Thanks.

I finally got my Burtz engine today. It is going in my 32 model B. I am a newbee to this cars and missed something important. My old clutch does not fit the Burtz flywheel. The old flywheel is resessed, the new is flat. What do I need? (it has the B oil pan and flywheel house)

mcgarrett, looks nice, thanks for the replay.

Can anybody recommend a brand of water temperature gauge that will look nice as an addition to a standard 32 dash?

Thanks for your informative answer. (as allways) I have already come along one more angeled fitting, on the cover for the universal joint for the drive shaft. I will try to buy the fittings in Norway, if that does not work out I will put it on the long shopping list from the US.

Thanks for the reply. I agree Gran Canaria is great for ******* driving, especialy in an old Ford. I live in the south, but have been driving in the mountains. Now I am waiting for my Burtz engine.

I want to replace the grease nipples in my 32 model B. Can someone please tell me the size and thread type? How many straight and how many twisted do I need?

I intend to use my 1932 B Cabriolet as a semi-daily driver. The car has a rumble seat, that I intend to keep. So luggage space is limited. I am dreaming of a rear mounted trunk, but the car has a rear mounted spare wheel. Any suggestions??

Thanks 19Fordy and marko39. I will see if it possible to get hold of the Corn Head Grease here in Gran Canaria.

What kind of grease shall I use for the u-joint by the trans on a 1932? I read in the Ford Service Bulletin for June 1932 page 25 that they prescribe "a lubricant composed of cylinder oil, thickened with sodium tallow soap." ??

David Berkeley. Thanks, I will look closer on the top bow.

DavidG Thank you for the response. I would appreciate a copy of the intallation manual very much. As a newbee, I am not allowed to send PM. My email is: surreveps@gmail.com

Thanks for answering. The horizontal padded pieces are permanently attached. How are they supposed to be attached? How can I remove the hood?

I have problem folding the hood on my 32 Cabriolet. I know that it will not fold compleatly flat, but mine sits much to high. There is a pillowlike flap that runs from the front header bow to the bow over the rear window. This bulky «pillow» interfears with the frame. May I remove this flap? Or...

Sorry but I am not allowed to send PM or e-mail. I am building a Burtz engine for my 1932 Model B, and I am interested in your stock looking crowfoot head CR 7:1 Please contact me on einar.dueland@gmail.com.
