I am in the process of doing the M/C swap on my 39 and I am using the Chassis Engineering adapter with a 78 Ford Granada M/C everything is fitting up good.

It is still in the car. I have it unbolted but the pin that holds the push rod to the pedal is froze up so figured I could just pull MC out of way to get more room to work on that pin. I Have pulled hard. Ill see if I can get a jimmy bar up in there and get some leverage.

Is there anything that holds the brake pedal push rod in the master cyl. I am replacing the master cylinder. Pulled like crazy cant get it to come out. I know some new ones have a clip that holds rod in not sure about this one. don't see anything on parts brake down. Thanks Doug

Anyone here ever use a dustless blasting vendor or just the process? My 39 is looking bad along the drip rails and since this process is less harmful to the sheetmetal (so they say) I would like to get the area cleaned down to bare to see what I am dealing with. How does this compare to...

I have a good line on a 48 F1 rearend with brakes. Am I correct in thinking the backing plate and all will bolt up to my 39 rear? Thanks

As far as I can tell the eng in my 39 has never be apart. It runs ok at the moment and I would like to rebuild it myself in the future but you guys are scaring me with those prices. Its been a good while sine I rebuilt a small block Chevy or Ford but I can remember the clean up and machine work...

Thank you very much. That looks just like the grill trim on the 39. I saw some on ebay pretty fair price. I think Ill take a chance on it.

I thought I posted this before, guess I forgot to hit the submit button. Anyway can someone with a 35 or 36 take and send me some close up pictures of the side hood trim to show the profile and also measure the width. I measured my 39 and it is 1/4 wide. I have an idea on making grill trim...

Well got the old gage out and guess what it said on it. "Made in Industria Argentina." The tube is broken so I guess I need to find an old stock one or get another industria argentina or China one. I see Mac's has them. Saw some used gage clusters on ebay. Doug

Thanks.

(39 standard) I am going to remove my water temp gage from instrument cluster to get repaired (only one not working) I will put in a Aftermarket one while wait for the other to come back. Question is how much water will I lose from the system? Will it be all that is in head, all in hose and head...

I haven't replaced it yet but have seen the springs on several web sites. Not sure if Carpenters had them but will check since their only a few miles away. I will replace with a bolt and lock nut or if I can find the right size pin i'll use that and a small carter key.

This is a small thing but does any one know how to R&R one of these things. Photo's attached. My spring is broken and I don't see any way of removing the pin that holds it in.

Guestimate, how long will your car run with lights on with battery if the generator stopped charging? Full charge on good 6v battery. Doug

Re: yuck electrical problem [update] Just wanted to thank everyone that replied to post for the help. Just an update it was the tail light housing. The PO I guess decided he wanted just brake lights and put that glob of bondo in the housing to hold the socket in and hooked up the tail light...

I have ordered some new tail light housings and will clean the grounds well before install. The wire that was looped to the housing I am sure was an attempt to make a ground at the expence of either the brake or tail light. Thanks for all the replies. Doug

Man I hate electrical problems. (39 two door standard sedan 6volt) I have tail running lights on right and left, problem is when I step on brake peddle my right tail goes out and brake light does not come on. Left side is all good. This could get long so hang in there. So I looked up under car...

Nick as stated Dawsonville in October bring the wife bring the kids. I have attended several times ridding my M/C up. I would love to take the 39 this year if I can get it running better seems to be stumbling right now. I go one way and the wife goes another plenty to see and do.
