    1958 FE intake utilizing 4100 carburetor, vacuum leak at base

    Have a 1969 390 here topped with early 1958 machined chamber heads and matching 1958 4 barrel factory intake, but we are using a 1961 Ford 4100 carburetor in place of the Holley that would have been on a 1958. Finally got it running last night and realized there is a vacuum leak at the base at...

    390 no spark issue

    Have been around points-equipped Fords for decades and never had this much difficulty getting spark.. 390 has new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, condenser and battery/cables. No spark. Ground wire inside distributor to points is fine, though I had also switched that too when nothing else worked...

    Modifying Butch's SBF to 54-58 Ford Engine Mounts

    I am trying to install a 1970 351c with 400M exhaust manifolds in a 1957 chassis. First I installed Butch's SBF mounts to see how it worked. Engine sits far too high. Probably 4 inches between pan and crossmember. Then I tried a pair of the 63-64 Galaxie repro mounts. That made it sit too low...

    Disk brake factory setups on 56 Ford or Mercury?

    I am having to tear apart front suspension and will replace control arm bushings incidental to crossmember repair. (Entering the dreaded realm of "while I am at it, I better replace this too...) I ordered new 1956 control arm bushings and ball joints, but am wondering whether the spindle and...

    1957 or 1958 convertible top metal parts

    Anyone have a front header bow and/or the top of a 57 or 58 convertible windshield frame? I picked up a fairly complete 58 convertible, but a tree fell on the windshield and front header. Although the car itself is too rusty to fix, the convertible tub and most convertible parts are there. I am...

    51 Ford tail light cast quarter trim

    Anyone got any of these? Even a crappy but structurally sound one I can use for a pattern to make some? Would rather not have to, but everything I have seen indicates they are either super expensive or pitted to the point of absurdity. Does not look too difficult to build from sheet metal and...
