Sat for 40 years & recently got vehicle in near-to fully roadworthy condition. Was having an issue that while sitting & idling the temp would slowly rise, it would rocket to 180 after only a couple miles of 45mph. This with no T-stats or anything else to regulate flow. It didn't use coolant or...

Replacing the exhaust cross-over pipe on my 8BA due to a thumb-sized rot hole in the lower passenger corner. Saw what appears to be a possible factor insert that's not present in the very-good-used replacement off ebay. Looks like it would obstruct >1/2 the exhaust pipe opening...

Apologies for the long winded-ness. Have a custom body vehicle my dad put together in the 60s from a couple early 50s Ford coupes. The engine is an original 8BA flathead that has never been opened. Water outlets in front of head...dizzy in front of passenger head. Driven steadily off & on...

Car brakes. Other than engine its the only "stock" thing about this vehicle. Looking for the banjo fitting + other required parts to connect the brake line + brake switch on the end of the stock single master cylinder. The pieces that were on the ORIGINAL MC sheared off when I attempted to...

I'm thoroughly stumped... I've tried 2 different tail light converters...a CURT and a HOPKINS. As the rest of the vehicle wiring is in place I only have to finalize the wiring on the arse-end...but I've run into a wall. I'm doing testing in the back of the vehicle with a healthy battery...

HELLO! New here and figured I might get slightly more active help here for any issues than I would at Ford Truck Enthusiasts. A little bit about the vehicle before you burn me at the stake please. :eek: Back in the 60s the dad made himself a 6-wheeler (tandem drive rear end) meant to resemble...
