These are just my thoughts: You, even with the engine Mods and a good tail wind, only have about 40 horsepower up front. A stock engine has a hard time pulling a car with overdrive. They will tend to bog, lug down and, possibly run hot. I would tend to run stock gears in the transmission and...

I am in search of any and all pieces of hardware for a 1931 Model 150B Woody Wagon. I have all the wood in the form of a kit from Pleasantville, NY. The company is out of business now and, I still need the hardware. Thanks, Dale

I always enjoy a thread that has a positive outcome and that, upon completion of the issue, we get a final report as to what the solution was. In this case Bratton's continues to shine, tennsmith is a happy camper and, another Model A hits the road running. Good deal!

If you are running the solid core wires with the Pertronix, it will more than likely not run right or, not run at all. I had the same experience with my car when I installed the Pertonix. Mine would run poorly for awhile and then, quit altogether. I changed the wires out (PITA) for radio...

Thanks for all the replys. I down loaded the PDF, jerseyboy. And, even though I am running a steel #1 and #2 floorboard, I can use the plans as a guide for filling the gaps.

Thanks, David. I have a metal (United Pacific) toeboard and the gap there is big enough to let water off the front wheels through. A lot of water. I'm thinking a piece of sheet metal screwed to the toeboard will do the trick.

What did Henry do to plug/cover the two large gaps that are on the left and right side of the stock toeboard? I can come up with something but, curious as to what was there.

or, timing retarded too far.

My Bend-Pac requires 220V to raise the lift and air to release the locks in order for gravity to lower. I have 14' ceiling and can park a '31 woody wagon over a '46 Ford coupe with no problems. The wheels are borderline useless for my installation. I ran conduit for the 220 so moving the lift...

Sorry, I didn't notice that you had already been in contact with Flathead Jack. I have his top of the line linkage on 3 97's and it is very nice. And, it works.

Another beautiful piece of 3 Deuce progressive jewelry can be purchased from Flathead Jack.

I have a '39 trans behind an 8BA in my '32. I ordered the '32 clutch release arm from Mac Van Pelt. In order for the linkage coming off my '32 pedals to line up with the release arm, I had to use the '32 release arm. Being at work (Hah!) I have no pictures but, would be like to post tonight...

...and the cost.

Thanks for the information, you answered my question. That is an interesting picture. It would seem that the wire going through the hole marked "4" would be better off running down through the spring. Mine does not have that hole so, I would guess, that by '46 they had done away with it.

https://www.fordbarn.com/attachments/244742/ Looking at this picture, can anyone tell me if the three screws that hold the "locking ring" to the horn ring have to be insulated? I have three different screws that all have a plastic washer under the heads. I also have one plastic collar that...

I have this same system on my car. 6 Volt Positive ground. You will want to make sure you are using some type of radio suppression spark plug wires. Solid core wires will cause an electromagnetic disturbance around the pick-up module that will kill the engine. I believe that information is...

I see that most do not care for change. I number myself among them. Er, that would be a no vote.

That might have something to do with how much plastic and composites go into the makeup of a modern vehicle.

10ga is what I would use along with a 14ga fusible link to protect the wiring. Relays everywhere you can put them. I took a "relay bar" out of a late model, mounted it under the dash, and ran relays for the headlights, fan, fuel pump, neutral safety switch, etc. If you do a search, there is a...

Good for the driveway - what was the problem with Old Henry?
