For those that use a 12 Volt 3 Ohm coil and aren't happy with the favorite Bosch Blue (Epoxy filled) or Beru Blue (Oil filled) now being made in Mexico, there are still some Beru coils made in Germany. There may still be old stock available for the Bosch that are made in Brazil or Germany at...

I could use at least 3 good used distributor shaft gears from an 8BA distributor. I need them to convert my vintage Mallory and Accel dual point distributors that were originally for a Chevy V8. Thanks, Scott in AZ.

Items pictured $10 each plus shipping or just make an offer. I have to put a price up. I'd hate to see this stuff end up in the dump. I will try to test the timing light before selling it if anyone shows interest. I don't know if the brass or stainless cylinders work. I can provide more pics and...

A friend in his 70's is getting rid of stuff and gave me these. He got them from his grandfather. He worked at a Ford dealership as a mechanic I'm told. He also had a 40 or 41 Ford that he remembers grandpa having. Neither of us want this stuff to end up in the dump so hopefully the Ford Barn...

One more thing I'm trying to identify for the widow of my friend. Trying to put the right parts with the cars being sold.

A friend of mine recently passed. His widow called and asked if I could help identify some of the stuff he has. This is one of them. It looks like a type of spring compressor but I don't know what it would be for. He had a couple Model A's, a 37 Ford, a Model T at one time and a 1950 Bentley...

A friend asked me to help him with his 36 no start. I have ZERO experience with this early engine. I do have a 52 F3 with 8RT and I'm a retired Cat mechanic so basic knowledge. The car was running when it was parked. Not sure how long ago. He's having memory problems. Maybe parked 6 months...

I did a number on my oil fill tube swapping it to another manifold on my 52 F3. It works but doesn't look too good. Are there stock replacements out there?

I know this is a long shot but, does anybody have or know where to get springs for my Mallory dual point? I converted a #2748201 to fit my 8BA Flathead and need to dial in the advance curve. The 29014 Advance Kit now seems to be unobtainium. SOMEBODY must have some on a shelf SOMEWHERE. I...

Looking for a divorced case overdrive. Watson Model 2021 or similar. Dana, Spicer, Brown-Lipe

I did a search and didn't find much regarding quality of the different brands available. I see Offenhauser, Cloyes, Sealed Power, Elgin and Melling. I can't find where they are made. I prefer U.S.A if possible but, best quality is priority. Many parts numbers are the same or similar. Is this...

You guys already answered my questions about the pitted deck surface. What do you think about these two cylinders?

I'm getting ready to pull my 52 F3 down for body and paint as well as engine build. I'm gathering parts and got hold of a Merc crank, EAB cam and EAB heads. I'd like to run 3 ring pistons with a more modern ring pack. The only cast versions I see is EGGE in .125 over which I may do if the block...

Hopefully these images are good enough for the experts to see. I get to check this block out before I buy it. I have found NO cracks, it is STD bore and I pressure checked it. The pitting on the deck bothers me. This is my first Flathead build so I am asking for opinions on how much it will...

My truck runs and drives but I'm collecting parts for my engine rebuild. It's going to be a mild street engine in my F3. Looking for good torque. I have 32" tall tires, a 3.73 rear gear and the T98 4 speed. Walt DuPont fixed me up with an EAB cam and I have a set of EAB heads. I have no idea...

I have an off idle stumble on my 52 F3 239. Starts right up cold or hot and idles fine. Almost seems like the accelerator pump squirt is delayed. It works, just seems late. I put a kit in it when I first got the truck just to get it going. Today I pulled the carb off and took a closer look. Got...

I got a couple old Accel Dual Point distributors for next to nothing so I adapted one to my 52 8RT. I'm having issues finding the right springs to set up my advance. The springs that were in the Accel to start with are the lightest I have. I'm only running one at the moment and the advance...

Looking for a decent ribbed style rear bumper for my pickup. Brackets too if you have them. I don't mind some repairs but, has to be reasonable. I know there are reproductions but they are chrome. I will be painting mine. Scott

SOLD Good solid builder. Absolutely no rust through anywhere. Not even in the usual places. Surface rust and a few minor dents. No bondo. Door hinge pins are even smooth and tight. Vent window frames free and no rust. Needs glass. I have a new back glass and vent glass for it. Someone put what...

I'm hoping Ol' Ron or JWL will chime in on this. I got JWL's book for Christmas and it answered a lot of questions I had for my build. I was amazed that headers and dual exhaust did nothing for performance at the lower RPM range I'll be operating my truck in. Good to know, it will save me...
