Just to clarify, are you wanting the widest tire, the tallest sidewall, or both? If it were me and wanted big tires, I would go "after market" with 15" wheels and a 7" width to allow for more tire size options. You don't have much extra room inside the rear fenders to work with.

Was that the result of forging problems with those huge blocks?

There has been some discussion on another forum that the Zephyr V12 of the 1940's was a real crap engine. Poor HP and other performance issues. Is that because of the tiny pistons?

I believe the vendors always give you the option of waiting to ship until all the parts are in stock. They sort of hide that in the fine print. I have found that, while shopping on line is convenient, it is always better to place the order with a real and actual person.

Speaking of vacuum, I would check for a vacuum leak somewhere. Lots of advice on this in the archives. Remember the 3 R's; spark, fuel and vacuum.

Thank you for your service, sir. We all owe you one.

Great story. Thanks for posting I am the only one on my block that put out a flag today. Makes you sort of sad.

To convert your exhaust to dual, you will need headers and two pipes routed from the headers, back through the frame and your choice of mufflers. Nothing better than the sound of a flathead with dual exhaust. You may give "Red's Headers" a call and speak with them. I have had excellent...

Those holes should have been filled with lead, not bondo. Of course they probably got 60 years out of the bondo so it did it's job.

That "clunk" could be the distributor. I would pull it and take a look at the gears.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember the Pinto?

You may want to remove the steering tube bracket from the dash board to give you a better angle (at least more options) when pulling up the rod.

Why not just give Skip a call? 941-637-6698 mailto:skip@fordsrus.com

Just install an inline filter to the drain hose that you're using.

Good advice. Just go with stock. They are a very good distributor.

Give these guys a call. They'll know about the one in Billings, Mt https://www.a1johnsonautowrecking.com/

Just in case the fuel pump does not correct the problem. Do you have a test meter? If not, go buy one. They are cheap and you simply must have one and learn how to use it. Readings should be about: Battery 6.3V, ignition switch 6.37V, cold resistor 2.5 OHMS to resistor 6.15V voltage after...

As an old sign painter, I would suggest adding a little Penetrol to the paint. Really helps with the "flow" of the paint and it does not "thin" the paint as adding thinner would do.

I have used these guys several times and they are great. They cater to classic cars. http://www.wdtc.net/enclosed.shtml
