The control knob is increasing hard to turn on and off. I don't want to take the wiper motor unit down for close inspection because of the difficulty working under the dash for an 81 year old. Youtube shows disconnecting the vacuum hose under the hood and partly filling a small container with...

I managed to bring up the auction results but am unable to attach a link to Fordbarn showing the winning bid for each unit. I'm thinking the prices paid were on the low side but the market speaks....Some tekkie will be able to post these results and chew gum at the same time.....Thanks in...

A budding flathead rebuilder in Ma. was asking about what ever happened to Walt's fathead rebulding equipment. I don't remember that subject ever being covered on the Barn. Some of the regulars here may have some insight. He was a wealth of info for us and it was sad to see him fade away...Bill.

Question, are the headlamp buckets L/R the same? Are the "pods" that hold the sealedbeams against the bucket the same L/R? I'm talking about the pod that holds the headlamp adjusters to be clear.1940 Ford DLX.

http://www.goldenrod-garage.com/ Don't know if this has been covered in an earlier post but apparently Neil Martin died around the end of October. The Goldenrod Garage was a "Must Stop" for any gearhead who passed thru Freeport Maine. I would drop my wife off at the outlet malls there and tell...

Just to be clear are the gas tanks the same for a wagon as for a pasenger car? My gastank started leaking today. At the seam, I think after filling it. Drained 7 gallons off it and it stopped leaking. 72 years old doubt there is any recalls/warranty! Any fitment issues similar to the 38/40...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aFwFaSW9j4 Got this video from a friend who is a member of the EFV8 Gulf Coast Regional Group. Well worth the watch if you haven't seen it before! The 1935 technology is amazing when you consider it's 85 years old. Look closely you may see yerself as a kid...Bill

From the outset and so not to ruffle any feathers let me state there is the occasional non Ford presented in this video! However the content far outweighs the oddball marques. I found it very entertaining. Twenty minutes well wasted! Hope all y'all agree. GB Sisson in particular.. Bill...

Not long ago when I would search ebay for early V8s I would go to "Ford Other". Normally there would be 7/8 pages under that heading. Now there are barely two. Is there another heading now more commonly used or are there just not the volume of V8s for sale? Just wondering.. Bill

A friend of mine is assembling the temp sending units on his 8BA motor. He wants to know in which head does the one with two terminal go and which one does the one with one terminal go. Also if he wants to bench test his units before installation what values should they read. He is using an 8...
