I agree, I bought this puller and it is a very precise piece of equipment. It works to.

Solidaxle, I’ll share my experience with you. I rebuilt the trans in my 39 Coupe shortly after I purchased it. It would grind always going into 2nd. I bought VanPelts book, great info. I spoke to several people in the know. I used parts from VanPelts and a supplier here in Canada. I replaced the...

demingboy, One thing I will mention above all the great info you have received. I pulled the trans on my 39 Coupe thru the inside access panel. Once the rear trans mount bolts are removed, you will have to jack the back of the motor up quite a bit to get the trans to clear the crossmember. Once...

Re: 15” US Smoothie wheels for sale BLEMS Sold

Yes, that makes sense that the extra wire would go to the tach. Sounds like you are on the correct path, with the coil. I was thinking that with the car sitting so long, maybe the carbs could be gummed up inside. Good luck. Beautiful looking ride.

I have a 1963 Ford Galaxie and need rear end axle bearings and seals. Where do you folks order your parts from. I’m in Ontario Canada and cannot find anyone local. I don’t mind ordering from the U.S. Thanks

Thanks Stretch, I’ve seen those type, but I’m going to need new perchs anyway, that’s why I’m looking at the other kit. Tom

Folks, Just wondering if anyone is using Speedway Motors front tube shock kit? I see it has the wishbone to axle pinch bolts. I am replacing the front axle on my 39 Couple cause the king pin hole is oval now and of coarse I effed the threads on the stock pinch bolts, so I thought now would be...

Welcome John. That will be very cool when you complete it. There is a wealth of knowledge on the Barn. Don’t be afraid to ask. Take care and good luck.

Folks, Just wondering what RPM everyone is turning at 50mph. My 39 is turning 1500 to 1600RPM at approx 50 mph. I don’t know what the rear axle ratio is. I thought it seemed low, so I connected up my MAC tester tach and it reads the same as the tach I installed. 🤔

Thanks, That’s what I got as well.
