I search for a dual carb intake for a Ford flathead, 8BA or 59AB style. No generator mount needed. There must be laying one somewhere in your shelf. Let me know - thanks!

A fellow Ford friend has a 33 fire truck with the 4 cylinder engine. The engine idles fine but hesitates to rev up when he pushes the pedal. He has to push very slowly to overcome this and get the engine to rev, feels like the accelerator pump is not working. I don´t know this carb, he says it...

Hello all I am preparing a set of flathead waterpumps and would need the bearing/shaft only. Shaft diameter is 0,6263", bearing 1,181", length of bearing 1,531", front shaft around 1", rear shaft around 3" length. Does anybody know a more modern vehicle that uses similar dimensions. Of course...

Hello Yesterday I did a little round trip over the swabian Alps and the Danube valley. Stopped at an airfield as usually there are old planes to be seen. This time the P51 Mustang "Louisiana Kid" was circling the place when I parked and I took a couple pics - what a sound of that mighty engine...

I want an oilpan for 59AB motors. Let me know what you have - thanks.

Hello I am looking for a blower for my next flathead so placed a wanted ad here. I got a response from a fellow barner but it is not what I wanted ( I am looking for 471 or Weiand, B&M) so I let you all know. If someone is interested I can give you the contact. Here is the reply I received: "I...

Hello maybe someone has a 371 or 471 Detroit Diesel or Weiand, B&M blower in the shelf. I am looking for a supercharger for a 255cui engine. Let me know what you have - thanks.

Hello I am looking for a blower/supercharger for my flathead V8. The Detroit Diesel blowers would be nice but a Weiand, B&M or anything else suitable is desired as well. I can make a suitable blower manifold but if you have something in the shelf, let me know. Thanks!

Hello Barners went for a little trip yesterday with the 34 Tudor. My buddy is always riding shotgun. This time we went to a Locomotive shed where there are several steam locs and other early railway vehicles, some working, some getting worked on. The only road to the shed leads along the rails...

Hello I need two Bendix springs for the flathead starter for V8 cars and trucks from 1932 to 48 or probably even later. The part number is 11375. The spring has 7 windings, the material is 3/8" across and has 3/8" ears for fitment. I could use a complete assembly as well, need 10 teeth. Maybe...

Hello folks while sorting out my old genuine starter from the 34 Ford I found the Bendix spring is broken. As the starter is 6V and the car now runs 12V I thought about an upgrade and found this...

Hello Due to my supercharged engine in the finishing stages I am thinking about better brakes. The drums are in good shape, almost new and correctly arched shoes, operated hydraulically but I think I could get a little more braking out of them if I convert them to a floating motion a la Bendix...

Hello My source for french parts has dried out. Now I need a set of main bearings for the 255 (4,2 ltr) engine and a set of conrod bearings as well. Crank and bigends are std size. I have found out that 59AB bearings up to 1948 should be what I need but maybe some of you know better - if so...

I have several pumps here with the modern waterpump seal with a spring loaded ceramic ring, riding on a carbon ring. I have not found any instructions, how much the spring should be tensioned. The seal assembly allows a maximum of 2mm extra pressure. Should I assemble with only 0,5mm or go up to...

Wanted: 33 or 34 speedometer for my Ford. It would be nice to get a working unit but I need at least a face plate. Maybe somewhere a used speedo is on the shelf waiting to get used in my car? It must not be perfect, i might be able to do neccessary work to get it going again. thanks, Harty

Hello where could I get a black km/h speedo face for a 1934 deluxe speedometer? I have repaired/calibrated my speedo and would like to keep the dash appearance more evenly with my black faced SW gauges. White lettering and correct division as the original km/h face would be needed. Or, if...

As stated, I need a grill in nice condition for my 34 Tudor. Thanks for any leads

Went with my 34 Tudor for a nice ride in the backroads of my area. Suddenly a little deer decided to cross the road. I hit the brakes instantly and missed him as he was already over the road when he decided to come back. Accident was unavoidable as he ran directly into me. The grill is smashed...

I am looking for the dimensions of the cone of the tie rod joints of my 34 Tudor. Mine are worn a bit and maybe I can find a more modern replacement where I would only need to make a new rod. Thanks for info. Harty

Hello my brother sent me a couple pics of a railbus powered by a Ford BB engine at each end, its called the T41 and dates from 1932. Unfortunately one of the engines is in bad shape and needs to be replaced. Now the question is where the railway guys could find an engine like this. The club...
