I have a 24 stud flathead up to 48. It is not a 49 to 53 engine. Mine passes the so called pencil test and will hold a pencil in the area above the timing gear cover. So please tell me what means. I'm starting to be a little forgetful. Thank you very much. Jay

A friend of mine bought a 54 Ford Victoria from a junk yard. It came with a very rough but repairable nose . He does not have a computer and I'm not good with one. Now he needs to find the frame number. We checked but we do not know where it is. Does someone have a 54 shop manual, or know...

I have a friend that just purchased a 54 Ford that is missing the hood. I told him that I think a 52 and 53 Ford hood may fit, but I am not 100% certain. If someone knows the answer to this question, please let me know, and I will pass it on to him. Thank you. Jay in Mass.

I'm just wondering if someone has some pictures of flatheads where the bellhousing area broke off while they were bolted to an engine stand. Some say that it is OK to do it to the 49 - 53 engines. Just need to show someone the pics because they think that it is an old wives tale. (I don't)...

When I pull the emergency brake / parking brake handle it does not stay in position. I have to reach below it and push the little lever into place to hold it. Apparently there is some sort of a spring that engages it. I am requesting where to look for a diagram of the parking brake lever...

I'm looking to purchase a stock radiator cap for my 1940 Ford. I would like to have an old one in good working condition for not more that 4 lbs. Not sure what other year caps fit it. My car is a driver and has the stock flathead. I'm not interested in an off shore modern one that's made...

Just quick question. Does a Y block fuel pump fit an FE engine and vice versa? Seems like we did that back in the old days but the memory is fading. Just wanted to know for sure before I pass this on.

Did anyone take any pictures that they can post?

Last night I saw a quick news flash of a two tone 56 Ford that had water all around it. It looked like it got jacked up onto stands before the water came in. They only showed it for about two seconds. Hopefully it did not get damaged and that it does not belong to one of our Fordbarn family...

I know that this question has come up before, but I can't find it so here it is again. When bolting 1935 spoke wheels onto early 1940- 1948 Ford hydraulic brake drums, it seems that a spacer ring has to be placed on the brake drum studs. Is that ring placed on the outer edge of the studs or...
