Bump start and into the garage, battery on full charge. No start, cleaned battery terminals. They were fine. Checked ground on body and engine, no start cranking just fine. On to the starter, tight connection but looks sketchy. Cleaned connection and it started instantly. Confused me how it...

Have not gotten back to the car yet. Car is original except for electric fuel pump. This has occurred the last four times I tried starting it. Prior to bump start I tried gas directly in carb, to no avail. I am leaning towards electrical, but still makes no sense why this occurs. Battery and...

I will figure it out but curious, what your thoughts are on this issue. Using the starter, the engine cranks just fine no starting. Roll it 2 feet pop the clutch takes of instantly. Really hard for me to understand, what’s your prediction ? 1946 Fordor V8 Stock Thanks Larry

The cross over exhaust pipe has, seen better days. I almost think it is 1946 original. The bolts are in bad shape. What’s your go to plan for exhaust bolts ? I have done many before and have not always had the best of luck. Hoping to not have to remove manifolds, that looks just as sketchy...

Thanks for the input, it was a fun project. Hope to break even, did not think of selling it when I bought it. Hopefully someone will want to enjoy it.

Hi all, Might have to sell my 46 Fordor, on the road and inspected. Just wondering is there a market for Fordors ? Not a fancy show car, sat in a barn for 30 years. Took awhile to get it back in drivable condition. Would appreciate any insight. Thanks Larry

He did not get killed.

This post reminded me I need to make this repair, what’s the best way to install the short hose. Thanks Larry

I used Flex Seal spray, turned out very nice. Looks good.

It’s your car.

How do the plugs look ? They may tell you where your problem is.

Thanks for the math, that looks about what the axel nut moved compared to the cotter pin hole. Larry

When I acquired the car, the e-brake carrier was bent and broken. Replaced the carrier and that’s when I became aware of the interference. I believe it was because of wear on the axel and or hub. Shim will work for now, need to look into replacing some things. Thanks for your thoughts. Larry

Just put a shim in and made a considerable difference. When I received them thought it would be thicker, it was only about .005. No more contact with the e-brake carrier. On to the next thing.

Ordered the shims, will have to see how it works out. Thanks for all the responses.

Would like to know thoughts and fixes on rear drum rubbing on emergency brake carrier. Saw that I can buy shims and some suggestions to make my own. How much is shim is to much. If you have done this where did you acquire the shims. Lastly is there any concerns or hints that I should know ...

Thanks for the responses, still curious about heater connection or do most just eliminate it ? Thanks Larry

I searched and did not find what I was looking for, so hear I am. 1946 Deluxe. Need to install lower radiator hoses and heater nipple. What is the best procedure, having not taken the old off yet. Cut to fit hose or not, if I do best length. Best way to install, I am sure no easy way. Looks...

Thanks for the replies, the prices on the internet are way off then. Somewhere around $100.00.

Just wondering what would be a reasonable price for non rebuilt Tillotson carb. Thanks
