Unique 2 deuce manifold complete with air cleaner. This set up is new, having never been engine mounted or run. Carbs are included in this deal, but consider them as cores for rebuilding Manifold and air cleaner have been ceramic coated for gloss finish. The oil fill tube was made to...

:D Anybody got a boogered up '37 to '41front wishbone? I just need one side to fix a boogered up one I got. I just need the foot or so where the spring perch pin and spring bushing is. Some overzealous type took a torch to the spring perch pin to try and cut off the top and cut into the...

Being lazy here and not digging out my pressure test equipment to see if it fits. So, are there enough common stud holes to get a good seal with a 24 stud pressure test block?

I've got some clearance issues I am trying to work out with the radiator in my '36 passenger car. So, I'm just asking if it is feasible to remove the radiator out the top without removing the fenders and grille. I haven't gotten to installing the hood yet. Obviously, hoses, fan and the cowl...

I do not want to dredge up the Mellings pump controversy again. I was wondering if anyone had tried the Speedway hi-v pump and can attest to the quality and performance. I got a 59A that I would like to bolster the oil pressure in it.

Yo Jim, Got one of your Chevy units in my 8BA with a Petronix and it has been working great for about 3 years now. My mileage, however is in the 11mpg range and I thought I would try to improve it by putting on a Accel adjustable vac. can. So, I did that and I followed their instructions of...

I saw a thread over on the HAMB where Flowmeister and Bruce had posted some neat pics. Maybe they have been on here before, but just in case others like me have missed them, here they are.

I've never seen so many '41 Fords in one place. Check out the series on WGN. I love the attention to detail but then you see a '34 Sedan with blue dots.:eek:

I am putting the stainless on a '36 grille not previously drilled for the trim. I think that rather than use the original spring type clips, I would like to secure the trim with those universal trim clips that have the 10-32 stud and rectangular flat metal top that can be trimmed down to fit...

This is not fishing expedition to get prices or see if someone is interested. I, like most here, have built up a collection of assorted water pumps to be spares if necessary. This is a carry over from the days before they were being re-pro'd. So, I am trying to do a bit of house cleaning and...

Not a flathead, but hands on mechanic guys may get a kick out of this. http://pixelbark.com/13045/how-the-duke-engines-increases-the-efficiency-of-the-internal-combustion-engine Reminds me of the post a while back about the engine without a cam, valves driven by computer controlled actuators...

Check out this video, specifically the 3:58 minute mark, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKmTB-PbGgU Anybody know the story on this car and team? The thing is sure slippery looking so I'm wondering about their success and what the set up is.

Just got back from SW Fla. When there I am always on the hunt for old Ford types and hot rodders that maybe I can hang out with to pass some of the time there. Anyway, I came across a house with a rat rod out front and in the open garage I could see a '40. I stopped and introduced myself but...

The cheapest new tire I can find to use as a spare on my '36 is a 5.50/16 Excelsior on the 'bay for $145 free shipping. Anybody out there got a lead on something cheaper that will be under a cover and probably never see pavement?:confused:

Don't stone me, but I'm building a fiberglass bodied '36 roadster and I am to the point of preparing for the convertible top. What size and kind of snaps did Henry use on a real one? I think I have found two sizes of snaps, 3/8 and 5/8". What is the spacing between them? Thanks in advance.

Is the 8ba oil pump with the helical cut gears significantly better than a 59a with straight cut gears? I'm trying to decide if it would improve oil pressure in a 59a to install an 8ba pump rather than the stock pump. Of course, I understand that the actual condition of the pump is a factor...

I acquired this 59A with a Mallory Magnetic Breakerless Distributor. I have put it on an engine that is mounted in my newly built test stand. I tried my new contraption yesterday and did not see any spark. That prompted me to search for a test procedure to see if the ignition module is shot...

Hi All, Just acquired a set of crusty old Weiand heads for an 8BA. At first I thought I had a couple of busted off spark plugs that someone could not get out. I did the acetone/ATF soak and they came out fine. But, it was then I noticed that those two were the larger thread, 7/8" socket old...

I just acquired a '37 block, at least that is what the PO says it is and it is a 21 stud. I only got one head with it. Doing the search here, I see that I could block off the lower water outlets and install the '35/'36 lower ports with '35/'36 heads. But, I was wondering, could you like wise...

I bought one of those AMPCO top oilers to install under the hood as an interesting option, so mostly just for looks. But, being as how all of the plumbing will be there, I might actually try to use it occasionally with maybe MMO or Seafoam. Anyone use these on their flatmotor? If so, please...
