    1940 Ford trunk lid lock cylinder fitment issue

    The existing lock cylinder in my '40 Sedan is "iffy" and will eventually unlock if I jiggle the key around for a while - very unreliable and time to replace it. I had been looking for and found this NOS Ford trunk lock cylinder at a swap meet and the label was marked 01A-7043505-A...

    Anyone seen a water pump like this before? What's the story?

    Came across this water pump today at a swap meet. Never saw one like it before...maybe someone can enlighten me about it. Perhaps an early "leakless" prototype? No makers mark or logo, only the numbers shown on the last photo. I would be interested in knowing more about it. Thanks.

    A friend just bought a nice '56 Victoria and says the fuel gauge doesn't work. Using a volt meter, he checked the wire going to the tank sender from the gauge with the key ON but didn't show any current. With the key ON should that wire show current? I was under the impression the sender...
