Kontio also has Vintage model which looks much better , but quality , I don't know... Previously I did use Cokers , well...

    Ford 94 adjustable main jets - Yes or no?

    Just the centers. A/F meter is way to go. Two channel is great but not mandatory.

    Ford 94 adjustable main jets - Yes or no?

    In my 3x2 Flathead it was pain to change jets for primary(center), so I put those adjustable ones in. With A/F meter adjusting was easy and it has stayed same for years. No complaints. Your results may vary.... BTW , my opinion is that adjusting without good A/F meter is waste of time....

    Early Lever Shocks

    Bolt arrangement is little different. That's why original ´32 front shocks are so expensive at swap meets.

    1941 Cabover pictures as requested by Vilanar

    Awesome Cabover ! You have done a great job. Is that sleeper from 60`s ? If the chassis is from truck how did you solve the steering ? I'm thinking that steering column is much more further front than in truck. Complicated linkage or what ?

    1950 Ford Heater hose connections

    Dan is right. Water has to flow from bottom up to keep the core full all the time.

    Rust question

    There is rust inhibitors like previous posters said , but it comes inactive over the years so , antifreeze should be changed after 2-3 years. In the old days they lasted longer , but not anymore.

    cast headers

    I think those center dumps don't fit in ´50 Ford . In my ´50 I have "Police exhaust manifolds" for twin exhaust from Shoebox Central. They don't look/flow as nice as Fentons , but work flawlessly . 23000 miles and counting....
