Will do.

Thanks for the replys, I can see whats involved now. I dont have any access to club pullers in the UK, but I dont see why we cant come up with something using a bearing separator. I will let you know how I get on. Apologies to Abone for messing his thread up, I hope you fix the stiff steering.

Thanks Bill, you certainly make it sound easy!!

Dick I have a very saggy front spring on my 32 Tudor (V8), and have had it in the back of my mind to find/make a new spring. I have had springs re-set on other old cars I have owned, but found they all too soon regress to their old saggy form. Even though the steel is re-tempered during the...

I am going to do this job on my 32 Tudor. I have searched the forum briefly and not found a post which "walks" the reader through the process from beginning to end, so I will try to do a good job with photos etc. I do not have a steering wheel puller, so something will have to be made to do this...

I think the rubber bearing in my Tudor is toast. How hard is the roller bearing to install?

Mike, would it work if you just put a check valve between the original Ford pump and the carb? Then the fuel never drains back, and there would not be a problem with the old mech pump running dry? Seems alot simpler than all these elecric pump solutions, or what am I missing? Cheers, Tom.

They like to pull you in with a low estimate. Most are on no reserve I seem to remember.

Probably more T and A, but some very nice V8s too. http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25077/?department=MOT-CAR

Im with Drolson and DrBrown. The wiring on a Ford is very straight forward. (I suppose my 32 was maybe a little more basic?). I bought a wiring loom which was excellent quality and it came with very clear instructions. Mine was split into 2 parts, basically behind the dash and under the hood. I...

I bought a Stark Power Li-ion pack, which is very small, about 7 inches by 4 by 1 1/2. So small can now be carried under seat for emergency start. It is 12 volts only, but works a treat on our standard 6v Model A. BUT, I made the mistake of cranking for too long and it melted one of the leads...

I noticed your post about the ignition lever being reversed. I wonder if somebody in the past has replaced the bell crank on your manifold the wrong way up. This would reverse the direction of movement. Dont ask me how I know this! Post a photo and it will become clear. Cheers for now, Tom.

The great advantage of the relay whatever the current draw is the better electrical connection in the switching process. Not so much with 12v but still may be worth considering if you are using the original Ford light switch.

Make 2 of these: cut a piece of 3/4" id tube about 10" long and weld over an old spark plug. Weld a 6" long piece of same tube to the top to make a T, which is the handle. Screw each into front and back plug hole, you can rock them to break the seal, and then use them to pull the head.
