    How Tough They Were

    The next time you have your flathead-powered Early Ford V8 out on the road, climbing a long 6% grade at highway speeds, and you start worrying whether it’s tough enough for the job, just think of this picture of a 1935 Ford 1 1/2 ton truck, hauling two giant old-growth Douglas Fir logs, deep in...

    Sparton Horn Repair

    Does anyone know of a source for rebuilding a '35 Sparton horn? Tuning no longer works. The best I can get is a pathetic bleat from one and nothing except a click from the other.

    Bob Drake's Cast Iron Headers

    Has anyone here on the 'barn successfully installed a set of Bob Drake's cast iron headers on a 24 stud block in an otherwise stock '35 Ford which still has its original steering box? The tech adviser at Drake's says "...they should work", and I'm tempted to order a set on that semi-assurance...

    Fuel Boil/Carb to Manifold Phenolic Spacer

    Yesterday here in Sacramento, it was 79F. After a long run on the freeway, I parked my '35 in the garage. Five minutes later, I noticed a distinct gasoline smell and checked under the hood...fuel was leaking out around the throttle shaft and I could hear the gasoline percolating in the float...

    12 Volt Conversion

    1. Who sells the best 6 to 12 volt conversion package? 2. Do Mallory electronic ignition systems care if a 12V system is positive or negative ground?

    Driveline Ticking Noise, Part 2 - The Repair

    Has anyone had experience with replacing the pin that locates the driveshaft to the pinion shaft? It seems the new pin I have is a very loose fit, when it should be a snug fit. Does it snug up when the end is peened after installation? Does it matter?

    Installing a 24 Stud Engine in a Stock '35

    Is there anything that needs to be modified in terms of motor mounts when installing a 24 stud (specifically, a 29A) engine in an otherwise stock '35? Are the u-shaped risers necessary?

    Driveline "Ticking" Noise on Deceleration

    My '35 (stock drivetrain) has developed a "ticking" noise when I let the throttle off. It's not the engine (not RPM sensitive and makes it even if the engine is shut off). Not a bearing noise. Makes the same noise in all three forward gears (although most prominent in 2nd and 3rd). Obviously...

    Bubbles in Fuel Filter

    My '35 has an inline fuel filter consisting of a glass tube with chrome ends and a cartridge element. There are no detectable fuel leaks anywhere along the fuel line from the tank to the pump, yet when the car is running, there are bubbles visible inside the filter, as if it's sucking air from...
