Thank you! Will do!

Ha! Believe it or not, I enjoy driving the Model A just as much as the 328. Maybe because the Model A is so much cheaper to maintain...

I need some folks with experience/expertise to help guide me: I have had my 1928 Tudor for approx. 2 years. The car is an older restoration (70s or 80s) but in overall good shape. I have attached a picture for reference. The next project is to address the Clutch Chatter. The Clutch...

Vehicle: 1948 F1 Flathead V8 I am the new owner of a 1948 F1 truck. I have noticed that the Battery Gauge reads "Discharge" when the truck is driven. The truck has original style generator and i'm constantly having to charge the battery and the truck lacks power when given more than 3/4...

Thank you! This is very helpful information!

Gentlemen: I recently acquired a restored 1948 Ford F1. The truck was recently restored by the previous owner and we purchased it from his Estate. We know the 239 Flathead V8 was recently rebuilt, however, we don't have any information regarding when the vehicle was last serviced...

Rechecked the battery connection. Confirmed that it is Positive Ground.

I did hook the generator back up and No fuses were blown. I then replaced the alternator with another positive ground 6V alternator (thinking the 1st alternator was bad) and still have the problem. I will continue to search for a short somewhere but geeze...doesn't make sense!

There was only 1 post available. See attached photo for reference.

My generator started making noise from the front bearing. I am going to keep the generator and rebuild it. However, in the meantime, I purchased the basic 30-35 amp alternator conversion kit (6V positive ground). Before replacing the generator with the alternator, I kill power to the car...

Just use a “bolt extractor” and replace? I have this fear that the stud in the engine won’t come out and/or a torch is needed. Gulp.

While having a new radiator made, I decide to clean up the motor and repaint a few parts. I pulled the exhaust manifold off, clean and repainted,etc. I then reinstalled the exhaust manifold. I reinstalled the exhaust manifold with new gasket. While torquing the nuts to the manifold studs...

Can anyone help identify where this muffler came from? It looks to be a factor style muffler in both size and dimension. On the bottom is Serial Number: "H2F301". Searched Google and nothing pops up with this specific number. I've included a picture. Thanks! Brent

Should be 3/4 inch. At least that what mine is.
