Turn signals have been working fine for years and suddenly just quit. No signal lights or emergency flashers or pilot lights. Checked inline fuse to switch - good. Checked power to flasher plug - good. I use original cowl light bulbs for the front, LEDs in the rear, and an electronic flasher...

Did a lube job and noticed this on the right front shock. The rear shock arms have a clamp bolt arrangement to retain them but this looks like it was swadged on. Is this repairable, or do I need a new shock?

I have a 35 ford with the original engine, which is still running well, but showing low oil pressure and excessive wear in the oil analysis. I have an opportunity to buy another engine. I need your help regarding the identity and specifics of the replacement engine and the suitability of this...

35 Tudor Sedan. Depending on my clutch technique, I sometimes have some minor chatter when starting out, more so in reverse. A friend suggested that I need to adjust the ant-chatter rods. I looked at the rods and they appear to be fixed with an eyelet at the rear X frame adjustment and at the...

I have the window moulding, indoor side panel, and regulator removed. When I replaced the front door window, I was able to tilt the top of the pane in and pull it in and up to remove it. That doesn't work here at the back side window as I run interference either at the front or back depending...

I am trying to remove the rear seat side panel so I can replace the window. This is replacement upholstery, not original. The armrest is attached to the body structure, through the cardboard side panel where my finger is pointing in the second picture. There is no apparent access to any...

Two newby questions: The low element of my right headlight is out. I released the spring latch on the bottom of lens but it will not come off. Am I missing something? I tried rotating and pulled pretty hard, but no joy. My dome light doesn't work. I need to remove the lens to access the...

Pictured is the jack that came with my car. According to the picture in the 35/36 Early V8 Book, it is part 48-17080-A2 variation made by Noblitt Sparks. I figured I'd try it out for the first time in the garage to be sure it worked, rather than along side the road somewhere at a future date...

I'm thinking about installing a Wolf whistle in my 1935. It needs a vacuum source for power. I have two vacuum ports in my intake manifold. One for the distributor and one for the windshield wiper. I'm thinking about putting a Tee in the wiper line. Probably would not use the whistle when...

The remote door lock spring is missing from my right door. I have a new one, but it appears that to install it, I would have to bend the keeper tabs on the mechanism and remove and reinstall the pivot/cam. Someone please tell me I'm wrong and there is an easier way! I attempted a similar...

I have the right passenger door inner panel removed to replace the window, which I am in the process of doing. I do not have a key that fits the door lock, so I figured I would just replace the whole lock with a vendor supplied one and it would have its own key. Problem is, I don't know how to...

I have the 1932-1941 Shop Manual Service Handbook which is a reprint of a Ford Canada publication, the Ford V8 1932 to 1936 Engine & Chassis Repair Manual, and the 1935-36 Ford Book from the Early Ford V8 Club. These are all very good but not as much detailed engine information as I would like...

My door handle failed to spring back to the horizontal position and the door latch didn't extend to keep the door closed. I removed the two screws in the handle, the two screws in the jamb, and the screw under the door panel but I can't remove the latch because the square shaft on the handle...

I bought a 1935 Model 48 Standard Tudor Sedan. This is my first early Ford V8. It is very clean and has been owned and maintained by the same family for 46 years. According to them, it was restored in the late 1980s to include a professional engine rebuild on the 21 stud engine. The car was...

I installed a Signal-Stat 900 and it works except both rear lights flash when signaling left or right. The front lights flash correctly. I'm confused about the wiring at the brake switch. The diagram shows the black/grey wire runs to the brake switch but it doesn't show if it runs to the...

I'd like to keep the look of the original but it is a mess to clean and probably not that efficient. Has anyone supplemented the original housing with a K&N type element? If so, I'd like to see and hear about it. I want something with minimal resistance so I don't have to re-jet or air...
