As a follow-up: I got around to making a list cover for the clutch-flywheel to mate the Speedway Motors adapter bellhousing with the GM Saginaw trans. I made a wooden form to fit. Then I made the cover out of metal to mate. Not show quality, but it works. Open clutch/flywheel/pressure plate...

They look VERY close to what I have. Same issues...

Original cross member is mostly gone. Driver's side has some of the original cross member with the new power brake booster and master cylinder attached to it. Passenger side has a remnant with the parking brake attached. New cross member is a square tube setup. I'll have to go take pic of...

Hi: I am mid-project on my '52 F1. It has a Saginaw (456) four-speed in it and the original rear-end (3.92). Trans is prior owner install, so I am using it. I am thinking for down the road the options to make it more enjoyable on the road. That brings me to overdrive units for better highway...

Hello: I have a '52 Ford F1 with a '47 Merc Flathead V8. It had headers on it when I bought it. They are a new production set, not sure of the maker. Thye have been modified to "work" with the setup. The driver's side center tube touches the dipstick and collector is within 1/4" of the original...

This is the first reference I've seen for the "glass bottle" used for windshield washers. I bought a kit from LMC Truck that has everything EXCEPT the glass bottle/jar. It isn't a Mason or Ball jar. What brand/type jar is used...

Sorry - clarification - the headers I have are tube, not cast iron headers. They look like a production set of tube headers. But have been "modified" by previous owner, poorly. I have seen 1-1/2" and 2" tube headers online for flatheads, but they don't get into clearance information for stock...

Looking for advice: I have a 1952 F1 with a '47 Mercury V8. It does not have the original cast iron headers. It has a new set of headers, installed before I bought it. So, brand?? who knows. But the problem is the header on driver's side touches the dipstick and is within 1/4" of the original...

I was exploring the dome light when I purchased a wiring kit from Ron Francis Wiring. They describe the original dome/courtesy light as "reverse" to what is now done. Originally the dome/courtesy light is operated by turning the headlight knob counterclockwise and it grounded the dome light. The...

I usually do use a VPN. I turned it off. I had to log in again. Found the post I want to reply to and...nope, will not let me. I noticed that this post/thread has an option below it for a "Quick Reply" with a Message box in it. The post I want to Reply to only has the blue box icon with a...

Hi: relatively new here. I have run into an issue a few times. I see a post and want to reply. But I get a "do not have permission" notice pop up. Example below and the notice I get. ?? I am logged in, I can search, I can post new threads, but some posts I cannot reply to. ? William

Here is the Parts Catalog images for the 48/50, 51, and 52 versions of the Magic Air or Fresh Air heaters. I don't see much difference between 51 and 52. The 53 is another animal.

This is the style I have - "Recirculating" means it does not have fresh air coming from outside. And the single dash switch had a voltage(?) reducer so you could run fan at full speed or half speed.
