    Taxi Cab??

    Hi all. It's been a while since I've been on here, but thought I'd share this. I was watching a YouTube video by a hot rod channel I follow and they showed a clip of this car at Hershey last year. Note appears to be fordor, but it has the coupe pillar that no actual fordor had. Rare taxi?

    Rough Idle When Pointed Uphill

    Hi all. I'm scratching my head a little with this one. I have a good Zenith 2 on my car that runs great down the road with good response and power. The idle get's a little odd under certain circumstances. It idles great when the car is on a flat surface or if the car is pointed downhill, but it...

    Alternator Always Charging

    Hi all. Drove my coupe accross town the other day, probably 50-60 miles total. Even after driving for a while at speed, the ammeter sat at a consistent 9-10 amps charge. It jumped up to 15- 20 amps after cold start, ammeter still sits at 0 when engine is off.. Tested the voltage at the...

    Borg Warner Coupler

    Hello all! Does anyone have detailed pictures of what the coupler looks like between the output shaft of a Borg Warner and the pinion? I have reason to believe that mine is on the way out and I'm curious if the coupler has pins in it maybe that hold it together? Thanks in advance!

    Early Mallory - Manual Advance

    Hi all, this Mallory is in my Dad's parts and I'm looking for any history. It is dual points and manual spark advance. I thought all the early Mallory distributors had a Y designation. This one is very worn on the ID plate, but says C 11. Any knowledge on this one?

    Clutch issues... - UPDATE

    Hi all, I posted a couple weeks ago about clutch issues on my fordor and I thought you'd find it interesting to see what I found. If you look at the pictures, you can see that the center hub of the disc that holds the springs was separating. The inside of the clutch fingers was actually...

    Clutch issues...

    Hi all, I was driving my 29 Fordor yesterday and had an interesting issue. I noticed that as the clutch pedal was fully depressed, it seemed like it was still grabbing and not fully disengaged and was difficult to get into gear. My first thought of course was that the clutch maybe was about to...

    Rear Main Cap Opinons

    I've noticed recently a low knock on cold starts that would go away within 30 seconds. I finally decided it was time to drop the pan and check things. I was disappointed to find that the rear main cap babbitt is crumbling around and near the front thrust surface. The rest of the babbitt in the...

    I have a 29 Briggs Fordor and I would like to repaint the rain gutters because the paint is flaking off. I see a screw at both ends of the rain gutters. If you remove both screws, do the gutters just come off or are the mounted some other way? Thanks!
