Hello, Considerating going to a dual master cylinder on my 57 T Bird. I have power brakes with stock 4 drum. I can do the swap with non-power brakes but it seams to be a bit more involved with power brakes. As you know the power unit is a stand alone in front of the master cylinder as stock. It...

The front oil pan/crank shaft cord seal is leaking. The pan is not a problem but the upper seal may be a problem. Any tricks to threading the cord up and around the shaft? I know chevy v8s were like this and am assuming its the same for the flatheads.

I am doing a rebuild of a ford starter and have removed the 2 brushes that are held on by screws. Now the other 2 are crimped on by heavy duty tabs. What is the best way to bend these tabs back to remove the brushes? They are are quite "stiff". I have tried several times to bend them back...

Finally got the 59A started. The high idle problem was the throttle levers were sticking a bit. Got the timing and dwell set correctly. BUT the engine over heats quickly to over 240 degrees on both sides with electric fan running. I`ll list what has been done so far in the cooling. 1. 50/50 mix...

I found a 59 block that has a re manufactured tag on the one piece bell housing on drivers side. It was done in Boston Ma and has a code # stamped on it. There is an A stamped on each head. There is no 59 anywhere on the block. It has a 2 piece oil pan. I was told it came out of a 47` truck...

Whoever was following my post post about engine not idling down, well the engine is toast. Having a difficult time finding a 59a. Was wondering if the cam in the 59a would fit into an 8ba?

Looking for a rebuild-able 59A bare block. In New England area if possible.

Before I can find a vacuum leak to deal with the high idle, I have another problem. I mentioned earlier that I had antifreeze coming from the drivers side exhaust. I checked the torque and found it to be right on(60 ft lbs). I then took the head pipe off and found the center tube wet with...

Started the flathead yesterday. Got the timing on TDC and 30 degrees of dwell but the idle will not go below 1800 rpm. The idle screws are are backed all the way off. If I turn the distributor before TDC it wants to stall. The temperature wants to go above 220 degrees but thats another issue...

On 8/10 I started a post on setting up the distributor, and TDC using a Chevy distributor from Bubba. Well I tried starting it up but have spark to the points but nothing at the plugs or coil. The entire ignition system is new. Any ideas? I turned the motor over and did not see any spark at the...

I have asked this before but time has passed and need my brain refreshed. I am ready to fire up the flat head with a Bubbas Chevy mechanical advance and need to know points(dwell) and TDC settings. First question: 1. Does the rotor need to be pointing at #1 on the cap? 2. And if...

There are (2) plugs on the drivers side rear. I was told that they were 1/8npt but the plug is larger. Does anyone know what size it is?
