I have been using a compact starter in my 276 c.i. 8BA for years now. I got it from Speedway. It is the one they refer to as "Stump puller". It has done a fine job for me so far. No complaints...

Thanks Ryan for a job well done!

That is truly an interesting intake. Denny, keep us posted on anything you happen to find out about it

Chris, that is truly sad, sad news. I am so sorry to hear of her passing. Condolences to you and your family.

GB, I always heard that cross threading was Mother Natures Locktite! :rolleyes:

Yes, puzzles help. I do a crossword and a cryptoquote every day with my morning coffee.

This getting old is not for sissies!

I had a great time at this year's Swap Meet! The weather was good and the people were great. It's always a good time to be around folks who have the same interests as you do. Sold some parts and made it home in good shape! :D

I plan on being at Luray also. I've got V8 stuff for sale and Steve I should have some generator cores, too. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate!

Yep, that transmission tunnel will test your metal-shaping skills to be sure! But that's what these projects are all about.

Drove my flattie to Cars & Coffee this morning early and then drove it to a local car show. Just got home from there.

Yep, they are 91A's alright! Thanks so much for setting me straight. I plan on taking them to a swap meet next month and I certainly don't want to tell someone wrong.

I have had these in my parts stash for ages and thought they were '39's but a buddy of mine said guess again. The lens has the FORD logo. Can someone help?

New listing on Bring-A-Trailer for a French block and complete engine kit with lots of after market pieces. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/parts-72/

Rewinding one of those armatures is no mean feat in itself!

I was checking out the ads on AMAZON for these. Holy Cow! a hundred and thirty some bucks for a set! I'll bet we didn't pay more than $5 a pop for them probably at Western Auto or some such place. I must be getting old or something! :eek:

If I remember correctly, and this is going back a ways, inflate the tire just enough to seat the bead with the porta wall in place. Then use the rubber mallet to beat the porta wall enough to flatten it against the sidewall of the tire. This causes it to conform to the tire and really does make...

I ran port o walls on this '49 a number of years ago. They looked pretty darn good, frankly. Never had any problems with them. I don't remember now where I got them though.

Wow, not good. Not good at all!
