I have a friend, here in Missouri, that's looking at a 33 truck. It's a barn/field find, without a tittle. What are the red tape hoops that can be expected in Missouri?

In my 39 I recently put a Offy Regular Duel intake w/ a pair of rebuilt 94s, model 59. At first I had the rear carb blocked off with a solid gasket, between carb & intake. No fuel line connected to rear. But I did have the linkage connected to both carbs. Run good on the front carb and the...

I've got my brake system ready, with cleaned lines & new MC and wheel cylinders, for fluid. All the past posts state that Dot 5 gives a spongy feel to the pedal. And that this is normal. My question is, Now Spongy? Is it enough that you feel that you have to pump the brakes? Or maybe 1/2" more...

After a rebuild,I installed the oil pan. Then today I was going to do the flywheel & clutch. It does'nt work that way. flywheel then the pan. :eek: Now I need another pan gasket set. Called NAPA, he said he could get one, if I had a Fel-Pro# Anyone know the Fel-Pro part # for the oil pan gasket...

I have a good working Holley/Ford 94, Model 59. But one of the 5, 10-32 screws that hold the top to the body is stripped. It's the one in front by the fuel inlet. What's a good repair? I was thinking, tap out to 5mm or 12-24. Or maybe JB Weld then tap back to 10-32. What's a home grown fix for...

I found one vender that shows this adaptor. It allows the earlier 3 bolt cover/dizzy with a later 42/48 cam. Just want to compare price/shipping cost with others. Who carries them?

They have the valves & hardened seats. At 30° intake, 45° exhaust. I know stock in/ext valves are 45°. I understand there is some benefit going with a 30° intake valve. If true, has or does anyone use these Speedway valves?

Started to strip my 59a block down for a rebuild. Got to the oil pump. Removed the screen & pickup, the lock wire & pump bolt into the block. I assume it should drop out of the block.This thing won't move. Am I missing something or is there a trick to get it out. It'll be replaced but I don't...

I know that there are several good "engine" rebuilders in the KC area. But, I'm looking for a good flathead shop. Can anyone recommend a shop in the NW Missouri/NE Kansas area to do the machine work & assembly.

In your state, how long do you have to wait to get your historic plates and be on the road ? I ask, because I applied, under Missouri's historic tags, for a YOM tag, 3 weeks ago. Local DMV can not do historic plates in Mo & must be sent to the central office. All requirments were sent in and...

Is there a source for the clips that attach the hood side panels "cat whiskers" on a 39 Standard? I bought the complete body trim clip kit from Mac' but no small clip that are used on the hood or grill whisker trim. Any sources ??

Back in the 50's- 60's & 70's, on overhead engines, I used a vacuuam gauge to set timing. Is this still a good way to dial in the timing on a Flathead. The reason I ask is, I have a MSD dis, and no way to put a timing light on it. I have a soild 17-17½ vac at idle, on a stock engine. Are these...

Front end on, still needs some tweaks ;)

On 38's & 39 Standard models,does the welting on the front fenders go the entire lenght of the fender(body, hood sides & grill) or just between the body and grill? :confused:

I know that most have thousands of $$s before your car/truck is ready for the road. At what point during the build do you insure your current project. When it's ready for the road? After the start or somewhere in the middle :confused:

Looking at hidden antennas, Mr Gasket, AutoLoc HAB or others. The Mr. Gasket one says AM/FM & is about $25. AutoLoc says FM at $45. :confused: Do they work? Which hidden antenna have you used?

What the heck is the thumb print size indent, on the inside of the glove box door for???

About 30 some days ago I ordered parts for Bob Drake totaling about $140. At the time the ¼ glass seales were on back order. I called and asked, What happens Now? Was told, as soon as they came in I would receive a call asking if I still wanted them. Last week a lady called & said they were in...

I've made new door panels out of 1/8" masonite, which is the same thickness as the original panel. I have new inside cranks/handles, escutcheons & springs. No matter how I try to assemble, spring-panel-escutcheon-handle or panel-spring-escutcheon-handle, there's about a 3/8" gap once the handle...
