Hi, Just got a 51 Mercury that has been converted to 12 volts. Lots of things weren't, gauges, overdrive and horn. It seems like the wire that comes off the horn button to the relay is hot and should be a ground. Logical since the 6 volt was positive ground now the 12 volt is negative ground...

It did start about 5 times. Then, the next day it didn't start. i replaced the coil with a known good one from Third Gen. I got a new condenser from Third Gen. Here is my question. Do you think it won't start because I have no ground at the engine? When I touch the coil wire with a multimeter...

Anyone know what kind and size screws to mount the wood rectangular mount for the dome light?

I am having trouble pushing the rubber trim that holds the vinyl top on in the channel. Any tips? I got about 12 inches in and it took about 1 1/2 hours. Going really slow. Now, I am kinda stuck. 1935 Ford.

I am trying to attach the metal piece that goes above the front window. The sun visors mount to it and the windshield wiper controls go through two holes that it has. My question is; What size screws and where or how many? It looks like garnish trim screws will work, the same ones as in the...

I may have the wires on the ignition switch mixed up. One is for the coil, the other, the battery. Can someone please tell me which wire goes to the "high and outside" terminal? It is the higher of the two terminals and is toward the outside of the car. I cannot see Batt or Coil marked anywhere...

Newest project...mounting the part under the top middle of the dash that extends and opens and closes the front window. The dash is restored and mounted. Please don't tell me I need to remove the dash to put that part in. If so, remove it all the way? Is there a way to partially drop it and fit...

Does the hood attach to the OUTSIDE of the inner fenders?

Well, now I know why its called a light rod, it works the lights and horn. Mine was out of the car. The rod is attached to the circular horn part but only by a wire. I am thinking it should be firmly attached so that when you spin it the whole rod turns. Mine doesn't. Am I missing a piece on...

Looking for a working hydrostatic fuel and oil pressure gauge. Mysteriously, the car I am trying to put together has the 35 tank with the 1/8 line to a hydrostatic fuel gauge, which it should have, but doesn't! I could even trade you the 1936 dual gauge, which is in my car, it has a wire hook-up...

1935 Ford 2 door slantback. What are these 6 parts and where do they go? Thanks in advance.

Should this be so hard? It seems like I am fighting that spring so much. Trying to install the throttle linkage on the firewall. Two bolts! That spring seems to be so tight. Any tips?

Looks like I need thermostats, none provided in the parts that I have, to put the car together. I am not concerned with originality here, you won't see them. Must I get the original style that a vender sells for $110 per pair or can I get modern looking ones from one of the venders for $7.99 each?

I know Henry Ford is right, plus he wouldn't have put it in there if it was not needed, but why is there a resistor in the 6 volt system, going to the coil and points? In a 12 volt there is a resistor that knocks it down to 8 volts or so, so the points don't burn out. We've got the same basic...

I am examining my new wiring. 1935 Ford. All the wiring is out of the car. I have it lying around and am comparing it with the new wiring. There seems to be a metal piece, approximately a round ball, that attaches to the bottom of the steering assembly? There seems to be a bolt with threads in...

Trying to start the car for the first time in 20 years. Is this the correct terminal to wire the distributor? If so, then its probably the points. I don't want to take the distributor off until I verify the wiring.

I have all new wiring for my car, 1935 Ford 2 door sedan, I don't think there is a wire for the distributor. A wire from the starting switch to the resistor, then a wire from the resistor to the coil. Two wires. Does anyone sell them new or do you use two old pieces of wire?

I'm looking for the attaching hardware for the throttle lever on the firewall of a 1935. There are two bolts and what looks like two "bells". Anyone?

I hope the pictures posted. This is the connection of the torque tube to the transmission, looking up at it. There is a space between them. The bolts will not snug down, and, I am afraid to really go after them because the whole bolt seems to move, as if it will come loose? What is going on...

I have two dipsticks with my 35 Ford! Of course, two different lengths. Can anyone tell me the correct length of the dipstick, not including the handle?
