I just returned home after only one day at the 2015 Central National Meet of the Early For V8 Club of America. Sunday evening straight line winds and area tornadoes struck at the Meet in Brainerd, Minnesota. Luckily no one was injured but several cars were damaged, one probably "totaled". We...

I am looking for an NOS window channel for the passenger side of my '36 5W Coupe. Thanks

I was driving my '36 5W coupe yesterday on the interstate hwy and the wind noise was practically deafening. It was difficult to talk to my passenger with normal voice and listening to a radio would be out of the question. True, I was moving at between 65 and 70 mph and there was about a 25...

I would like to mount armrests on my standard '36 5 W coupe. I received the hardware from Bob Drake but the instructions didn't say exactly where I should place the armrests on the panel other than "where they are comfortable". They do say I will have to take off the panel and mount a hooked...

I happened to be looking at an online listing of Model A's from Hemmings and read about a '30 roadster that claimed to have an F150 4 speed transmission and when looking at the pictures it showed the under side with the torque tube and pumpkin differential! Is that possible?

I got into a discussion with the guys at coffee this morning and they claimed that the Model A not only came originally with the 2 blade fan but could also be purchased with a 4 blade fan. My research from the Model A Ford Judging Standards (1997) book says that only the 2 bladed fan was used...

I am wondering if the geometry/attachment positions of the shocks in my '36 coupe is contributing to a very bouncy front end while driving? As you can see from the pics, I have reversed the spring eyes, taken out a couple of leaves and added poly slide spring liners. I have seen pics of...

I have a new Mallory dual point distributor and it is running fine. I remember when I was young my Dad would periodically have the garage do a "tune-up" which would usually involve replacing plugs, points and condenser. I don't recall how often he did that and if there was a reason for it? In...

I am looking for a fuel pump stand for my 59 AB engine. The gasket face of the fuel pump stand must be perfectly flat. I would prefer it to have the tube extending down that goes over the push rod.

Is there a trick to placing the fuel shut-off valve grommet through the firewall of my '31 tudor sedan. Would liquid soap help?

I just got my engine back into the '31 tudor (after re-painting), hooked everything up, pushed the starter button and all I got was a "whirring sound". I rocked the car in third gear, no popping sound. It has a new battery and the starter was rebuilt this past winter. What's the problem?:mad:

My horn (on a '31 tudor) was working just fine last year but when I turned on the ignition key today, smoke started to come out of the horn motor so I quickly turned the key off. The only difference I can think of is that I replaced the steering gear end plate due to leaking oil and I took off...

I think I have stopped some pin-hole leaks at the bottom of the fuel tank-near the outlet pipe. I sanded off the paint, cleaned the bare metal and treated it with "Seal-All". So far no leaks. Has anyone else tried this method? I am hoping it works. I don't want to remove the tank, put a...

Does anyone have a picture of how to fit a 6 volt optima battery with Bratton's special hold down frame. I am looking at it and the the holes in the hold down frame and the battery support don't seem to line up? Maybe there's a "battery hold down frame guide for Dummies?" :confused: Thanks!

I am looking for an uncracked, straight valve cover for my '31 engine part #6520.

My original purpose in removing the engine from my '31 Tudor was to repaint the engine. But as suggested on this forum, I thought I should check my mains and rod bearing clearances while the engine is out but need to get at the nut behind the oil pump distributor dirve gear spring. I have a two...

My engine paint (rattle can) is getting a little thin and is wearing off and not holding up against surface rust from a weeping head gasket and water pump. I would like to remove the engine and transmission from the car ('31 tudor sedan) and wonder what would be the best method of preping it...

I have been plagued by what I call "sooty" spark plugs in my '31 tudor sedan and can't seem to find out why. They got so bad after a parade that I barely made it home (30 miles). I replaced my Autolite spark plugs with Champion W16Y (supposedly hotter), set the timing with new points...

I am installing a 6 volt alternator in my '31 tudor. It will have a negative ground. I have original wiring and i was wondering about how to hook up the "-" and "+" positive terminals of the coil. Does the black wire from the terminal box go to the "+" terminal on the coil and the red wire go...
