Re: Are tubes needed on 16” radial tires If you haven't already bought the Cokers, I would recommend you don't. I bought 4 of the Coker Classic 600-16 radial tires years ago and they are horribly out of round and have lots of tread runout. If you're buying a different style, you might be ok. My...

I bought mine on Amazon. Here is a link for a two pack. They also sell it individually. https://www.amazon.com/John-Deere-Corn-Head-Grease/dp/B08B69ZDWG/?tag=atomicindus08-20

I second the recommendation to send the distributor off to have Micheal at Third Gen ford parts to rebuild it. Also have Skip Haney rebuild your coil. I would not change over to the efire system. I did both of these on my 37 21 stud engine that had a couple of lower compression cylinders like...

I had the same issue with a new master cylinder a couple years ago that I purchased from Dennis Carpenter. Leaked in the exact same spot. I tried multiple times with different washers without resolve. It seemed to me that the master cylinder outlet port was not drilled squarely and was drilled...

Thanks for the great info. I just restored my filter housing and needed a replacement. Prefect timing. Really appreciate it. Nate Anello

Not sure if this helps, but this company makes these insulation kits. Nate https://www.quietride.com/web/viewer.html?file=https://www.quietride.com/catalogpdfs/ford_cars_32_48_catalog.pdf

Stretch, you read my mind, that's exactly what I was going to use. Thanks for the confirmation that it worked. Nate

My firewall insulator from Joe's arrived today, looks good. Took about two weeks for production and delivery. Not crazy about the look of the foil backing showing through in places, but I'll get it blacked out. It will be much better than the worn original for sure. Need to weld in a couple...

As others said, it is best to have an engine load leveler. As you can see, you really need to get a good upward angle as you come out. (This was on my 37 coupe) I pulled the engine and trans together. Best to remove as much as you can from the engine. Best to have a helper, but I did pull mine...

Here is a picture of the 1936 headlight assembly from the Ford Chassis parts book. Perhaps there is a part number stamped on your reflector 48-13028 so you can verify it is the correct one. The clip part number is 48-13017. I included a picture of the parts breakdown. It looks like Fred at...

I just removed the lower cushion from my 37. The 38 might be similar. Raise the seat back and lock in place. Remove the four seat track bolts to the floor pan. There are also four bolts that connect the covered sides of the seat back frame underneath and on the outside closest to the doors...

After more research, I found this company Quiet Ride Solutions as a supplier of the firewall insulator. They manufacture them and from looking at their website and Joe's Antique Auto site, I believe Joe's buys them from Quiet Ride and resells them. There would be a small savings if I bought it...

I am in the process of replacing the original wiring on my coupe and have decided to replace the worn, damaged and altered over the years, firewall Insulator pad. After searching for a source, it looks like Joe's Antique Auto Parts is one of the few I see that sells them. Just checking to see if...

I do appreciate all the information and advice. If I was doing a frame off restoration on this car, which I am not, I would replace the crossmember. Looking at what I would need to remove from the front-end sheet metal, spring, etc. to accomplish the replacement, is just more involved than I can...

Thanks Kurt, Is this a common issue with these frames?

I have the engine and trans out of my 37 coupe. Resealing, replacing original wiring, etc. Cleaning the frame of oil and grease and I am puzzled as to why someone would have welded what looks like the upper spring leaf to the frame. You can see that the front crank pulley at one time was hitting...

Appreciate all the great advice as always. Now that I have the engine back together and resealed. I will move on to my transmission overhaul.

Ggmac, I appreciate your feedback and will do that. I assume that these plugs go through to the engine water jackets. I'd guess these, like all freeze plugs are susceptible to rust. I had the water pumps off and the inside of the block water jackets are incredibly clean and free of any scale...
