When I insert the key into the trunk lock, is it supposed to turn full circle? It unlocks at the usual spot if I carefully stop but it can be turned all the way around. It stays locked if I pass the magic spot.

Can someone measure their 292’s dipstick. I’m sure mine is too short. The one I have is only 21” long. Oil barely shows on the tip of it after a refill of 6 quarts for an oil and filter change. I realized something was off when the my usual oil drain pan was nearly full. There was probably...

Cool meme found on another site. Looks like an old FE.

I bought this air cleaner so I could use it on my 56 Fairlane after changing the manifold and carb. The air cleaner is supposedly from a late 50's or very earl 60's Ford product. It fits the Autolite 4100 carb perfectly. The problem is I can't find a filter for it. The filter I think I need...

Is there anyone that makes reproduction seat belts with the correct style mounting brackets for a '56 Fairlane? I've found originals but the price seems outrageous just for the brackets. I just bought a really nice '56 Town Sedan and I'd like to add belts so there is a little more safety for my...

Hello everyone! I'd just like make an intro. I grew up in a family that mostly had Fords in one form or another. I've also had a lot of experience with Fords back in the late 70's up to the mid 80's while working at a small shop in So Cal. While they took in anything with wheels, they did get a...
