I am installing a fan belt on a 46 engine. Of course, this engine has separate fan and generator belts. My question? How can you apply tension to the belt and tighten it? I can't see anywhere that you could pry against to stretch and tighten the belt. I am of course aware that when tensioned...

I'd like to start my thread over again now that I have my facts straight... I have a 42 engine that for some reason was set up with a 46 type distributor and fan. This leaves me with a crankcase pulley, water pumps, and distributor pulley... All with narrow grooves for belts that are about 5/8th...

I have a 42 engine in my 40 Sedan Delivery. Right now, the generator pulley is adjusted all the way to the top. This has the fan blade nipping the bottom of the right upper radiator hose. Macs lists this belt as 5/8 x 36. A friend of mine had the same problem and told me that he had the same...

In the process of installing 57 TBird intake, carb, and distributor on my 56 Bird. Need a little help. Fuel lines and vacuum lines are different from my originals of course. I ordered stainless steel lines from a T-Bird parts house. My experience in the past has been that these repros can be...

My 40 Ford Sedan Delivery has a 41 engine rebuilt to 100 HP. The single exhaust pipe by today's standards looks ridiculously small. Checked it today and it measures 1.5 inches O.D. I'm wondering whether this restricted exhaust doesn't contribute to over-heating? Not that I would expect...

I'm looking at ordering a copper/brass radiator for my 40 Sedan Delivery manufactured by US Radiator. Anyone have any experience with this? Also... What pressure can you run with it? Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

I'm trying to sort through my Holley 4000/Loadomatic distributor issues. I had to replace the double diaphragm advance mechanism on the distributor and I had a couple issues with the Holley 4000 that Pony rebuilt for me. The choke was assembled wrong and was bound up. Sorted that out and got the...

I want to do the typical 57 carb/distributor swap on my 56 T-Bird. I intend to keep my original parts so that I can restore it back to original at some point. But right now, I simply want to improve drive-ability. I know what has to be swapped out. I have the intake. I have a restored Holley...

As I continue to sort out my 40 Sedan Delivery... I am now trying to address a problem with the accelerator linkage. My pedal isn't far off the floor and I have very little travel on the accelerator-to-carb rod. As a result I can't get the throttle to rotate very much. A local flathead guy...

Just checking to see if a Dropbox file works here. http://db.tt/sSH5Du0

I know that there have been a lot of posts on here of late about rebuilding Ford steering boxes... A friend of mine is rebuilding mine. It's amazing... This is a frame-off restored Sedan Delivery. They took the lid off this box, painted the lid and installed new polished bolts and nuts to make...

My Sedan Delivery has wide white, bias ply, 600 x 16 tires on stock rims. I would like to put together a set of tires and wheels that look stock but are more highway friendly. My thoughts are to get a set of pre-1960 F100 wheels and mount a set of 15" radials. The 600 x 16's have an O.D. of...

Went to NJ Dept of Motor Vehicles today to register my 40 Ford Sedan Delivery. Spent two hours there and walked away with nothing. The woman there along with two other coworkers spent all that time checking their picture library looking for a comparable vehicle. They had none. The woman then...

My 40 pickup has the original type steering column. I have a universal turn signal switch that has no more brains than I do when it comes to remembering to turn itself off. Friends riding behind me constantly complain that my signals are always on. My new 40 Sedan Delivery has a pretty...

Hi folks - I'm new to the forum and new to the world of flathead V8s as well. Just bought a very nice 40 Sedan Delivery. The car is supposed to be a 239/100. I have been trying to confirm that. Can't see the top of the bell housing. Heads are essentially unmarked. It has a 46-48 type distributor...
