News to me, too!! Frank there certainly helped me very much in the early days of my '56!! Thank you, Kultulz.

Spot on Tom!!!

You are a treasure!! We need you here...one way or another!!:cool:

To salvage that cracked cylinder, it would have to be welded, then bored, and then sleeved to save just that part. Thinking the $$$ for that would put you a ways down the road for a good block to begin your project with!!;)

Hoping they are returnable with a full refund...maybe out the shipping!!:)

While I know you asked about running new lines, I think it's worth mentioning that if you're rebuilding the hydraulic (original) system, go with ATF instead of the original brake fluid approach. And, if you're disassembling the original system with brake fluid in it, be VERY careful!!! You...

Oldgas, what happen when you jack the front wheels off the ground and then turn the steering wheel...with the engine running?

Had a similar issues with my '56 T Bird. Turned out the horns themselves were shot, so replaced.

Currious Randall. Are you just rebuilding your damper, or are you replacing the front crant seal and timing chain while you're at it?

I bought that one that Mike posted the link to above and that's my rating of the tool. It worked flawlessly and I'd not pulled a damper/pulley from a Y Block before, so for me it was a good value and tool investment!! Best of luck. Dick.

Check out the one at CASCO . I have that one on my '56 T Bird and it's worked very well for me. As noted above, not cheap....$289...easy to bolt on and wire up.

Agree with Mike above. Think a check at the top and bottom with an Infared thermometer could give you a better sense of what's going on vs. the dash gauge. Would be a nice result to find that your current radiator etc. is doing just fine!!!:)

Re: This is how you sell a Ford … Great outcome. The seller's videos were exceptional...especially the "cold start" one!!!

Re: This is how you sell a Ford … I think the Art Dr. has sized up BaT perfectly! I sold my '27 T hot rod and my '47 Super Deluxe Convertible there, however, because it is a venue that gets a lot of exposure. As noted, it seems to be a younger buyer's marketplace...and yes, they are not...

Feel the same way about hoping he will come back. He sure knows his stuff and how to do a deep dive into the technical aspects of a problem or an assembly.

Hi, guys, I talked to Ron at Damperdudes this afternoon, and it seems this really is my only option...and probably the best one. Thanks for responding so quickly!! (Like most things with our old Fords, it's learning as we go!!) Going to box up my old one tomorrow and ship it off.:) Cheers...

I'm replacing the balancer and front crank seal on my '56 T Bird with power steering. Until I pulled the old balancer off this morning, I thought the Dayco PB1199N was the recommended replacement. I was very WRONG!! I can't make out the Ford part # on the old one even after quite a bit of...

I, too, converted to electric because I eliminated the original fuel pump and the vacuum source. I didn't remove the radio but did some heater duct... and yes, spent lots of time upside down under the dash!! Very happy with the result!! Bought the kit from CASCO.

Brad, you sure are having a time with this one!! And....getting quite an education not possible with your flathead!!!:)

Outstanding photos and outstanding dialogue, Lawrie!! You are a master of the outback and offroad!!! As Mart said a few posts back, sitting here in very hot southern Arizona and following along...doesn't get much better than this for me!!!
