Friends, Any idea whom I can contact at e.g. Ford to get info about my 1936 V8 Fordor? Engine and Chassis are matching with a 18 xxx number. Former US-owner does not reply. I'm in Germany. Every idea welcome. Bernd

I looked it up but NO.... I assume that former owner put a new ceiling in and side panels and but did not reconnect the light or put the switch back in. Right between the B pillar and the ceiling I can feel something that seems to be a lose cable :-( Probably something to sort out later...

Hi community, The dome light doesn't work (haven't checked the bulb yet). :-) Just general... is there a switch to turn it on, can't find one at the ceiling or does the light switch on with a door opening ? Yeah I know... stupid question, I confess it it easier to ask the experts than...

... and the winner is Charlie ny :-) Lever was bent due to lose screw. All well ! Thx all for your help. Bernd

Ok, looked at my car and yes the screw does not sit on the throttle cam. If I got you right it has to, yes ? What confuses me most is that I have not had the problem yesterday and have no idea why it is misaligned or bend today. Bruce, thank you for the link, I'll do my best.

Dear All, Thanks for the detailed info. I'll try tomorrow morning and let u know...

Hi Guys, Took my car out for a longer drive today. When I started I right away noticed that the Choke does not work. Mechanical connection from dashboard to the engine seems ok. See pics. What can it be ? Thankful for help. Bernd

Great, that definitely helps a lot. Thank you for all your efforts!

Wonderful guys, thank you very much. Amazing how much know how and helpfulness you offer. BB

V8COOPMAN Yes that's the one I purchased. BB BTW: ordered from MAC but part was in Drake box.

Dear All, My 1936 Fordor has no windshield regulator, the previous owner just installed a threaded rod with a handle. Now I got a regulator from MAC to bring the car back "original " and thought it is easy to install 😌 4 screws and done.... Well... the MAC assembly is to large/ wide for the...

Dear All, Thank you for all the information. Now I know that the part I'm looking for is called boot 😊 and where I can get one. Spring is in in Germany, I take my car out to my first vintage car show on Sunday. I'm a bit excited 😉 Have a great weekend.

Dear All, Is it normal that I can see the road through the brake handle area? Should there be a cover or so? Can' t find a part at Mac or Drake.... Greetings from Germany. BB

#1. still smells at bit fuely while driving, but I guess that is the nature of the age. #2. the crank is there and the thread bar as well... but the windshield regulator itself is missing... already ordered one. BB

Thank you, I sent them an email.
