Hello. Here is some pics of what I have found with my hubs. I am not as concerned with the axle housing as far as the finish goes, it is that they are out of round that I am concerned about. There is also a wear grove where the grease seal rides. Since the hubs are not being reproduced...

I have the car running as well as I can without driving it to see just how well it runs when on the road. It starts well, idles well, responds good to me cracking the throttle open, and so far hasn't given me any indication that it will over heat. That led me to move on to see what the brakes...

Thank you.

Thank you for the disassembly break down. The torque tube is the biggest unknown for me right now, and I will have to do some digging on just what I can use for a spring spreader. I do have all the service literature that I have been able to find, but none of it has any information on how to...

Can you elaborate on just who "C&G" is? A quick Google search was of no help. I had not though of looking outside of the country for my right hand drive parts though. Any non American suppliers that you or anybody could recommend would be of great help. Thanks.

Thanks I will look into that.

My concern is that since this car car is right hand drive, there may be a difference in the gearboxes, and if so, just where I might find parts that will work. I am still flying pretty blind on a lot of things with this car.

Thanks for the info. I was unaware of the differences in differential housing.It appears that my car has the round flange. I will take time time to see just how the rear differential come out and go from there I guess.

Hello all, back again on the 32. First of all, I would like to thank everyone who suggested Steve Blancard for help with my generator. I now have a generator that now works as it should. Now for yet more issues/questions. I have moved on to bearings and brakes. The front bearings are fine...

Thank you for the kind words. This has been a bit of a slow process, but I promised my wife that we would get her dads car going again. So with the help of the folks here on the barn, I will get it going for her. I will be sure to post the progress,...and questions, here as I go along too!

Thanks for the tip. I had it running for the first time back in October, and drove up and down my lane a couple of times. It sat till I started it a couple weeks ago right before I took the water pumps off it. I squirted a little 40:1 two stroke mix down the carb and it lit right off. Sat and...

Thanks I will look him up.

Thanks. I was just looking at his posts. I will touch base with him and see what he can do.

Hello all. I have been away due to a death in the family, but now that the weather is warming up some, I am back to working on the 32 when I have time. But of course I have a couple more questions. But first @ pistonbroke, google says I am 158 miles from Hannibal Mo. So here are the questions. I...

Hello all. Just an update on my progress with the '32, since its been a while since I posted. I got all my parts back from Skip, and was able to get the car running over the following weekend. It seems to run pretty good for sitting as long as it has. So now I will be looking to move forward...

Skip did get back with me and he did say to send the condenser with the coil and he would test it. I did find a condenser listing on Napa's website that is supposed to be for this car,(ECH FA5). I have had to do some searching for the inner caps, seems those are getting hard to come by. Since...

Thanks for the info. It appears the this coil is bad then. My older meter shows 0 at any setting above 200, and my Fluke with auto range shows .7. I was able to get a Ford part number (18-12024) by finding the part number on the condenser,(68-12300), So I will be reaching out to Skip Haney to...

Hello all. I am back with a update on some of the suggestions that were given to me. I had time this morning to check for spark at the plugs. Found the plugs #4,8 and 5 were not firing. #4 and 8 were just the end of the wire at the plug needed cleaning, but #5 was corroded in the cap to the...

No, but the car was painted Midnight Purple when my in-laws bought it. My mother in-law said that they were told by the seller at the auction that it was a "Lady of the evenings" car. Wife wants to paint it Midnight Purple again too. Lol

I haven't looked to see if the motor is grounded to the body or not. But the motor is grounded directly to the battery, it was this way when we unburied it. As far as filling the float bowl goes, someone in the past had drilled a hole in the top of the carb that was on the motor, then capped it...
