    Will a 48 trans bolt up to an EAB?

    I'm starting to notice a deep knock in the bellows of my 59A engine in a 48 sedan stock drive train, no OD on the trans, so I'm trying to think ahead. I have a complete EAB in the garage, and I was wondering if I start going through the EAB and making sure that engine is solid, would it be a...

    I'm wondering how to remove the stainless trim all down the sides and hood. Are the clips the style you pry at the bottom and lift up?

    Window Regulator Skipping

    By chance does anyone have a picture of the passenger door window regulator for a 48 sedan? The other day when it was hot here my son went to roll down the window but it was stuck from the bead melting. Before I could tell him stop,it let loose but now it skips and binds. I can get the window...

    59A Breaks up around 1/2 throttle

    Being new to flatheads, and starting off with one that wouldn't run, I'm happy to say I've put around 1500 miles on it this summer with the help of you guys. My only issue that I need to resolve now is even warmed up to operating temperature (at the 1/2 mark) the engine starts breaking up at...

    Cowl Vent keeps falling

    I have a 48 sedan, when I got the car, there was a cotter pin going through the middle pivot. I replace that with a 1/4" bolt and nylock nut with slight tension on the bolt. Also the one rod was not connected to the back of the radio, so I connected that as well. But while driving it still...

    Installed a crab cap, now no spark

    I'm so frustrated, as I'm trying to make my car more dependable, I've made it just the opposite. I have a 48 59a in a sedan. I've been getting an intermittent misfire when it rains so I assumed ignition. I still have 6v positive ground, with a Petronix module in the distributor, and Petronix...

    Gas Pedal / Throttle Linkage

    The other day when I took my car (48 Sedan) for the first good running drive the throttle rod that comes up through the floor disconnected from the the back of the gas pedal. I got under there and looked, and it seems it's just a straight rod that the gas pedal rests on, with a recess of the gas...

    Petronix Install / Coil Question 59A '48 Sedan

    I'm trying to install a Petronix ignition, and getting confused with the wiring. The car is still 6V positive ground, 59A engine. The wiring diagram is referencing positive and negative terminals on the coil, but the coil terminals say "BAT" and "Dist". Then off of the ignitor the black wire...

    Needle and Seat question

    I'm having a flooding issue with my carb which I've narrowed down to the needle and the o ring. When I bought the car the previous owner told me the o ring would stick to the needle if the car wasn't run for a few days. So my question, is there a set up that uses an o ring that doesn't swell up?

    Waterpumps

    Sorry if I offend anyone with what is probably a beaten subject. Just trying to get my ducks in a row. I've done a search on here and read most of the threads on buying waterpumps or having them rebuilt, however most of those threads were from 2010. So here's my situation, I have a 48 sedan with...

    New guy intro

    Good evening everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a newbie here, been on the HAMB for a while. I recently picked up a stock 48 2dr Sedan and I'm not very familiar with it yet, and it needs a few things before it's roadworthy. My goal is to make a reliable daily driver out of it. I also...
