Hey guys, Im looking to replace the clutch and have been advised you can pull the back end rather than the motor. Could someone give me a basic run down so I know what Im in for. Diff, torque tube, gearbox? Dameon.

Okay, so the coupe is running really well after all the help from you guys and now one of the new water pumps has started to leak pretty badly. Now, these were installed before I got this replacement engine and dropped it in. I also have two brand new ones from my pervious changed out motor...

Hey guys, I had the sending unit replaced when the car was in the US and now here in Australia, its not working properly. I'm not sure of the brand. It would only move from empty to half a tank (half a tank when full). Pulled the unit and checked its movement and even when moved to its...

Hey guys, Please see my other thread - unable to delete this one. Dameon

Hey guys, So I'm pretty sure this is the last bit of information that I am after on this new old car (V8 60). New clutch thats set up really well. All gear selections work well (double clutching) asides changing from hi back to second. Any tricks? Or a transmission re build? D.:D

Hey guys, Me ...again.... Thanks for everyones help. I'm less than 6 months in and the learning curve has been very steep. So, everything has been replaced or reconditioned and I just sorted the ignition coil issue and been putting some miles on the old girl driving her every day. Now, she...

Hey guys, Can anyone show me exactly what the original 37 ford car jack looks like? I understand a late model scissor jack will do a much better job (and wont leak) but this is just to kit the car out with everything original that i can. As a side note, is anyone making a replica tool kit and...

Okay you Yoda like wise peoples. The third coil has now been put in my coupe. The first coil when dated 2009 (reconditioned by Skip) died not long after arriving in Australia. The replacement dated 2019 (reconditioned by Skip) died after two weeks (could I be doubly unlucky?). New coil...

There are two little holes (one either side) of where the front window folds back into (sill drainage holes). Mine were blocked but now unblocked. I can see what remains of drainage hose attached to said drainage hole pipes. Where do these hoses go?

Okay you incredibly old car educated people! What would be the symptoms of a coil starting to go on my original dome distributor? :confused:

Ah yes. I just replaced the motor (after the last was blowing the blues, pulled and found to have a severely cracked block too!) and after 100 beautiful miles i see my brand new radiator fluid dripping out on the garage floor. A closer inspection showed the drip coming from (yip you guessed it)...

Hey guys. So the motor has been pulled out of the car and pulled apart (by my mechanic). Turns out that it has been rebuilt before and in quite the mess. Black as coal in there and an inch of sludge in the pan. My mechanic knows his flatties and advised how easy it is to source parts here in...

Hey guys, Short story, the car I bought has gone from a 10 a day smoker to a couple of packs a day smoker. The last run was for around 100 miles and burnt over a quart of oil. There isn't any real obvious smoke on start up, its when you hit the road there is a fair whack of blue smoke coming...

Hey guys, It turns out my Trico wiper motor wont work even after a good clean out. Is there a 6v electric replacement that i don't have to cut any steel to fit? Thanks, D.

Hey guys. I've had my car for 3 days so things are very new. My Trico KSB 383 1 wiper motor doesnt seem to be working. I've pulled it apart and the previous grease was a little sticky so replaced. It now moves much more freely. I've popped it all back together and blowing compressed air in the...
