Thanks all! It worked.

I need to remove the outside door handles and key holes from my 40. (It's a 4 door so I've got a few) I've done some staring at it but haven't figured it out. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thanks all for the wisdom. Now, I think I will go out and stare at it for a while until I decide what to do.

I'm trying to get a pair of Edlebrock heads off the engine. They've been on there a long time and I haven't been able to budge them. I've heard about the rope trick. Has anyone actually done this and are there any down sides like damage to the heads or engine. Thanks

Thanks....I'm going to get my tape measure.

Are 9 inch and 10 inch pressure plates and discs interchangeable between 40 flywheels and later ones? Thanks

Thanks all. I'll check the grounds.

The headlights on my bone stock (almost) 40 are putting out a dim glow. Bright enough for others to see me but they are not giving me much road information. This is still a 6 volt car. The reflectors seem shiny enough to the eye. Do I need different bulbs?

Last spring I bought a 59 engine for my long term project. (40 sedan) I was told that this was an engine that was built sometime in the 50's and was running a year before I got it. I have no proof of that but I think the price was right. It has Edlebrock heads, an Edmonds manifold, Fenton...

good points...thanks

I apologise if this is a well beaten horse but I am still confused. I have speedway discs on the front of my project forty. It's a rolling chassis-body off frame. I'm ready to move on with a master cylinder and lines. My question is which cylinder and what pitfalls to avoid. Thanks.

This info is probably in here somewhere but I haven't found it. I've drained the old oil out of my transmission (it was nasty!!) and want to refill it. How much and what kind? Thanks

Thanks all. I'll start the process soon.

After the euphoria of fixing (I hope) my fuel pump woes on my driver, I am realising that I have a real hodgepodge of fuel line. Part of it is original metal interspersed with rubber hose. There are no leaks but it makes me nervous. I want to replace the whole thing with the right thing. I am...

Are there any changes in the fuel pump between the years 40 thru 48?

I crawled under and didn't see any obvious problems. I did see that the electric pump is mounted a good two feet in front of the tank. Is that a problem? I think I have made up my mind to get a new pump but haven't decided which one yet.

Got waylayed.......I'll get under tomorrow. Thanks for all.

I don't think it's the coil. The last time this happened, I was staring at the engine (a large chunk of my mechanical knowledge) with the switch on and heard the pump come back on and watched fuel fill up the plastic fuel filter. I jumped back in,,,started it up and drove it home. Now my wife...

"I don't mean to steal this thread Bart 40 but sounds like we have a similar problem" Steal away!!! I'm getting ready to go out and crawl under to try to see what's happening. Thanks to all who helped.

Bill...If I never get my shocks back it won't be the end of the world. I wish you well.
