Great ideas! thanks for the help. I sealed up the bolts since I don't have the right length studs, but the first time I have to remove the headers ill use studs to replace the bolts. (3/8 and 7/16 unc)

I just fired up my 1988 French block flathead (4-71 blower) 3-3/8 x 4-1/4. it sounds wicked (400jr cam). Everything was going good until I noticed water dripping from the header bolts. I probably should have left the studs in the block but I don't like metrics. I forgot that the exhaust bolts...

I did not bench bleed the master cylinder but when the brake fluid gets down about 1/2" from cap it stops leaking like "oldscouts" Pontiac, but I've never had this problem before so I'm going to re-bleed the system and re-adjust the shoes. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks for the input.

Someone prior to my ownership put 40 brakes on my 33 coupe, the problem is after installing a new master cylinder and bleeding the system, fluid leaks from the vent hole in the cap (squirts from it) after pumping pedal. (looking back I think the old master cyl was probably ok cuz it was doing...

Thanks Allan

on a 6V positive ground system do you attach the hot lead (negative battery) to the + or - side of the coil and why?

Thanks all for your response

Do the new Bob drake running boards fit?

Thanks again for your help, I'm with you, I'll just rework the tin a bit for clearance.

Hope these photos work. (my first try @ this)

The back rest is correct, its hitting the tin part where the tin screws to the triangular wooden gusset at each end of the wood strip. If it would help maybe I could post a photo.

Thanks for your help, do you know if the backrest fits tight against the wood strip where the tabs slip over? My seat backrest hits the vac cylinder covers on each side before it reaches the wood strip but it will fit tight without too much effort. It just seems like a wear area for the upholstery.

How does the rear seat back rest clip to the wood strip behind the seat, also does the back rest fit tight against the wood strip? Thanks for your help.

Is there a system for pre-adjusting the top bows on a 40' convert to get the proper clearance around the windows before the fabric is installed? My 40' is the late style with adjustment screws on each side. Thanks

Does anyone have photos of the vacuum lines and how they are routed from front to rear in a 1940 ford convertible for the two vacuum cylinders that operate the top? Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know of a seat mfg. for replacement seat frames? Thanks

looks like the 26/31 windshield seal will work good, it fits a bit tight but the round bead looks good and makes a nice seal.

I did purchase a vent wing kit from Drake but the seal that was in the kit was about half as long as it needs to be if it is to wrap around as you indicate. I did find some material that might work that is windshield material for 1926 to 31 windshield frame seal (closed car). The cross section...

On the 40 convert there is a rubber seal strip that seals the wing window frame to the door where the frame passes through the door slot. Does the seal wrap around the wing window to seal the outside as well as the inside or if not, how is the wing window sealed on the inside of the frame...

Thanks Kerby
