Howdy, I have a barn find 1941 Mercury block in the machine shop and after a parts wash, it looks like it was freshly bored, covered in grease, and stuck in the corner to collect dust for decades. It was originally 3.1875, but is now 3.280.. which is roughly 3/32 or 0.090 over. The bore is so...

Picked up this pile of parts for super cheap. I think I see some T parts mixed in, so I don't know if these V8 parts ever went together or if this was a pile of leftovers. Based on my research, this is: An approx 1941 block because of the "raised" intake area, A Mercury because of the round...

I'm in the market for a seat for my 1929 Closed Cab Pickup. This is what I'm working with. I want to stay stock, so no minivan or S-10 or anything else. I've mentally swallowed the pill for the cost of a new complete seat from one of the current suppliers but I don't know what other mounting...

I've built up the best of a few transmissions and I'm re-assembling one on the bench right now. Turns out, my best candidate is an early transmission case that lacks the 4 mounting holes for the throw out bearing carrier/snout. I haven't found how the carrier is attached on a 1928, but I'm...

I need the fwd of the two bell housing parts, the one that bolts to the motor around the flywheel. I need one that is not cracked. I can paint it. Shipping to St Louis, MO.

I just finished up rebuilding my Zenith 2.. almost. Everything was straight-forward and smooth, but I had what looked like one jet left over. Looking online and they show a seat for the gas adjust needle. So, I peeked down in that hole and it looks like my needle seat is integral to the casting...

My CCPU project has no wiring in it. So, I'm in the market for a complete harness and am looking at my options at Mikes and just want to double-check my logic. The options for my year are: One Bulb with Cowl Light One Bulb with Cowl Light & Turn Signal Two Bulb without Cowl Light One Bulb...

I'm in the market for a bench seat for my CCPU. It doesn't have to be perfect, nor restored. Just something I can sit on. I spend my time in Los Angeles, CA and St. Louis, MO. Thanks, Nathan

In the pile of parts that I'm sorting through to make a couple good, (mostly) stock engines (a 29 AA and a 30 A), I've found these three oil pumps, with some similarities and differences. For instance, the one on the left has a couple big screws visible and a top collar at 90 degrees to the...

EDIT: Found a radiator. Thanks, folks!

Howdy folks. I'm Nathan; 29 years old (at time of writing), and admirer of old machines. This thread will be about my 1929 Closed Cab Pickup project I recently bought. First, for those who like stories, my history with Model As: My first experience with a Model A was being aware that the...
