Went to the Little Falls, MN car show and swap meet yesterday. Long time show, has been as many as 400 cars there in the past. This year I estimated 250. Always had pretty good swap meet for small town, probably 50 spaces. That, too had many vacant spaces this year. What I noticed and...

Have an 8ba at the machine shop ready to be bored. Machinist is waiting on me getting pistons. Have 4" merc crank and EAB heads. The heads appear to have been milled quite a bit--no ridge at the thermostat housing. I have read where some have had problems with the dome on Egge pistons not...

Sometimes a broken stud or bolt won't come out by welding a washer to it and then a nut to the washer. And I have usually had a hard time getting it center punched right in the center to drill, so the drilled hole was off center. I figured out that using a die grinder with a small ball tip, I...

I know usage of Devcon products have been discussed in the past, so here goes. I have a radiator that has leakage where a tube enters the tank--repair shop says new recore $$$$$$$. It is brass. I'm wondering if anyone has tried using Devcon plastic steel for something like this. The area is...

What do the experts do to when an exhaust valve guide is loose in the block???. Situation: bought an 8n Ford tractor (same valve guides as flathead). Sat over winter and front three exhaust valves stuck open. #3 guide loose in the block so it was able to drop down and ride the lifter with...

Refurbished Columbia two speed axle. Out of '38-39 Lincoln, same width as a '36 Ford (and others). If I was an expert on Columbia's I would call it rebuilt, but I'm not, so it is "refurbished". The relevant parts have been bullet proofed by John Connelly. I am selling it as "use your...

Were the 1936 cars and pickups assigned their vin's in the same way; +18-xxxxxx+? Reason I ask: I have a three speed toploader transmission that was in a '36 pickup I purchased several years ago. Just got looking at it in detail and discovered the following: serial # +18 - 2763336+ (read +...

Anybody know much about Badger pistons? I googled and couldn't fine much. I have a set of 8ba .030 over that appear to be "destroked". They only have break in run time, so essentially new. Are they worth putting in a stock motor and shave heads to get decent comression, or are they paper...

I have a '36 LB block that has cracks along the pan rail on one side on the inside of the crankcase, both front and back of the main bearing web. Web isn't cracked. Three cylinders have vertical cracks, a couple the wall is visibly pushed into the water jacket, so it would take sleeves in all...

Car, etc: '36 5 window, '36 21 stud with Eddie Meyer heads and dual intake with 2 97's, potvin cam, 4 speed nonoverdrive s10 ******, Bubba rebuilt dizzy and Skip rebuilt coil. A year or so ago I posted about a sporadic miss that had developed, mostly when accelerating hard in 2nd and 3rd...

Discovered one jet was a thread or two from seating. How would that, if at all, affect how the motor would run? Would it run lean on low vacuum situations? Thanks for any ideas. Rod

I have a '36 coupe with 221LB with Eddie Meyer heads and dual carb high rise manifold with two 97's, four speed S10 ******, 2.75 nine inch rear end. Runs super, except when it gets to operating temp and pulling hard around1000-1500 rpm (just guessing, no tach) it bucks and misses, until it...
