In 1957 when I was 15 I bought a 29 roadster pickup from "behind the gas station." Instead of hotrodding it I restored it except I painted the frame white and the engine red. It was complete except the bottom end of the hornbutton rod and the bottom parts of the top bows were broken off...

After a long and good life ethanol ate my electric fuel pump diaphragm. It turned it to black, gooey tar. Wondering if replacements are available. The pump has no maker's name on it. The only markings other than IN and OUT are: Model 6V-E11M Pat. No. 3273086 10-76 (Maybe a date?)...

Why do they call Chebbys stovebolts? These are ALL of the headbolts for an old Chebby. They are 1/2" coarse threads 5 1/4" and 2" long. If you are benefiting from Ford engineering pat yourself on the back. This is from an early 4-cyl head that they used on Model T's for racers.

Helping a widow clean out her late husband's car parts storage and came across a 4-cylinder Chevy engine. Remembering these Chevy heads were adapted to T's for racing back in the day it got saved. Kits are still available. It is an overhead valve head with esposed rockers and pushrods...

Rebuilt 1938 V8-60 engine in Hobart welder sold new in 1938. Engine runs great but water pumps started to leak and I can't find it. New radiator, sheet metal, tires and wheels, etc. Welder is partially rewired. Excellent showpiece to haul behind your Ford pickup to shows. John Hamilton...

Who in the area south of Dallas can work on a V8-60. The water pumps leak into the crankcase. This problem has been addressed here before but none of the suggestions worked. Thanks.

Had water running into the crankcase and got a lot of good advice that showed it was the waterpumps. Got rebuilding kits and rebuilt both. The cores are the ones that came from the engine. Rebuilding kits included shafts with bearings, bushings, rotors, springs and the rubber noses. Filled...

Time to replace the little engine's oil pan with new gaskets and seals. Any good advice I need to know first? Thanks as always.

Every time you take out the spark plug to check it and put it back the gasket gets a little flatter. I have some that allow a small amount of combustion gas to escape. Does anyone sell just the copper gaskets? Thanks.

OK, I forgot. The V8-60 water pump has two large gaskets - a fiber one and a copper one. Which one goes next to the block and is some gasket sealer needed. Thanks.

wrong forum. sorry

Does anyone know of a SHINY black manifold paint? Most of them are flat black. Thanks.

Thanks to your help the water leak into the crankcase wasn't a bad head gasket or the rail at the bottom of the block rusting out so that left the water pumps. The pumps had rebuild kits that included everything but the body. These are tapered pumps (instead of straight side) so they have...

Need a tapered, 2-piece water pump for a V8-60. The straight-bodied pump will not work. Thanks, John Hamilton

Wanting to hook up a pair of driving lights. I got an Essex 16-1 headlight relay which has a 20 amp fuse on it. This is not a horn relay but a relay made for the constant use of lights. How do I hook it up? The contacts are marked G, S, L and B. Thanks.

Does the dipstick tube come out of the oilpan bracket? I'd rather take it out than remove the header. The engine is in a custom frame and pan hits the frame on the other side so it needs to be rotated down on this side. I know the bracket is made of unobtainium so I don't want to break it...

Someone makes engine stand adapters for engine stands for the V8-60. Can someone give me contact info please? Thanks.

Pretty much says it all; doesn't it? V8-60 engine overhauled a few years ago but not used. We cleaned it up and rebuilt the water pumps and accessories and it ran great. Had good oil pressure and didn't overheat. Then I put in antifreeze. It started leaking so I checked the dipstick...
