I am guessing it is from 'T' era, it may be more recent. I'd say it is a bronze casting and a notch with a groove at the end. It is a J.M. Waterston tool and the early style 'Ford' script on the other side. What is it for? Thanks, Oj

Uh-oh, a hot rodder is about to ask a question! I need a picture or a description of what the flywheel looks like on a 40ish Ford pickup. My problem is that I have a hemi flywheel and a toploader trans from about early 40's (it doesn't have an arm sticking up for the clutch/TO bearing...

I need 4sets of Wide 5 wheel studs, I've checked with van Pelt and others without luck. I measured best I could and went to Dormans' website but they didn't have anything. Any suggestions?

I have 40's era pickup banjo and the pinion yoke has rust pits on the machined surface where it contacts the seal. I'd like to replace it with a good one. The pinion has a tapered shaft, same as the axle. It is not a splined yoke. Shoot me an email at ojh4@verizon.net Thanks, Oj

I have a very nice, complete V8-60 engine and transmission for sale. It is complete with ignition, starter, carb, generator, exhaust manifolds - all thats needed to start and run is battery and gas. It is not a rebuild, it sits as it was removed from a well running car and was the spare motor...

I've been trying to figure out what why Ford called some models an 'A' and some as 'B' - not the motor designation. For instance, the coupe Model 45, there is a 45A and 45B. It seemed the sedans were an 'A' if Tudor and 'B' 4 door but when I got to reading about Coupes, Specials and Deluxes...

I'm rebuilding a late 40's open drive rear and I have a question about the pinion bearings. Shouldn't there be a crush sleeve or something between the bearings in that double bearing race? When I tighten to 25ish inch lbs its; just like tightening a front wheel bearing and something don't feel...

I have 5 issues of 'Antique Automobile' from the AACA, the top issue is May-June, 1969 vol 33 #3, the other 4 are still sealed but I expect they are from 1968 to 1969. I have two groups of 5 magazines, one is described above; the other groups' only open magazine is March-April, 1968; Vol 32 #2...

I'm going thru a zenith and the float looks ok but it is heavy, it weights about 7/8ths of an ounce. Is that normal for these carbs?

What was theory as to having positive ground and what compelled manufactorors to switch to negative ground? If I recall electrical theory right the voltage flows from positive to negative while current flows from negative to positive. Any thoughts?

I mentioned in another thread I had these 'poppets' made set for 3psi, they don't look like a regulator and go anywhere after the pump and need to run back into the line from the tank. At 3psi they open fully and fuel flows in a loop, it keeps everything cool and would help those with vapor...

I'd like a book on how to build a banjo, something comprehensive that shows all the rears and parts breakdowns. Any suggestions?

I need a Wide5 rear hub, just the hub section of the 2pc kind. I don't want the drum section. I have torn my place apart and cannot find the one, I must've loaned to somebody or something. Thanks for looking. my email is: ojh4@verizon.net

I was wondering if all wide 5's are the same? I've seen them for the Zephyr and wonder if they were different. Do all wide 5 hubcaps, centers & trims interchange?

The shafts' threads have stripped on an original Model 'A' rumbleseat-***-trunk handle assembly. I want to keep the original handle etc and replace just the square threaded shaft but all I find are complete aftermarket assemblies, I checked Brattons' and a couple others. Any suggestions?

I keep seeing Model A front springs from 29" to 31.5", I thought the Model A axle where all the same width from perch to perch pin. Are there different shackle lenghts? Where would you use the 29"?

I'm just finishing a Model A hotrod, I had it sitting outside idleing with a radiator filling funnel in the radiator (a big Walker), I let it idle for about 1/2hr and it was hot but maintaining. I thought it was ready for its' maiden voyage and I stuck the plunger into the filler funnel to seal...

I saw a thread on the hamb that Dick might be in the hospital, I can't confirm it and hope I have bad information. It sounded serious and thought you guys would want to know. Dick, you are missed and are in my thoughts and prayers. Get well soon, oj

I'm working on a car that somebody started installing a 'Keep it Clean' wireing system. The directions omit how they expect you to wire the brake lt switch and how it all works thru the flashers and turn signals etc. I've been trying to contact them for a week, emails and messages. They are...
