to sell. The problem is that it's in my garage and hasn't been started for at least 7 years. Should I try and get it running before I post it up for sale? Or has it sat too long? It does turn over with the crank and I have put MM oil in each...
