I have a need for an original or reproduction of the rear outlet left manifold rumored to have been used on early 50s trooper cars for duel exhaust. At one time I bought a reproduction from one of the major parts supliers. It was a terrible casting and I returned it. At about the same time I...

My son and I are starting on our 1937 Coupe The '39 brakes were seized. So we decided to replace the shoes, wheel cylinders and springs. We bought a kit for '39 brakes. We started at the rear. The parts were made in China. (JUNK)! Instructions included a note saying to grind off material...

90 years and so many spent helping fellow barners. Talk about NOSTALGIA !!

Some descriptions describe this tool for Ford Model A and T vehicles. Is it specific or a generic valve spring tool. Does it do the job? Apparently it is an early version of a DZ tool because DEE-ZEE is spelled out on the orange release lever. I don't do pictures but, here is an Ebay ad for...

Sent PM, sorry for delay, Howard

Recently I saw an ad for a '37 on Ebay. Parts listed as going with car included a "hand brake" conversion. The service brakes on my car have been converted to hydraulics ('39), the emergency brake cables are a mess rubbing on the wish bones on their way to the drums. I contacted the seller...

I'm finding 2 part numbers for this item at various suppliers. Some list the PN as 51A-5165-B (or A), others are showing 51A-10718. I think they're both the same, what's your take. One is Job Lot; are they still in business?? Thanks, Howard

Is there any difference in the hogshead used on the 6 cyl and V8 trucks using the granny 4 speed? Or is the difference at the front of the half bell? Thanks, Howard

I'm thinking of building a flathead engine test stand. I'm going to use the 1/2 Bell so rear mounting will be the same for all engines. My question: Since the starter plates are interchangeable between the cast iron bell used on the '48-'52 trucks and the stamped unit used on the '49-E'51...

I wanted a way to pull non-running vehicles from outside my garage back in. This would allow me to push/pull the vehicle out to pressure wash or other messy job then pull it back up into the garage. I have cemented the center section of a 2" receiver into the floor and made an insert that...

I'm thinking of buying one of these. I've read a few posts where these were used to check head temps. and other areas including header outlets, I assume to diagnose problems. When I looked into them I found prices all over the place. Seems that one criteria that ramps up the price is the...

I have an Offenhauser 1078 4bbl manifold but it's at the engine builder and I can't measure it. I have read about every thread/post about these manifolds and carb. options but saw no specifications. I have considered another Offenhauser 1078 for another flathead that I have and was curious how...

Most of the bolts, nuts and sheet metal screws that I removed from my '50 club coupe grill area, including parking light trim, look like like they came from the miscellaneous fastener pile. I called Roy Nacewicz and he does not supply the fasteners. Does anyone know another source? Thanks, Howard

Seems to be a tool that most of the super tuners are using to set-up the SBC distributors for our flatheads. For those of you that have one, what brands, features etc. have you found to be the most helpful? If I google, what is the best keyword to use to see what's available? Thanks...
