Thanks cadillac,got the new starter installed today. youre right the new starter is better than the discontinued "vintage torque"so called hi torque. hope the new one lasts longer tha the 3yr old vintage. Tom.

Thanks to the Barners for the tips .

the vintage torque model above is the model that failed for me a week ago. first i thought the starter gear was bound up in the flex plate the last time i attempted to start the car the way it sounded. i rocked the car vigorously in n3rd gear so much it moved a few inches. when i jumped from...

i guess no one wants to help. the '51 was allready totally rewired and converted to 12volt. i feel persecuted. on the barn i have allways tried to help if i could. powermaster i believe is the only manufacturer that builds a n12volt starter for flatheads.

im having the failed 3yr old discontinued vintage model powermaster replaced by an updated powermaster 9507 model starter. Any tips would be appreciated. thanks,Tom.

THANK YOU, RYAN

Looks like you have the same Mr. Gasket air cleaner that i have on my '51.the research i had done said was perfect size for the 239. also looks good. Tom.

I agree,i just have a hard time having a shop work on my classic cars for somthing that i possibly can accomplish.besides there arent any that want to even work on any vehicles older than the 80s especially if that car does not have a OBD port. Tom.

finally found the vacuum hose hiding behind a crusty dried up firewall grommet. pulled the correct length out and hooked up to the intake vac. port and wipers do work! ive had the '51 for about 6 months now and was scratching my head because there was a couple parts boxed up in trunk an old...

The compression fitting that Steve51 showed that he got from ace hw may be what i purchased from O'Reilly's. part #CF1B.should only have to actually use a portion of this part.

OOPS,sorry about that.

All that you mentioned about your old crusty 8BA carb describes perfectly why i didnt think the old ford/holley was a rebuild candidate.Dennis Carp. not repoping and they were $750. is not acceptable besides out of stock. I went with amazon Thundermingo 94 clone. it was$110.00 plus tax. it came...

yes i know about Charlie NY. this 94 clone i got the other seems to be working well.time will tell. Tom.

Hey Steve,i'm having the same issue with the vac. line wanting to walkout on the old carb vac.port nut.well im useing the old vac. port nut on new carb.my old carb had gotten worn out,leaking everywhere plus the throttle accelrator pump link was worn to the point of the lower pin and pin hole...

At what point did ford stop using splash oil from timing gear to lube water pumps?after flathead era? curious.

When i had my '37 fordor i took the 9 yr old bias wwhite walls off and had a small tire and repair shop that has been in business for for over 50 years install 4 modern cooper brand black walls from amazon that were $100.00 ea. made in mexico on my orig. riveted wheels. the guy,after he removed...

I would definitely agree with Tubman on down with the rest. my '51 with the bypass filter keeps the oil cleaner longer than my '37 did with no filter which looked ready to change in 500 miles.

Is this the same mineral oil that i was referring to as the VP racing classic GL-4 gear lube i use? and does it not have the phosphorus that is harmful to the yellow metals? it would be nice not to have to order. Tom.

the mineral oil for these older trans.and diff. have been increasingly hard to find,far as i know napa or vp racing are the i used 80w90 clasic gear oil for both the trans and diff in my '51 crestline victoria as there are bronze or other yellow metals in both. bronze or brass thrust washers in...
