I'm in need of a differential spider gear yoke to make a carrier pre-load tool. Doesn't have to be in perfect shape. Please PM if you have one. Thanks

I just received my new Stipe 340 cam and plan on replacing my worn/pitted camshaft as well as install new modern valves, adjustable tappets and the fiber two piece gear with a metal one. Is there anything special I need to know or do when replacing the old camshaft. I have Les Andrews book and...

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a replacement float valve for my Simmons carburetor. It doesn't seem to be seating properly. I just got the car with the carburetor on it and I disassembled it because the GAV was stuck. I ran all parts through my ultrasonic, but the float...

I'm going to run a single downdraft setup with a Stromberg 81 and Red's header and stock head. Do I need to use a fuel pump for one carb? If so I have a 12V pump and regulator that I was going to use on a dual carb setup for my other A. This car is still 6V and I read that a 12V pump will...

I know you can buy these for less than $20 but I needed one the other day and decided to make one using my CNC plasma cutter. It worked great with an impact wrench.

Hello, I was in the process of replacing my cylinder head and gasket and noticed some scoring in a few places on the first cylinder wall. They feel pretty deep and you can catch your nail on them. The engine was supposedly recently rebuilt before I got the car; it's a diamond B block and has...

I'm getting ready to put a new high compression head and gasket on. I decided while I'm at it to put new moly head bolts in. I know the torque specs and re-torque parameters for the head nuts after the head is installed, but what about the bolts themselves. When I install the bolts do they...

Yesterday I removed my intake and exhaust manifold on my coupe that has been sitting 6 or 7 months and hasn't been started. When I took off the manifold a few ounces of antifreeze ran out of the #2 & #3 exhaust ports. I checked the oil and it looks good (no milkshake color). My initial...

Hello, I have a couple NOS Ford script replacement heads I got last year. Is there a site that decodes the casting numbers on these heads. I've searched this site, and looked at fordgarage.com and MAFCA. Thanks

I know there has been a lot of discussion about patch panels. Can anyone tell me their experience with using Brookville Roadster patch panels? I realize they all need work and I will be making some myself when I finish fabricating my bead roller, just thought I would try some lowers for a door...

I have a few Stromberg 81's with the tops drilled for I'm assuming a fuel heater used at one time. What is the best course of action for filling these? Lead plugs, solder, or something similar?? Thanks

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out a time frame this Edmunds intake was made. I bought it a while back mainly for the 81's that were on it. Thanks

can anyone provide links or publications on rebuilding the Stromberg 81. I have the yellow book on rebuilding the Tillotson and info on the Zeniths but need more info on downdrafts. I have a Winfield head on one of my A's and the Tillotson isn't doing the job. I've got several 81's and a...

I know these are available for purchase but I enjoy fabricating my own, thought I would share some pics.. I used doubled 3/16" steel to allow me to use some old plugs to screw it down I'm going to build another stand for another A block I have, this particular one is a B with the model 40/46...
