I have a Stromberg 48 carb and a Ford 59 carb. Both of them will leak out their fuel bowls overnight. The fuel includes ethanol, of course. Why?:(

Have to admit that with the advent of electronic ignition and fuel injection I don't worry about my car starting under any meteorologic condition. They don't fail. I do think that I am reading about more engine fires than i used to. High pressure system failures? Is anyone building...

This may have been discussed earlier but I cannot find it. Where can I purchase a replacement economizer valve for a 94 that is capable of dealing with the alcohol "enhanced" fuel I need to use? The ones I have purchased leak.

I have a pair of well worn, original 1932 running boards. Both of them have well-defined surfaces that are close to white where the original surface has worn away. What is this all about?

I have, I think, an original '32 running board. It has white rubber under the "stuff" ?

The lines of body welding in my '32 5 window, on the inside, are very regular. Look like automatic, not hand done. How was that done back then?

Watched several utubes on eliminating ethanol from pump gasoline. Aside from the flammability aspects, comments. Like, does it work?

1947 59A standard ignition Looking down on the distributor sitting on my bench. The vacuum brake is at the top. The right ignition point gauges at about .015. Which is in spec. The left one, however, gauges at .009 or a little less. What effect does the smaller gap have, if any, on the timing...

So, I looked through the archives but couldn’t find the answer so here comes the question. . . How do I determine if my carburetor is a stromberg 48 or a 97? Interestingly, Mac’s (gulp)🤪 has a page or two that describe what the various ones look like... BUT !!! All of their pictures of the...

I have a late '32 V8 cast aluminum oil pan. Without the steel swash plates pan. Help with dimensions or photos would be appreciated.

Does the name "Gary Collie" ring a bell? Met him in 1989. Had a barn full of 32 stuff.

Trying to get my '32 5 window up Need channels for the moving rear window. On-lines prices are awesome - Can get parts channels for two doors for less than for one window. Why? It's all the same sorta right stuff anyway.

Where do I find a rumble lid handle for a '32 that kinda works? I have bought several and returned them because instead of a square shaft the right size turned down and then threaded they seem to be the right thread size then squared down which makes them too small to fit the square hole in the...

I have original 5 window 32 quarter window trim rubber. It is usable, but extremely brittle. I ordered replacement stuff many years ago from ??? It doesn't match any dimension or shape except glass thickness. Anyone have a suggestion?

Many, many years ago, I took the transmission out of my '32 V8 and replaced something that had failed. I don't remember what, now. Taking a transmission out of a '32 is a BIG DEAL. For those of us who have done it. Please tell me I don't have to do it again. Now, the trans pops out of...

Does anyone have drawings, or pictures, of the cast aluminum oil pan swash plates installed in the 32-33-34 v-8? I would like to whack up one but would like it to be cross-eyed close.

I am often amused (there is a better word, less critical, but I cannot remember it) by comments by some of the younger members of our community, when they discover something that we (the old dogs) have known since Franklin was president. And bless them for trying to learn:)

Do any of you remember/know of Gary Collie? He had a barn-full of 1932 parts in a south-west suburb of Chicago in 1988. Got an NOS kingpin rebuild kit and a almost new gas gauge from him that year.

Received my most recent version today. It is good reading, even if you do not buy from them. But. . . The front cover is of a '32 Model B two-door sedan. Kinda - sortof. The most sold model of that year. Fact. The 2-door was popular. But. . . The picture on the page which was supposed...

Back when Harry was dealing with Joe, and Doug had a whole bunch of guys in foxholes, my dad showed me how to start a flathead in winter in Chicago. I am somewhat amused by the problems the newbies are having. But The fuel is different, and no where near as volatile. The engines are...
