I foolishly let my '32 sit for over a year & now it heats up to HOT way too fast. I want to flush its '32 Radiator and 59A Block. Is the simplest way to remove a lower hose from each side & run water through the radiator, until clear? I probably need to pull my upper hoses & confirm my...

Does anyone know how to check the OHM readings for Empty & Full on the gauge itself?

Hello All, I am working with the following goods: - Aftermarket Fuel Tank - Aftermarket Sending Unit (from ISSPRO) - Feeds a 1930 Essex Fuel Gauge My Sending Unit has: A) A failing rheostat; very inconsistent readings on my multimeter B) A full of fuel plastic float I sought out & ordered the...

I have a reproduction gas tank. It has a reproduction sending unit for my 12 volt set up. The gauge reading used to be accurate, though is not anymore. I just pulled the tank & the sending unit is rusty; yay. My ohm meter reads MORE when in the empty position & LESS in the full position. When...

Hello, Stock flathead fuel pump was replaced some 10 years ago. I stupidly let the car sit for the last 7 years. The fuel pump is now not pumping. I suspect the diaphragm is dried up. Are these pumps easy to rebuild? Or is it best to buy a new one, as todays fuels may have destroyed the...

Since I have NO fenders....I guess the Gas Tank Apron Channel Seal Kit wouldn't apply to my car....now that I look at it all.

Thank you for all of your thoughts & expertise! The accuracy of what was & what wasn't is much appreciated!

Hello All, I have a '32 Brookville bodied roadster. I came across this site.... https://thirdgenauto.com I noticed some rubber goods that I do not have, which I am considering. But...I am unfamiliar with how one would affix the items to the body; hope someone can help advise: 1. Trunk Lid...

I hath remove the end cap & tube. Is the tube supposed to appear like the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Could this be contributing to my leak? It slid out of the steering box smoothly. It had a gasket and that ugly orange RTV sealer on it. Thanks!

When using the John Deer Corn Head Grease....Do I use 100% of that in the steering box OR a percentage of that AND a percentage of some other grease? Thanks

Oh, now that I see the picture, it makes sense. Is it a simple removal of the 2 bolts and then you wiggle out the plate with tube? Will anything else come falling out; ha!???

I do not have the later plate. Nor do I have the headlight switch parts on the end of mine. So the fix is to obtain a 1933 & up plate? It bolts on the same? It has a tube on its inside portion of the plate? And is there supposed to be a gasket, I assume? Someone sell those? Thanks!

Have a stock '32 box....was rebuilt many moons ago. It leaks off the very front end (open) cap area. I would like to remove it, clean it, reseal it up. Looks like the rebuilder used some orange RTV years ago and it failed. Any helpful hints on steps to take on doing this would be welcomed. I...

I am aware that the 1932 Trunk cars did not come with a rubber mat. But the bare metal deal, isn't working for me. Does anyone have good ideas that feel period correct for a trunk mat? Thanks!

Would like to throw a rubber mat in my trunk. I've not seen any stock style rubber mats for sale anywhere. Anyone have an idea / source for a period correct trunk mat that would work? Thanks!

Anyone? Want to clear it out of the garage & get it to a good home.

Or make an offer!

Left over from my car build. Came with the Brookville Body project I bought. Couple tweaks needed to a couple of slightly bent sections; wouldn't affect its use.

I have an electrical sending unit in the back of the block feeding the gauge on the dash. Since there is another "line out" feed, next to my current sending unit, I would like to add a small mechanical gauge to live there under the hood. Anyone know what numbers I need the gauge to go up to...

Ya know that rare, but sometimes, crazy front end wobble the car may get? The only way to make it go away, I have found, is to stop & start again. It is only happened to me a couple 2 -3 times since assembling the car. I have a 1932 Roadster. Stock rails. Stock suspension. Dropped Ford Front...
