On a 39 Ford there two pyramid shaped, compression springs that go between the door frame and the inside door panel. These springs are necessary to install the inside handle and the window crank. My question concerns the springs. Is the large end placed against the door frame or against the...

What are the rear end bells? Thanks for your response.

Are the clips along the bottom of the garnish like the clip along the top? I have the top and sides loose, but cannot budge the ones across the bottom. What am I doing wrong? Thank for your response. 1939 Deluxe Coupe.

What is the route of this rubber hose which connects to the metal tube under the dash to the outside? In other words, where does it exit the cab? Thanks for you reply.

Thanks for the suggestion but I have eliminated the lock cylinder as the culprit. After buying one from John McClure I installed it into the square hold you refer to by removing only a portion of the door panel. I can see the end of the square turning as I turn the lock with the key. Thanks.

Yes the inside handle works as it should. The problem is the key will not lock or unlock the latch.

Problem with lock on 39 Deluxe Coupe. The key will not lock or unlock the door. The key "feels" like it is working properly - it turns and stops at the appropriate positions but the lock does not move. Could the problem be with the linkage arm? Thanks for your input. Bill

What should the resistance be on disconnected spark plug wire measuring from plug terminal to contact on inner plate? Thanks so much.

Thank you for your reply. So the voltage drop to the desired 4.2 should occur at the Resistor, right? Thanks again.

I am trying to determine the cause of low voltage at the coil. (1939 Deluxe, 6 volt, 85 hp) My coil voltage is 3.1 and it should be 4.2 What should the voltage be at the following points: Ignition switch- battery side? Ignition switch- coil to Resistor? Resistor -wire from Ign switch? Resistor -...

Can someone post a drawing or photo of an IH200 condensor mounted to a crab coil. Thank you so much.

In the process of changing wiring harness and light switch at lower end of steering column. The old wires and switch at this juncture are covered in oil. What’s the problem here? Related question-Are the push-on connectors on the new harness sufficient to keep wires in place or should they be...

Thanks to all for good advice. I was able to order parts Al a carte from Van Pelt and Joe's at considerable savings from the quote from Egge. We are fortunate to have Van Pelt and Joe who specialize in Early Ford parts. They are great people to work with - like the good folks on this forum.

Frankly, Brian, I don’t know. It’s an 81A if that’s the answer. My Coupe is titled as a 1939 Deluxe. I find so many things common to a 38, I call it a 1938 1/2. It definitely is an early 39 based serial number. Tell me what specifically to be looking for, please.
