Looking for the correct wiper motor for my '39 Ford CC. This one is pictured in the 1938-39 Ford Book as put out by the EFV8 club. Page 3-17. The motor is a Trico SK model, #78-17508-B. Thank you, Phil

I am trying to install an original wiper motor in my '39 CC. I believe (as I remember from my '40 sedan) there is a bracket that mounts to the under-dash (or firewall?) of which I do not have. I can not find a repop part anywhere. Would anyone know where I should look for one or, could someone...

After getting zapped by a hot spark plug wire, as per the current poster of the "Good Spark" thread, I came to realize that plug wires are not very well insulated. I then noticed that my plug wires are all touching metal surfaces. Along with the wire loom itself, metal surfaces like the heads...

Stole this from Hagerty. https://youtu.be/L_AY8bH3vxY

My '39 convertible coupe came with a standard rear right fender with no tail light and no rumble seat steps. I was able to install a tail light in the right fender using measurements from the light in the left fender. Now my problem is determining where the two rumble seat steps should be...

Looking for the two rumble seat steps that are installed on the rear fender of a '39 ford convertible coupe.

FOUND A REPO FROM WESCOTT. PLEASE DELETE THIS AD.Looking for a rumble seat striker plate for a '39 ford convertible coupe. This is the piece that attaches to the rumble deck lid.

The photo here is of a 1939 convertible coupe. This is not my car. Please note an arrow drawn on the photo to point to an object located under the dash and just above the pedals. My '39 does not have this object. In fact, there are lots of objects my '39 does not have. This being one of them...

Looking for about a 2" drop in the rear. Will removing every-other leaf in a stock 39' spring give me that? Thanks

I am trying to arrange the shipping of an engine that I just bought. What would be the approximate weight of a complete 59AB? Includes heads, intake, water pumps, fan/gen etc. No clutch or ******. I'm just guessing, about 1,000 LB's? Thank you.

I have tried to research this but I can not find the Mercury that this hubcap came off of. Was guessing about '53 or '54. I have two and would like to Know. Thank you if you have an idea. It is 10 1/2 " dia. Phil

Can you guess which side of the garage is home to my '39? Kind of embarrassing. :rolleyes:

Is there a "how to" manual or instruction sheet that will help me set the gaps on my two new caps on a '39 helmet? I have the distributor off and with the coil and the opposite cap removed, I still can not access all the cap to rotor contacts with a feeler gauge to set the gaps. Thank you, Phil

Online ordered an Optima battery From Speedway this past Sunday, 2/14 (VD). Received it today, 2/16. TWO DAYS!!! Now those guys could, "Make the trains run on time".

Need a good running or a rebuilt 221 or 239 cu V8. Would prefer a '39 to "48 Ford or Merc. Complete or just block. Please PM. Thanks, Phil

Can you kill a coil, which has a built in resistor, by trying to start a car, after reinstalling the stock type resistor under the dash? 1939 221 V8, helmet distributor, 6V. Coil is tube type with adapter on distributor. There is electrical current to the coil and to the condenser with the...

I need some advice on where to look now for the root cause of my engine running like a slug up hill in a sand storm. My engine is a 39' 221 V8 that's stock except for finned heads and 2X2 carbs with a "super" type intake. Fuel is supplied by a Holley electric pump and regulator set at 2.5 psi...

Does anyone know of a way to separate the stainless center part of the hubcap from the painted steel part? It appears that it would be very easy to ruin the stainless piece in trying to remove it from the steel piece. The EFV8 book on 38-39 Fords say that the center piece is "pressed" on. Maybe...

I absolutely hate the noise from my (Holley) electric fuel pump that is mounted to the rear cross member of my '39. Is there any way to muffle the noise without causing damage to the pump? I thought of perhaps using that foam rubber stuff that you can wrap around water pipes to keep from...
