Hi Guys,

Hi Guys, By chance: Anyone in the New York Metro or Long Island area know of a place that stocks Optima 6 volt red top batteries. I have a situation with my 36 Ford and would like to see the battery and buy in a store rather than order online. Also, are Optima batteries as good as they were...

Hi guys, I have a restored 36 Cabriolet that I,m trying to get top up. I can't get the front bow far enough forward so that it slips down over the two posts on top of the windshield. I put the top up every fall but don't remember having this much difficulty getting the front bow down over...

Hi guys, Recently replaced the mechanical fuel pump on my 36 Cabriolet and did some damage. This car has a Ford accessory oil filter on it. The return line runs from the filter to a banjo style fitting which is bolted to the fuel pump with a hollow bolt. The oil runs thru the banjo fitting...

My 36 Ford seems to have a fuel starvation problem. The car has a stock fuel pump with an electric fuel pump in line. When the car sits for a week or two, I run the electric fuel pump for around 30 seconds and she starts right up and runs fine. Today I figured I'd go for a short ride. The car...

Just toook my 36 cabriolet for a ride. Noticed a scraping squeaking noise when shifting. I determined it was not coming from the gear box. In neutral, when I move the shift lever from side, I get the noise. Seems like it is coming from the ball at the base of the shift rod which is...

Hi guys, I have a 1936 Ford Cabriolet which Was restored about 10 years ago. I purchased this car in October of 2012. It has basically been very reliable and runs and drives great. This afternoon it was nice and sunny on Long Island , NY. So I backed the car out of my garage to put up the...

A few days ago a couple of local Ford guys went on short cruise. A friend had his fully restored 1935 Cabriolet which started and ran fine when he left his garage. We parked at our destination, and about a half hour later, we decided to move the old Fords to a more secure location within the...

Filled up my gas tank on 1936 Ford Cabriolet this morning. It only took just over 2 gallons to fill it to the brim of the fill tube. Problem is, the filler tube drains into the tank very slowly. I can only pump a couple of tenths of a gallon, then have to stop while the gas gurgles down. Of...

A friend who is rebuilding a a 1950 F-2 just called me to see if I had an extra starter for my 36 Cabriolet that he could borrow. I did not have one but can anyone tell me if a 1936 passenger car starter would work on a 1950 truck? The engine has been rebuilt and assembled with oil in the...

The heater in my 36 is the type with the heater hoses connected to the upper and lower rad hoses. It worked fine until I drained and flushed cooling system and added fresh AF. Now the heater blows cool air even though the engine temp is normal. Any ideas. Could the problem be no circulation...

Today, while servicing the cooling system on my 39 Cabriolet, I discovered that there is no drain **** on the bottom of the radiator. Looks like the drain **** was remover and the bottom tank was patched. Had to remove lower radiator hose to drain old coolant, reinstall it and add Prestone...

I have a 1936 Cabriolet with a vintage after market heater installed. The heater works great, but the radiator hoses and heater hoses are grubby. I was thinking of replacing all hoses, clamps, and the heater hose nipples that get installed on the left side radiator hoses. I have some...

I recently purchased a 1936 Ford cabriolet which is restored with a rebuilt correct engine. The car has been running perfectly all day. As I was pulling into my garage this afternoon the engine stalled and would not start, not even a hint of starting. I pushed into the garage and let it sit...
