Thanks Gregory. That’s what I was concluding. Any thoughts on what amperage fuse to use or how I can find out?

Does anyone know if it is OK to connect the heater motor to the accessory post on the ignition switch? I have seen information both ways. My car is still a 6-volt positive ground system if that matters.

I am replacing the wiring harness on my 47 Coupe. The dash is currently out of the car. I would like to install the new harness to the dash while the dash is out of the car and on a workbench but I am concerned about getting the other half of the harness (the engine compartment wires) through...

Thanks for the recommendations on Wayne's. I hadn't found them.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll check out Sherm’s and the options mentioned by Bruce. I’m in Richmond, Virginia. I haven’t found any options near here.

Does anyone have any advice on chrome platers? I have seen some old threads but haven't found anything that is current. Advanced Plating seems to have a good reputation, but they are more expensive than others and have a long turnaround time. I will appreciate advice from someone with recent...

I have a 47 Coupe with the original V8 flathead. I am going to replace the oil pan gasket. Does anyone know if there is also a seal for the front of the crankshaft?

Thanks for the replies. I was wondering if it was for the radio.

My 47 car (still 6 volts) has what appears to be a condenser attached to the battery terminal on the voltage regulator. I don't see it on any wiring diagrams and I can't find it offered on any of the parts vendors websites. Can anyone offer any insight on why it might have been attached and...

I know you this is old thread but any advice on how to put a new spring in place will be appreciated. I got the old spring out as detailed above but getting the new one in place is a challenge. I am replacing the smaller upper spring. 47 car. Thanks

I know this is an old thread but is there anything new on upholstery supplier options? I am beginning the restoration of a 47 Coupe and am not finding any sources for materials much less kits.

Thanks. Good idea. I see that you are in Williamsburg. I am in Richmond. Do you know anyone who does good body and paint work or interior work in our area? Sorry for adding this to a general message but I am too new to this system to send a PM.

Thanks. I will see if I can find and get to the bolts. I’m trying to do this without a lift so it’s awkward to get to. I think the sleeve where the cable goes into the turtle is rounded out. The speedometer and/or cable were frozen for several years and I think the sleeve got rounded out. The...

I think I need to replace the speedometer driven gear on my 47 Ford Coupe. Does anyone know if that can be done without dropping the drive shaft. I don’t see a way to get to it.

Thanks for the answers on the engine color. On the cables, where is the battery ground cable supposed to connect? I don't see that cable in the pictures above. I am looking to replace mine but the ones I see from the parts companies are too short to reach the manifold or cylinder head from the...

I am a new member and just saw this post. I see that the engine in the photo is green. Mine is also the same green. Someone at Ford told my father that was the correct color when we were rebuilding the engine back in the 70s; however, all the parts catalogues say the engine paint color is blue...
