Is anyone aware of any Flathead groups/clubs in the Sacramento, CA area? More so Roseville to Auburn area. Looking for help with the small things on my cars and would like to get some other opinions in person. Thanks

The rear transmission mount has one of the ears broken off. Has anyone had to replace JUST this piece without purchasing the entire kit?

Anyone recognize this master cylinder? Looking to replace it as its obviously leaking. Its a 2-bolt so a little different from the genaric juice-brake masters. I just need something that will fit Thanks.

Well i seem to have developed quite the noise that seemd to be coming from the oil pan? The best I can describe is it sounds like some pebbles in the pan and a slapping noise like a frayed belt. Happens in neutral as well as driving, at about 2500rpm. There is no rythm to it like a bad...

Is there any bolt on style roof rack available for a 35 sedan? I wouldnt mind modifying the rack to fit but definitly dont want to drill into my car. Ive seen those drip rail clamp-on type but my 35 doesnt have channels there just kind of a lip.

Ive noticed now on 2 seperate engines that im having an issue of the outside of the heat riser holes tearing away from the intake gasket. Is this a common issue or should I be looking for a cause? Both planes are square and intakes were true. I used white grease all over the gasket. Im...

Ive got my rebuilt 41T motor swapped into my 35 sedan. It seems as though there is a rough spot right around 2100 -2400 rpm. Is this standard on these flatheads? The original motor had a little vibration right around 2200 rpm as well so im not sure. Ive got an electronic ignition with 2x2...

Im trying to install an electronic crab distributor -speedway 910-8353 in my 39 motor. The engine starts and runs but id like to get some more info on adjustments. Is this thing adjusted by loosening the 3 mounting bolts? Where are they normally set? My motor has no timing marks so without...

Has anyone done this? I am working on a 35 sedan and would like it to sit just a bit lower. However the Mitchell OD doesnt look like it has too much more room over it. Just curious if I need to look at more cutting or if another approach is necessary. Thanks

Ive started swapping my tired 35/36 motor trans combo for a rebuilt 39 combo. Currently the 39 setup has what appears to be a flywheel and pressure plate for an 11” clutch. The original is setup for a 9”. It has a recessed flywheel with 6 fingers on the pressure plate. My question is is one...

Anyone know if all the 24 stud center outlet heads are interchangeable? I have a 38 24 stud that im toying with some aftermarket heads on. However when browsing everything says 39 or later but im hoping thats because 38 used both 21 and 24 stud engines.

I changed the oil on my 35 with what I believe to be the original motor. Just a tad bit of gray sludge on the cap which seems like good news but when inspecting the catch pan there are several clumps of what look like copper-ish material. Engine seems to run fine even with lower compression...

Is there a source for the right drum style tail-light without the license plate frame? ive found the light post and drum light but without the backing that is integrated into the license plate frame

What would be necessary if acquiring an older rebuilt engine? This particular engine would be a 24 stud engine rebuilt 6 years ago and stored indoors. The rebuild has been verified by reciepts as well as an inspection. Should i just dump oil in it and run the starter to pump oil through it or...

Im looking to “upgrade” the motor in my 35 sedan. I have found a few motors including a rebuilt 39 or 40 flathead. Are these a good motor for a daily driver type or should i be focused on a post-war engine? Im definitely not looking for a street rod but im in the CA foothills so im concerned...

Is it possible to just bolt in a later style parking brake in a 29 or do i need the entire later transmission?

Anyone found an alternative to the hydrostatic fuel gauge that would fit and look ok in a 35deluxe sedan? My hydrostatic gauge is trashed and cant seem to locate a replacement. Looking for maybe an electric like the 36 that could more or less be bolt-on.

I have fresh rebuilt 29 engine, snyder head, weber carb, Fs ignition... when i shift into 3 high with my Mitchell (55mph?) it doesnt quite seem to be able to accelerate too well. Is this the experience most have or should it be able to pull a bit more? Tach says ~2500 rpm and 62 mph. Timing...

My 35 sedan has started to make a bit of noise. Valves are getting a bit noisy and compression in the middle 2 passenger side cylinders is about 20 psi lower than the rest. The motor still runs fairly smooth with no knock. Is this something i need to address right away or should i just drive...

I seem to be having an issue and cant quite pinpoint where to go with it. My car has plenty of power going through the gears including 2nd high but *** soon as i go to 3 high it just dogs. Loses power and i have to switch back to 3 low. Motor was rebuilt with snyder head, oiled mains...
