Door panels on pass side done, screws look awesome. Paint not so good, looking at an eggshell finish instead of satin. Took a run to check new speedo Speedo - GPS 25 - 34 30 - 39 35 - 44 40 - 48 50 - 58 52 - 60 ( new high speed record at 60 )

The radiator will need work and I replaced the top hose. I found that this radiator inlet is not aligned with the pump outlet. It looks like the top tank plate is bent in maybe. I will bring both that radiator and the spare in over winter and pick one. Finally got a speedometer cable. It reads...

Changed to 50/50 coolant now, it’s getting to freezing in the AM now. Got the conduit over the horn wire now so all three conduits are on. Took it for a run down a flat road but had misfires, backfires etc etc, found the problem, overfilled the radiator and the slop sprayed back over the coil...

Got the cheapo Chinese tach, ran the wire through the shifter floor plate and up around the speedo cable then over to clip on the coil wire. Seems accurate at the setting I have it as 520 rpm idle i will leave it connected for now and see where my shift points are and what my rpm is at 50 mph...

Took the time to adjust the headlights tonight, taped off 37” on the garage and 15” each side of center. In the owners manual it wasn’t clear to me if both the focusing and aiming/aligning was done with high beams on but in the red book it was written more clearly and you do both with high beams...

Very nice drive today, engine ran great. Shifting is easier with the heavy oil in, you don’t need to dbl clutch up and I am getting better at dbl clutching down from 3 to 2. I had driven no synchro before but that big jump from 3 to 2 going down is something to be cognizant of. Engine stayed...

It’s a Winfield S series(no accel pump), 1 3/4” bore, downdraft. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ6TS1fKST0&ra=m

Thank you Ryan not only for working towards a solution but for running this forum. I appreciate you and having this forum. If there is some way I can help let me know, even if it’s just testing your plug in.

This censoring thing is annoying.

Do we have to have words censored out here now? I noticed it even went back to old posts and things like t and an embedded into words are getting asterisked out too. Just wondering if that would be permanent. Thanks

Oh yeah and I found this in my painting supplies from back when: Hehe … I just might!

So this test thread has turned into a bit of a journal for me and that’s ok I can’t change the thread title but it’s all been a “test” anyhow and if someone else reads this … cool :) One thing that has surprised me greatly is the amount of love the old gal gets, I mean honestly it’s a “dog” in...

Got the conduits in for both headlamps, need to buy the conduit for the horn. I am still not happy with the headlight or horn wiring, it was a disaster to start with, someone had cut both lamp wires then just twisted and taped decades ago so that will bug me till I get a new harness also the...

Hey Steve, Not sure but I did not have the the plate or body just the hole and without the heater on quite a bit of heat still came through there so I picked up the plate and housing so I could keep that heat out. Since it’s been getting pretty cool here in the mornings I went ahead and...

Hey Bruce here is the link http://https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=356440&highlight=Auto-Lite+heater Thanks Marshall yes I assumed there needed to be some room for movement but my worry was with no hose or something in there I could get vapor lock from the heat building up by the...

Got the 600w filled steering box, better yet -slightly tighter/ less lash. . Also transmission, acts different shifting now, not worse but changes downshift dbl clutch timing. Diff was full, will drain and refill soon. Got the adaptor for old grease fittings finally everything is greased now...

Found it! Just had to putz with search words a bit and found an old thread 👍🏻

Another firewall cleanup question this is related to the Auto-Lite heater which I now re-installed. I was able to pick up a heater door and install that but since it was not together when I got my A, I am looking at the gap between the heater door assembly and the heater on the engine...

Moved Speedo cable just “ out “ for now, checked speedo does not turn cable broke 5 ft back, getting a rebuilt speedo or getting mine rebuilt. Checked steering again the only play I get is definitely at the steering box. Checked brakes , pads are woven type and 3/16” + thick. Drums are stamped...

Right rear glass in today, had to cut the bottom channel down by 1.5” the left front glass and right rear glass is the same but the right rear channel is shorter in back. It has to be shorter than the distance between the side channels.
