Thought this trouble shooting post from my ‘57 might be a good addition to this thread on ‘57 Fuel Sender: Thanks again, dmsfrr. Had good power to the sender and was pulsing as it should. Continuity checked out as well. Tank was well grounded. However, when attempting to measure resistance...

Thanks again, dmsfrr. Had good power to the sender and was pulsing as it should. Continuity checked out as well. Tank was well grounded. However, when attempting to measure resistance, could not get anything but full scale reading on the V/O meter so decided to remove sender. Basically...

Thank you, dmsfrr. Gauge has been intermittent and sluggish to show full after filling the tank. Now it shows empty till a right turn is made then it will read at 1/2. Going to look at the connections tomorrow, check for voltage , and while there, check the sender as well. I have the “Fix...

Really nice that a vendor would take the time to call you back. Question for you. Would like to get the ohms resistance for the fuel sender at E and F for the '57 TBrid. Or would you please direct me to where I can find these values? Greatly appreciated. My best, Test

The main reason for this car is to use it to cheer up my Dad. Recently his wife of 68 years suddenly died and the 50 Ford Club Coupe was his (their) very first car. Thanksgiving was the reveal to my Dad. He had forgot he gave me the license plate off his car some 25 years ago so it was a...

scooder, Blu Dice, 51 Merc-CT: Appreciate your response and knowledge on the distributor/intake manifold. If the distributor on this engine is not set up correctly, then will be (as suggested) really pleased with the correct set up since the car seems to runs well with lots of torque. Not a...

Yes, you are right. It is one of those with an "I" ending Marque. This one is a 456 GT. 12 cylinder front engine 2+2 car. Not an in your face Ferrari, but one with some elegance and lots of go... In it's day, was the fastest production car in the world save for the F-40. Please excuse the...

Thank you, Sir! Car is on extended loan and treating it like it was owned. Thanks for your note. Have greatly enjoyed reading your many posts on this board. Appreciate your response to my questions. Test.

Have spent some quality time on the site reading about these flat head engines. Tried to search for the differences between the 8ba (or is it b8a?) and the 59ab. As described earlier, this car has a Merc engine (where it is to have the 4" stroke) also has the thin water pump pulley...

Thank you.

First question: What oil filter to use in the canister? Second: What is the oil replacement quantity in this engine? Thanks in advance! Test.

This one...... Eventually....... Best, Test.

More pictures of the box on the '32. Looks like to my untrained eye that the box has been shortened due to the gas filler neck being removed and other "tack welds" here and there. Then, I suppose the box might be from a different year since the gas tank in this truck lives under the seat and...

TJ, Thank you for taking the time to post. Seems to be the consensus on fixing the truck up and put back on the road. So, back to the mechanical brakes: Change to juice or get the OE working? I think you have a good eye, ora master. I'll take some better shots of the bed today and post...

Thank you, Kahuna. If I let mine go for $5K, think there would be a hole in my heart. Thanks for the comments, 47 flatbed. Good to read you are committed to keeping the history alive for these fine old trucks. Appreciate the technical information, columbiA. I've wondered about the gears...
