Re: Question about a 36’ flathead pressure plate. Don't blame the parts if you didn't ->carefully<- assemble them yourself.. All is an unknown at this time. If the grease monkey who put the chatter box clutch in didn't bother to wash his hand ->spotless<-, then he probably left oily finger...

My 46 Canadian Merc coupe also had one, can't remember if the 47 Merc coupe had one or not as I only had it long enough to flip. My 41 For Super Deluxe Business coupe was a really neat car and also had one, or should I say -had most of what was left of one + lots of old lead filler- :rolleyes:

. I don't think this will be a case of '1-2 years then get off early', Fraud is in the Billions And will put other banks and creditors in a similar position of loss and Bankruptcy. Here's what I could find out about the case: First Brands Group, LLC is a Cleveland-based global...

I'm like you in that in the coming days I'll be stocking up on Autolite 216's as well as I'll make sure to grab a bunch of extra Carlson brake hardware kits for the Ford and Mercury Trucks I come across. A few of my more recognizable trucks: The first two Mercurys were the inspiration for...

Fram should have been killed off decades ago

p.s. As already noted, Uncle Max is the person you want to deal with. You won't find a better more knowledgeable / respected guy than Uncle Max.

Good Choice. Clive Prew was at one time a member of the MSN Flathead forum some 25 years ago when he was working on the finishing touches of his new 97s. He more or less kept us up to date on the new and improved features of his 97 while we watched it come to fruition. Unfortunately there...

It's important to try and balance the glass in the channel otherwise the glass can have a tendency to bind on the up stroke and or tilt forward/aft with the window halfway up while cruising. Windows that bind while trying to raise them will wear out both your crank as well as any felt or guides...

hmmmm, The Autolite 216 used to be a great plug and back in the 80's they even came with a guarantee, But now made in China? I guess I shoulda stocked up while I had the chance.

Wellll, like Jack Benny used to say, "I'm 39" but I feel 206 .

. Ron, up here in the frozen north we are having trouble getting Complete Flathead engine gasket sets as it seems they have discovered that they can triple their profits by only selling you partial/kits for waterpump or for oil pan or for intake or heads etc, No complete sets anymore? Is...

. Here's a Great Video of some French Flatheads in action. Most of these ex military vehicles have the French Flathead in them, there is however the odd puguet? or something in with them... BTW, the hammering you hear in the cab is the auxiliary air-pump that is used to run additional...

I believe they went on and used them into 90's and only in about 2002? did the French sell off all the extra warehoused engines, parts and stock. It was a great time to be in and around Texas as that's where the hundreds? of engines (and thousands of parts) all ended up...

. no grease no oil .

Did you try good old Gasoline as a solvent? Gas is rubber, plastic, paint safe. It dries film/oil free.. Think of How many times in the last 40 years you have overfilled the gastank in your truck and the paint has never been harmed? We used to wash rental cars in gas to get road tar off them...

It's been done for years, 4 ring pistons with only 3 rings, You are not breaking new ground or forging new territory here. moe

that's not the problem

. This sadly is life in the north. It makes me wonder why US sellers on that epay site offer FREE! shipping in the lower 48 but Force their friendly northern neighbors to cough up US 14$ to put a intake decal into an envelope and place a 50 cent stamp on it. One intake decal, $3.95 One...

Yes Jack, avoid the AOD-E, which has metric embossed on the pan. Go with the older version and save yourself many headaches, wire nightmares and $$$.

Valuable Tool! and fun to learn on as well. Hopefully it will come with all the attachments and proper manuals.
