Hey y’all – need a bit of knowledge. I have a ’34 coupe with a 1936 flathead that I am keeping alive. I sent these water pumps to Skip Haney to work his magic on, back in 2004. Problem is the pumps go into ‘squeal mode’ ever so often.. I put grease into them and they quiet down…for a while...

Hey y’all, My 34 is running a 1936 flathead with the water pumps in the heads. Both pumps have zerk fittings for grease AND both pumps have been ‘enhanced’ by Skip. Due to some health issues (cancer) the motor hasn’t been run for maybe 3 years. I cranked her up the other day and after a short...

Does anyone have a good source for restamping a firewall serial number data plate on a 1950 Ford Crestliner? I had mine done (or got one from) by somebody in 2006 and his work was beautiful. He had the 'backwards stamps', so he stamped from the back of the plate and the characters were raised...

There is a bit of confusion about my vin number. Some of it comes from a previous owner who wrote the wrong number down...this is on a car I have owned since Feb of 1972. So I am asking which of these numbers make the most sense and looks like a vin number you would expect to see? *DMP157537*...

Well, after 3 weeks of struggling, the starter is finally out of the car. How did I get there? Holy Cow what an ordeal. Took the steady rest bolt out Removed the nuts of both motor mounts Used a bottle jack and vertical 2x4 to lift on the right front corner of the oil pan rail – just behind...

Kinda hate to make another thread, but I need to attract the attention of someone who has done what I am in the middle of, and who found the 'magic angle' to getting the starter out of the car. OK- in the process of removing the starter. all 3 bolts are out. Trying to move the starter out and...

Stock 1955 Fairlane. 6 volt, Positive ground with a reed top Optima battery. Checking for voltage at battery while running and I get 6.82v. This seems a bit low, anyone know what it should be? Car is a 69K mile original and the generator has never been serviced. Maybe it's time?

Looking for a stock 33 or 34 clutch& brake pedal assembly. I need to alter it before installing and on the work bench is the best place to do it. Do you have one laying around?

Anyone know what the thread pitch and diameter of the round brake pedal pad stud is on a '34? TIA

This is related to my ongoing post but I wanted to concentrate the answers on this specific problem.. So, I am at pulling the radiator and all that remains are the two bottom hoses. I still have front fenders on it, so there isn't a lot of forward clearance to pull the radiator in that...

Does anyone know what the thread size of the pump's outlet is? I do know that it is NOT 1/4 NPT, but what the heck is it?

Hey y'all, I have a stock, glass bowl fuel pump on my '34 motor. The outlet is exiting right against the carb body (running 2 dueces on a Fenton intake) so..my question: Can I remove the screws that hold the pump together and rotate the top section CCW one screw hole and reinstall the screws to...

Question for everyone; if you had an intake manifold bolt that appears to screw into a water passage (as evidenced by water seepage) and your idea to stop it is to remove the bolt, put sealant onto the threads and screw the bolt back in place, what sort of sealant would you use? I’m assuming...

This might be the wrong place to ask this but here goes. Does anyone know of a supplier who sells a flat steel pitman arm for a stock steering box 34 ford? I want to convert my half stock drag link to Heim’s on both ends. Totally getting away from the cup and spring factory arrangement. So, the...
