Looking to build Columbia rear not using original drivers side axle half. Almost anywhere east coast within range. Complete 1939 ford rear end also acceptable.

Having read the Columbia install instructions, every post I could find here on Fordbarn and completing the rebuild of my 1939 Columbia half rear axle begins the prep stage for me. I cannot determine the best or quickest or easiest way to adjust the pinion backlash. Columbia install notes the...

I have an original 1939 clock that needs a face lift. Does anyone know of someone that repairs and refinishes Ford clocks. Thank You.

There is a spring on each side of the bottom the radiator to hold it to the frame. What is the order of installation. From the top is it bolt, spring, radiator, rubber pad, nut and cotter pin. Or is all reversed with the spring under the frame. Pretty anal, I know, but it is better than to...

What is the seal between a crab distributor and the engine block? My crab developed a wicked vacuum leak from that seal failure. I never heard an engine run so bad!

I have a Holley Model 59 mounted on a stock rebuilt 1939 Ford engine. I am having difficulty making the engine idol and accelerate without an occasional backfire. The engine has a stock helmet distributor with points set to 0.16". Top three questions for me? 1. I cannot get to idle slow...

Worked hard all Fall to get ready for the first club show of 2014. Ocean Drive Miami Beach Art Deco Weekend. Over 500,000 viewers over two days. Did not win any trophies, but had a great time talking to the crowd. Looking forward to next weeks show. As you might notice, it was cold this past...

Probably a stupid question, but wondering if possible. Can a lifter be replaced without removing the corresponding head?

Tell me what you have. Lets talk. Thanks.

I got this manifold because it looked like my 39. After I installed everything, I noticed that that the generator is quite abit higher and the 39 fan belt is too small. The generator mounting bolt is higher than my old 39 aluminum intake. Can anyone tell me what year this is. If someone also...

I have a Ford 37 to 39 aluminum intake manifold with a crack. Should I throw it away or is it fixable. The crack is on the passenger side between the first and second bolt holes from the back. If it is junk out it goes.

I searched the archives and read different facts about different types of gaskets. But could not find what I really wanted. What would the Barn say is the best type of gasket for a stock flathead ford with iron heads?

Not looking for NOS. Used in good conditin would be what I am looking for. Maybe someone put on headers and has their old exhaust system collecting dust. Let me know what you Have. Thanks

I finally had the time to work on my cars as I would like. It took six months from finding a 39 block(a crate full of parts), shipping it, finding the pieces one by one where ever I could and rebuilding the motor. I could not lay it on an old tire so, custom stand and full dash with stewart...

For the last six months I have been rebuilding a stock 39 Ford engine. I started with a piece of crap stripped down block. Slowly over the last few months I have been buying the pieces to get the engine complete. Bearings, rings, you name it, but always as cheap as I could find. Well believe...
