Re: Help to finding the right oil pressure switch The motor is the original Ford, 8AB/8RT Flathead 239 cubic inch. It looks to me that the 41A-9278 is what I am looking for. Thanks for the help

In my stock 52 8RT/8AB I need to replace the oil pressure switch and this is the only one I'm finding,and it does not say what pressure it's for 80 or 50 psi. OIL PRESSURE SWITCH - SKU#:Motorcraft SW-1547B Does anyone has a part number for the 80 psi one,or are they one in the same for motor?

This is great information,I didn't expect such a debate. Im thinking I might try the NGK plugs and see if I can tell if there is a difference. It's the first time in the 28 years I have had my 52 F-1 that I will use other than Champion plugs. Sometimes change is good, so we'll see.

What is the reason some say Champion H10C are not a good plug I have them in my 52 8RT seems to get the job done. That said I have no idea if a different plug would be better or not. Just asking:confused:

I agree with Green50, a great story, and it is hard to believe that it's the same car.

This is good info. I had been thinking it was something I was doing wrong. Sounds like the 3M stuff is the way to go.

I was a distributor of equipment and parts myself and that is so true Rockfla. If you had three in stock the customer needed five, or if you had square they needed round ones. Just the same it's a pain in the butt.

Congratulations! Great Post

Thanks for your help.

Anyone know the part number for the bottom hose's on a stock 52 F1,8BA? Napa or Ford would be good Thanks

Yes,very nice pics! Thanks for share them.

Looking forward to your pictures. Hope you get the time to down load a few.

MAC VP, that is a good website Thanks

I used 2 gal. straight vinegar and topped it off with water for only 24hr. and then back flushed with lots of water and used an air hose to get some action in the water as it was draining. It worked well however I think a few more days would have done a better job.

4tford, no I'm unable to make Gimli Beach cruise this year.  If you could find the time when you get there have a Cold beverage for me.

I'd say that would be tricky and then some. I called Carpenter but didn't order at this time. I'll be in the U.S. shortly and will arrange to have it dropped shipped where I'm staying and save the $25.00 to have it shipped into Canada.

Thanks for the help Ross.

The 52, f1 parking brake lever has a spring that holds tension on the ratcheting system, and that spring has broken. Does anyone have an idea where I could get a replacement?

Thanks that explains the hard turning. I'm not looking forward to the reinstall.

Ok, I got it or at least one bolt out. It's just very tight. No mystery after all.
