There is nothing cooler then old jacks! Is there someone who can help me identify the jack, so I can label it in my collection?

I plan on towing a vintage 1936/37 Mullins trailer with my 1938 Ford V8 60 Coupe. The trailer will always be lightly packed. I cannot envision any reason why I wouldn't be able to use a period correct bumper hitch. Please enlighten me with your knowledge and experience with their use. The...

Here is a rough cut video of my first attempt to restore a condenser. Has anyone ever used an electrically conductive epoxy? I would like to come up with a method to ground the original cylinder to the new condenser internally. A second idea would be a spring, like used with the battery in a...

In my last question, the direction of the key tapper became a topic. I went through my collection of Ford books and found this in the 1925 Ford Service Manual. "639 The hub key is then inserted into keyway on axle shaft as shown at "B' and is forced into keyway by tapping it with a small...

Thanks to everyone's help the hub came off. The key on the axel is another story. It does not want to budge. 1. Can I assume it is not a press fit and it should come off. 2. And/or can I leave it pressed in the slot on the axel and not worry about it or more then likely that’s part of the...

The 1st picture is a photo of when I rebuilt the breaks this spring. The 2nd picture is of the hub puller I attempted to use today. Despite the hub being recently off. The threads in the puller stripped out when I attempted to use it. The 3rd picture is the current setup I plan to use. Note...

In theory, with a Model A you advance your spark retard lever one notch per 5 miles per hour. In reality you advance it by sound and feel. Many on the various V8 sites claim with today's gas setting, your vacuum advance on your V8 is not necessary and there is no need to set it at all. Is it all...

http://modelabasics.com/pics/38sparc.mp4 I am fairly new to this side of the site and am a self taught Model A guy. In my research for my 38, I see many questions on how to check a coil. (Envious of the Herbrand 660). For the Model A, I use a homemade device that connects between the...

Notice in the photo part of the ring casting is missing. I assume the emosed ring is to seal against oil leaks. Should I be concerned in using it? ...or does it just hold it in place and don'tworry? Thanks, Paul

Let's say you came across a car that is a good candidate for the Rouge Class of judging. Step by step how would you clean and preserve… Exterior finish: (mostly original paint with some buff throughs) 1. 2. Etc. Fender wells: (slight surface rust and tar) 1. 2. Etc. Undercarriage: (rust and...

For a "82A V8 - 60hp Coupe", am I correct in saying the Coker Firestone, 550-16, Bias-Ply, Blackwall is the closest tire on the market to what would be correct coming from the factor?

Thanks for the help with the removal of the exhaust. I have a new system from Waldrons. I am in need of an exhaust and cross over pipe to the manifold gasket for a V8-60hp. Is this something that can be purchased from a standard auto parts store or even a tractor supply?

The nuts and lock washers are removed, but the exhaust flange will not separate from the manifold. I am open for suggestions on how to break apart. Both sides are froze and it is a V8 60.

I have an unmolested, low mileage 1938 coupe. I was hoping to get it running well and take it to the spring event at the Early V8 Museum to discuss what to clean, what to restore and what to leave alone. The goal is to collect as many opinions as I can before I proceed with my vision. With that...

I found my mouse nest. It's on the window header above the windshield wiper. How do you remove the eyelets that attach the ceiling lining to the wiper control. It is1938 Ford Standard Coupe.

In the restoration of a radiator cap, is there a method used to separate the stainless cover from the rest of the cap in order to remove dents?

I have a Stromberg 81 carburetor for a 1938 Ford 60 horsepower v8 engine. My question: is the spacer between the intake manifold and the carburetor original, and if it is (or not), what is its purpose?
