I installed a 12 volt starter in my 36 and I want to reduce the RPM so the Bendix drive doesn't hit the flywheel so hard and reduce the noise. I am sure others have this problem.

If you are running the original coil it has an ignition resistor that cuts the voltage to save the points. Test the output of the resistor while the ignition switch is on and if it is less than 3 volts it probably will not start at all or very hard starting. The one Mac sells isn't good, what...

:mad:This lock is underneath the spare tire case hubcap. I have an ignition and door key that will fit but won't open the lock. Which key is it, and any suggestions as to making it work. I have used lock oil but no luck.

Do you remember what you paid for it?

Can you identify my bronze Ford key ring as to its source and if you have ever seen one like it?.

Can't find this spring anywhere! Does anyone know if there is a reproduction made or has one I could purchase? I have a Club Cabriolet but assume all 37's used the same trunk lid spring.

The new modern 6 volt coil from many vendors including NAPA do not identify (internal or external) resistance. How can I check which it is? I am having some trouble starting my 37 especially when it is hot. I wonder if this could be due to too much resistance (coil & resistance block under dash).

REV THE ENGINE IN NEUTRAL AND IT MISSES. i HAVE REPLACED THE COIL AND CONDENSER. I ALSO, CHECKED FOR LOOSE CONNECTIONS OR COULD IT BE CARBURATOR FUEL PROBLEM. IT RUNS FINE AT IDLE.:mad:
