I have long considered installing an electric fuel pump and had my eye on Airtex E8902, 6-V, 2-4 lbs output pressure. Last time I saw them listed in any of the repro parts suppliers they were fairly reasonable and seemed to be a popular item. WELL...now they seem to have disappeared from all the...

I heard on the radio that a big snow storm is coming tonight with possible ice. My '55 Fairlane sits outside always and in years past, prolonged ice and snow buildup on the door handles has caused the total destruction (pitting) of the chrome on the handles. ONE ice or snow storm is all it...

I'm considering having my trunk lid "dunked" in metal cleaning solution (which removes all old paint and rust). Some of the bituminous/tar substance that was sprayed on at the factory on the underside has fallen off and slid down to the bottom of the trunk lid at the back. When the metal sweats...

Anybody with a '55 or 56 Ford wagon or Courier, please take a couple photos of the frame crossmember that has the brackets that hold up the front of the gas tank. Not interested in the brackets, just the top plane of the crossmember, to see if it is perfectly flat or whatever, so the photo...

I got the '55 Ford 292 Y-block running today on all 8-cyls for the first time since I abandoned it in the garage last December. Still, I am not satisfied with it. The engine idle speed seems to have slowed and sometimes, the engine surges between 500RPM and around 400RPM repeatedly. I increased...

This is on my '55 Ford sedan with 292 V8/2bbl loadomatic dizzy and Ford EBU carb. First of all I went back and re-read all of runmikeyruns misfire post that went from July 2018 thru Oct 2018. It ended up that one of his valves was stuck, but he got it loose with PB blaster and he replaced the...

I believe this is for the anti-lock brake system, but don't know what this does or how it causes the brakes to operate. I bought this 2007 F150 XL (white work package) new at a dealer and kept it in excellent condition through the years. It was stolen late last month and only had 54K miles on...

A few decades ago, I redid my '55 vent windows with all new rubber and fuzzy weatherstripping. In order to accomplish this, the old rivets holding the bottom mounting bracket to the window guide channel and the rivets holding the rear (lock-side) weatherstrip to the stainless division bar must...

They have been cleaned on the outside, primered and painted with new black enamel. These come with the original brass screws in excellent condition and new star...

I found two mounting brackets in the garage that I don't know what they go to. The first picture appears to be a pair of identical power steering pump brackets, but they are NOT for a Y-block. Does anybody know what engine and year these are for? Maybe a 6-cylinder? The second photo is also a...

My '55 Courier has heavy duty rear leaf springs in the back (made by St Louis Spring Co somewhere around 1999). They are thicker than the original springs and their arch is atomic. When driving down an un-even road, the wagon frame actually twists rather than the leaf springs being bothered to...
