I know all motors are different, but anyone have an average of the amps an old accessory heater fan would pull? I'm using voltage reducers and need to find amps to wire them properly. Thanks To clarify, the fan motor is 6 volt, and I'm running 12 volt.

So I've put about 600 miles on my AV8 and have not had any brake issues, till now. Hydraulic brake conversion, 41 front brakes, 46 rear, 46 master cyl. I noticed the brakes were dragging a little, so I pulled it into the shop to adjust them, then i noticed the brake lights were on. So I...

Finally got my side glass in, glass fits good. The regulators are another story, my left one was hitting the glass channel so I trimmed the back portion that sticks out. Works ok, but the right is worse, still hits even after trimming. Is my door possibly bent in on the inner panel, or are these...

I was just out in the garage and happened to notice my fan hub looked odd, I checked it and the pulley has completely separated. I just finished a trip to a car show , about 80 miles round trip. No problems, no noise or vibration whatsoever. It is a 46 or so oil filled hub, rebuilt using new...

I've had a couple pieces of glass cut for my 30 rear window and am having a hard time making them fit. I made a pattern From the opening and went about 1/4" more and it still doesn't fit right. My first window went in ok but cracked as soon as I went down the road. Just had another one made...

Driving to work this morning, my AV8 with 52 Merc motor , with early heads, and no t- stats, was running poorly, I almost turned around and took it home, but it smoothed out some and ran ok. But the whole trip, about 15 miles, the top temp was 130 degrees. The outside air temp this morning was...

Just got done working in a friends 37 ton and a half truck. It wouldn't run at all, so he thought carb issue, I went through the carb just to check it out and all seemed fine. I told him to pick up a new condenser and we put it on( still using the 59 carb I loaned him) and it started and ran...

I just bought a mirror from Snyders, and went to mount it. The mirror mount is flat , but there is a 3/8" step from the metal of the header base to the wood where mirror mounts. Am I missing something , or do I have the wrong mirror? The holes appear to line up.

Just rebuilt my door lock on drivers side and shut it about five times and the latch spring broke! Had to use the one intended for the pass side to repair again. Does anyone have good quality springs available as I'm sure these were made in China?

Been trying to put chrome acorns on my head bolts, and I'm having a heck of a time. They are all going on difficult, no foil needed, but some are splitting, and there's one bolt in particular that I've destroyed two acorn nuts on. I'm using a piece of UHMV as to not dent the nuts. Is there any...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUFKd8hpSUU Ok guys here it is finally. Not the best camera work, but you definitely get the sound. Now if I just had brakes! Thanks to all Barners for helping a computer challenged individual!

I've been wanting to post a link to my fresh flathead rebuild, but I've never done you tube. When I go there it says I'm signed in, but I can't figure out how to post a video. And by the way, the video is on my phone. Can I do this? Thanks, Ralph

The 47 I'm working on had a giant heater duct installed in the upper pass side corner of the firewall and I need to patch the hole. The spot is about 8"x8" and includes the horizontal rib that is embossed in the firewall. If anyone has one they are parting out I can send pictures of the area I...

Working on a 47 buisness coupe and I'm converting to modern airplane shocks on the front. I bought some NOS upper shock mounts for a 48(first year for these I think) and Ive got them all set up on the frame. But, I just went out to my parts stash for something else and I have a couple front...

Kinda wondered , does it make a difference? Are pre 49 engines required to have studs or are they interchangeable ?

I have Edelbrock 59AB heads and Stewart Warner sending units. Went to put these in and the thread does not go in more than a 1/4?turn. I don't want to strip these heads, are the sending unit threads metric? Or made in PROC crap?

Is this a direct bolt on? If not can it be made to work? Thanks, Ralph

This is the very front crossmember that's bolted to the frame. Radiator support bolts to the center of it.

Just tore into the 42 Mercury motor (29A") on the 47 I'm working on for a fellow and was curious about the camshaft markings. It has an "A" on one side of the slot and what looks like a 5-D that was stamped over a 66 on the other side. Is this a stock cam that was possibly reground, and if so by...

I don't think I've ever heard why the exhaust bolts on the front ports are bigger than the rest . Anyone know the answer to this ?
