I have a 1932 Ford Phaeton with a 8BA engine and the Ford center sump oil pan. I was thinking about changing it to the Mercury rear sump pan. My question is about the depth of the two pans. Will the ground clearance increase by changing to the Mercury pan vs the Ford center sump pan?

You might try Tom Cirello at Cirello Magneto's as he was rebuilding the Harmon-Collins Magnetos for the early flatheads. There might be some parts that interchange between the Mag's and the Dual Coil distributor. He has rebuilt three of the H-C mag's for me over the years with excellent...

What is the depth of the 1949-1953 Merc rear sump oil pan vs the 1949-1953 Ford center sump oil pan? I have a 8BA installed in a 1932 Ford with the Ford center sump pan and was wondering if I would gain additional ground clearance by changing to the Merc oil pan.

If you are using a 39 transmission in a 37 model car the clutch arm will have to be changed to a 37 model also. In early Fords the clutch arm must be the same year as the model year of the chassis.

Thanks Kube for your photo and explanation. Looks like mine is on backwards.

Thanks to all. However I was asking about the orientation of the drag link. Does the adjustment go to the spindle or the pitman arm. The reason I am asking is that I have seen the adjustment located on the pitman arm as well as the spindle in the past.

I have a 1940 Deluxe coupe and am getting ready to check the toe in. I notice that the drag link has the adjustment at the pitman arm rather than at the right spindle. It also has a slight bend in it rather than being straight. Where there two styles of drag links, one with the bend and one...

Thanks for all of the advice and comments. It was necessary to pull the head to complete the repairs properly but where very easily accomplished. Just waiting on the new head gasket now to complete the assembly.

Thanks everyone for your replies. The heads are installed on this engine (276 CI) and it is in a 1940 coupe. I am hoping to do the repair (# 2 cylinder) without removing the heads from the engine. I am using Autolite #216 plugs having a .437 thread reach. Should I use the 3/8" or 7/16"...

I have a Ford of Canada Aluminum Head for a 59A that needs to have one of the spark plug holes re-threaded. I have used time-serts in the past but can not find my installation kit. What is the best kit to use now for this repair? Thanks for your advice.
