99Z7 set sold. 91K76 available. $20 for the set + shipping. P.M. Me if interested.

Gary, Probably a stupid idea on my part since I'm not a diagnostics mechanic (I can only wrench and do a bolt in replacement) but years ago I worked running HVAC equipment and natural gas lines. Upon completion of the install we pressure tested the components and looked for leaks using a simple...

Great story. Can you post some pictures?

There are several similar ones on eBay right now. This one has the threaded input shaft like yours. The other ones listed have the smooth shank. The handle attaches as shown in the listing. Looks like a beast and heavy duty. Built to last...

Much like the door to door vacuum cleaner salesman in a sales slump. Goes out for a drink with another door to door vacuum cleaner salesman. Asks his buddy, "how are sales going?" Buddy replies, "well sales lately have sucked but business is picking up." (insert groan here)

Re: Info for ‘42 Super Deluxe Sedan Being retired I often search Craigslist auto parts. I ran across this yard in Kansas advertising in Missoula Montana among other Midwest areas. Click on the link below to access it. I know nothing about them but at least it's a possible lead. Can you post...

Weird. I copied and pasted the link to the Motortrend article in post #4 and now when I go to open the Ford barn this icon shows. Any ideas why this occurred? Edit. I just reopened Ford barn and now the original icon shows. Weird.

Here's but one of numerous reports. Just do a search. https://www.motortrend.com/news/edelbrock-moves-to-mississippi/

Thanks everyone for the replies and help identifying it. The fins are in much better shape than the one in my avatar '32. There is a beautiful indentation where the fan hit it at some point in its past and it will weep a bit. How would I go about testing this one for leaks and proper flow? I...

It took an extra day to get some photos due to our seasonal rain and wind storms but I was able to get out to the garage to get these pics. I looked and could not find any numbers. It looks very similar from what I can see to the radiator in my avatar '32 but can't tell for sure. At some point...

Maybe, but to my eye it's pretty rough. I haven't inspected it closely. I'll have to post some pics and let you experts give me an opinion. To be sure if someone were to have it restored it would be expensive, but destroying a piece of history is not in my mindset. We shall see. I also know that...

Thanks Alan, I'll have a look. I don't like being a pest to figure out what Dad stashed over the years but as Sgt. Schultz says, "I know nothing". Dad never tossed anything even if it was junk. Probably will post some pics if I can't figure it out. I just don't want to round file junk that...

I was just researching voltage conversion on an unrelated project and there are many converters that are compact that will transform 6V to 12V. If you already own the air heater and are not concerned with originality it may be your most effective option. Just go to Google and type in 6V to 12V...

Did Ford put a visible part number on radiators? I have an old radiator that has been around for as long as I can remember and I'd like to ID it. It is in rough shape to my eye and I don't have the Green book in my possession right now to source a part number and unless I can find a number...

Thank you very much David! There's so much junk in the garage and me being ignorant I'm hesitant to make assumptions on all these parts, many of which I don't know what they are and more I have yet to exhume.
