An electric fan on an old Ford looks real stupid to me. Buy a copper radiator and run a mechanical fan. You should have no problems with Skips pumps.

I never buy something to sell. I never sell anything and my place looks like a junk yard. When the county comes by to complain , I tell them some peoples wealth is hard to hide. No body seems to complain about the 10,000 square feet homes which I consider architecture in your face. I love to...

Thanks for the information I plan to count the revolutions.

How and where is the rear end marked for the gear ratio? Do need to interpolate the code? A friend said that most Model "A" reaends are 3:78 ratio. Thank

I agree with with you Ron.

Dodge and other cars used a vacuum canister as a fuel pump. The vacuum was created with a venturi in the engine lubricating system. Wherever you have flow you can create a vacuum. I think Dodge used the manifold vacuum for the wiper system. I thought about installing one of those fancy high...

Maybe make some with the names like J C Whitney, Sears and Montgomery Ward.

The wax was probably odorless.:rolleyes:

Vic How old are you? Just kidding. The main thing is we both love flatheads. Some days I fell like I am 50 and other days I feel like I am 75.

Vic, changing a pump on a flat head on the road side is fun. Half hour of work and you meet a lot of people. I had a bad pump and had to have somebody blow into the tank to get it primed. Mrs Sturgis refused to blow in the tank and made some kind of sexual comment. I ended up changing the pump...

Ken CT can supply a good fuel pump. The stock pumps run real good when you buy a good one. When I see an electric pump on a flathead, I think a lazy parts man or bad parts supplier or a trendy buyer Your electric pumps are probably burning up because they need flow for cooling. This is just my...

If you own a stock Model"A" you can not be in a hurry. Just kidding. I love working on old Fords. Try changing a crank shaft pulley on a new car. They had a new Mini Cooper at the local gas station the other day with a bad battery. They called the dealer and the dealer charges $300 to change the...

I run a power house generator that i bought from Ron Rude. I love the look and it works great.

Re: Curious How many run a Temp Gauge & OR Oil Pres. Gauge POLL?? The v8 forum had a thread about tachometers. They said a 12 volt tachometer will work on a 6 volt system. The light bulb will need to be changed. I think I will buy a cheap 12 volt tachometer that will work on 8, 6 or 4...

This is good news. I wanted a mechanical drive but I think a electrical will be OK.
