I have an in-line electric fuel pump that we installed to help fill the carb bowl after the flathead sits for a while. But when we turn on the electric pump (before attempting to start the engine), it fills the mechanical fuel pump glass bowl then immediately the gas starts squirting out of the...

I have a couple question on the wheel covers and hub dust caps for a 50 shoebox. What is the trick to get the wheel covers back on without denting them? I'm using a rubber dead blow, and hitting as close to the edge/rim of the cover as I can. But it takes such a hard blow that if I am not...

We have an oil filter canister that was on when the car was purchased, but it is not plumbed - so it is just on there for show at the moment. I know there needs to be an .060 restrictor on the inlet side, but are there certain hose dimensions we should be looking for, and connectors for the block?

'50 Ford - I know the free travel should be set to 1 to 1-1/2 inches, but our clutch doesn't start grabbing until very close to the top of the pedal travel. Like your foot and leg is way up high. Is that because the clutch is worn, or is that just the nature of the beast? It takes a bit of...

1950 Ford. We are planning to add an electric fuel pump - will be putting in line just in front of the rear leaf spring on the frame rail. Questions: The fuel line is currently secured to the frame rail using adel clamps, so we expect to be removing a few of those so we can get access to the...
