    My 1934 Ford Has A New Home

    Today my 1934 Ford is on it's way to Maine. A few months ago my wife and I decided it was time to pass my grandfather's 1934 Ford onto the next generation. I sent an email to all my Casey cousins asking if any of them were interested in the car. Among others, my cousin Peter called me to...

    Finding a list of issued tools on a 34 Ford

    So "Henry's 31" got my curiosity up. Behind the back seat of my '34 Fordoor sit a number of tools that have been there for 50 years and I never paid much attention to.

    Starter Switch Questions 34 Ford

    The rod from the floor button to the starter switch is threaded into the starter switch. Should the rod be unscrewed before the bolts to the switch are undone or the other way around? Once its unscrewed from the switch is the rod free to be pulled up through the car floor? Finally, can the...

    My '34 Won't Turnover

    I'm back to Florida and my '34 has been sitting in the garage since mid June. I've never had an issue with the engine not turning over until the other day when I tried to start the car for the first time. I take the battery out during the summer. I charged it and put it back in the car...

    '34 Ford Hood Latch

    The latch on my hood (the one closest to the firewall on the passenger side) is frozen in place and won't move down that 1/2 inch or so. It doesn't move at all. I can't figure out if somehow it broke or its so tight that I can't move it but I've put a lot of pressure on it so I suspect that it...

    Light Bulbs for 1934 Ford 4 Door

    Does anyone have a list of correct numbers for the light bulbs of the '34 Ford 4 door sedan? I'm not sure I can trust the numbers on the ones that are installed now. For example, my headlight bulb is a GE 32&32c 6-8 volt Mazda 1000, the parking bulbs just says "W 63", brake/taillight says NGK...

    A&L Parts Specialties?

    I found a number for this company online (8606930112) but it seems to be a fax number. Does anyone know if they are still in business and if so what the correct phone number for them is? I found their name from a post back in 2012. I need bulbs for my '34 Ford. For the headlights I have a...

    1934 Starter Wrrrrrr

    I had my starter rebuilt less than a year ago. Lately its been making a wrrrrr sound sometimes when I try to engage it. Sometimes it starts right up.

    34' Gas Tank

    Its time for a new gas tank for my 1934 four door sedan. The old one isn't leaking but its been on there for almost 50 years. I searched back in the threads for a couple of years and found lots of information and opinions (new vs refurbish ect). It seems to me from what I've read here is that...

    1934 Starter engaging....sometimes

    My 1934 Ford has been sitting in the garage all summer waiting for my return. I'm back and tried to start it today. Sometimes the engine turns over and sometimes the starter just "whirrs". The next time I try it, it might turnover or not. The starter was rebuilt just this past March. What...

    '34 Ford Starter Removal

    This is probably a basic question for you all but not for me. I have to remove the starter from my '34 Ford. I did it many years ago but of course with CRS I don't remember how to do it. Is it just the two bolts that I see on the face of the starter? Does the starter just come straight out...

    Which Fan Belt '34

    I haven't changed my fan belt in 24 years. It still looks good but since I'm doing some work on the car I want to get a new belt. The one on there now is a Dayco Top Cog Gold Label 22570GL. A google search doesn't find the belt. The number has probably changed over the years. Anyone know...

    34 Radiator Petcock-Where is it?

    I would have bet anything that my 34 Ford radiator had a petcock to drain it but I can't find it. Am I not seeing something that IS there? Or was there never one on it? In a previous post someone suggested removing a bolt at the bottom of the water pumps but I believe they were...
