I recently put my 1937 ford back together after removing the rear end to change gears in the rear end and to replace the clutch. Everything was going just fine until today. When I got into the car today to back it up and put it into reverse I let the clutch all the way out and the car did not...

I have a 1937 Ford v8 with a r-10 borg Warner overdrive. I have noticed a cap that is over the govenor. See photo. There is also a plug on the side. Are both of these to put oil in? Is there no way to drain oil out? Dave Goodwin

I have a 1937 ford Sedan with an 85 hp engine but it has a Stromberg 81 carb on it and I think they were normally on the 60 hp engine. I’m pretty sure the engine is 85 hp because it has 21 head bolts on each side and I heard the 60 hp engine only has 17 head bolts on each side. Will an 85 hp...

Have a 1937 ford that won’t start so I removed the distributor and I think I found the problem. The wire that goes to the coil on the other end of the wire there is a carbon piece that makes contact with the rotor. I put a meter on continuity and put one lead on the end that attaches to the...

I have a 1947 Ford Super Deluxe V8 that starts and runs smooth at idle but when accelerated it runs more rough and hesitates. Does that sound like an electrical issue or fuel ?? The car is 6v positive ground with points and condenser. Dave

I have a 1947 Ford Super Deluxe and the Generator got so hot I couldn’t hardly touch it and then it started smelling and then started smoking. I replaced it with a rebuilt generator but it still seems to be getting hot so I stopped driving the car. Any idea what is causing the generator to get...

I have 1930 Sport coupe with a 1928 engine and it runs rough and hesitates when accelerated. I did a compression check with the engine warm and it is 1. 60 2. 55 3. 55 4. 62 The carb is a zenith and was rebuilt. The valves have not been touched on this engine so wondering if that is the...

Does anyone have a photo of what the pans look like installed?? I can’t figure out how they go in. I think the side with the tabs goes to the oil pan side. One of the pans has a U shaped cutout which side does that go on. Is it the steering wheel side? Does the larger end of the pan go towards...

I have a 1930 sport coupe with hydraulic brakes and I believe it has a 1939 backing plate. There is a gasket on the rear hub that I have not been able to find from any of the vendors so don’t know if it is necessary. The first photo I attached shows it in its normal position and the second photo...
