And I FINALLY found one and bought it all. Come to find out,even the tailshaft and the driveshaft are different than those on the flat V-8 FOMs. Can't say this stuff is rare,but a couple of years ago the Henry Ford Museum people told me they had never seen a flat 6 FOM. Now that I have...

WTB a set of cast iron headers for the 226 flat 6 in my 51 biz coupe. Not sure if these headers for a passenger car will work in a PU,or vice versa. Would also like to buy 3x1 carb linkages.

I will take dual exhaust manifolds made from a truck exhaust and a car exhaust as an alternative,but much prefer a set of cast iron headers like Heddman used to make. Yeah,I know I can cut and weld exhaust ports or blocking plates in stock exhausts,but I don't want to cut up stock exhaust...

Looking for a finned aluminum head for my 51 FORD flat 6 .Want between 8 to 1 and 10 to 1 compression.

Ok,so the weather turned nice,my chemo isn't kicking my butt or destroying my memory quite as bad,so I start driving the non-power steering 51 Ford Vicky again. Then one day I notice the fan seems to have been kissing the radiator on the passenger side. My first thought was,"no problem. I will...

COPD has me huffing and puffing for air so badly I don't have the strength left to turn the steering wheel on my 51 to get into and out of parking spaces and make sharp turns in parking lots,so I either need to sell it or put PS in it. I have done some checking and found out there is no room...

I now have COPD,and it is almost impossible for me to drive either of my stock 51 Fords because I just don't have the strength to turn the steering wheels for parking and parking lot maneuvers. What are my options for a power steering conversion? Is there a conventional PS box conversion and...

Put new 2:15x75x15 radial tires on my 51 Victoria,and am wondering if anyone knows the exact amount of positive camber in degrees that is needed. Car drives like a dream going in a straight line,but you do NOT want to hit a 35 MPH curve running 50. You know right away that you screwed up. I...

I have spent hours sending emails and searching the web for answers to the "What carb and dash pot do 51 Fords with FOM transmissions use?" with no luck at all. Not even the top carb kit and rebuild web companies have been able to tell me. One even sent me a photo of the weird 4 bolt base carb...

It's already hard enough to find parts numbers,advice,interchange,etc,etc,etc for Flathead and early OHV 6 215-223 engines and related parts. What we need is for admin to create them so we don't clutter up the V-8 threads and both the 6 and the 8 guys will both benefit.

I seem to remember hearing a long time ago that if you add radial tires to a shoebox Ford that you need to use different numbers when aligning the front suspension. Is this true,and if it is,does anyone know the settings I should use since I just put new 215R 75 15 radials and new 6 inch wide...

Looking to buy a pair of nice glass taillights for my 1951 Ford so I can use halogen bulbs in it. Don't need anything but the glass lenses,but will consider buying everything if it is nice and the price is right.

Need the clear plastic shift indicator for a 51 to 54 Ford. Also need a bellhousing,single barrel carb with the dashpot,and the trim piece over the steering colum for a 51 Ford with the flathead 226 cubic inch 6 cylinder engine. If anyone knows if this is the same bellhousing as the FOM...

Anybody know where I can buy one that is a quality product? Not interested in aluminum radiators. I am trying to keep this one mostly stock. My car is a 51 business coupe with the original flathead 6 in it. BTW,I have found a source in Ca that sells them,but I would have to wait 4 to 8 weeks...

So,I bought a brand new master cylinder from Dennis Carpenter for my 51. Brakes,suspension,and tires are not areas where I take chances. The MC works beautifully. Makes me wonder why anybody bothered with power brakes. Howsumever! Was walking under the car that was up on a rack today because I...

Want to buy an ignition lock nut for my 1951 Ford passenger car. Part number is 11580

I picked up a T chassis and front axle as part of a trade,and need help identifying it so I can put it up for sale. The chassis had a big emergency brake mounted on the outside of the left chassis rail,and that leads me to think it may be pre-20's. It was used at one time as a platform for a...

I need the hood dowel,spring,washers,and nuts for a 1951 passenger car.

I finally got the 51 to the point where it is safe to drive,and took it out for a 30 mile or so spin today. The good news is the flat 6 has plenty of power for highway driving. Had no trouble at all keeping up with 60-65 MPH traffic It also had a really solid feel with nothing clanking or...
