Fuel gage stopped working and I need help finding the sending unit. Also would like to know what type of sending unit would work. Thanks

Thanks for the insight. I'll try both.

The inner race for the inner wheel bearing turns but is a snug fit. I was told it shouldn't turn and to remove it and add a few punches to the opening to make a tight fit and keep it from turning. My question is what harm does the turning do if any?

This 36 Woodie was once owned by film star Gloria Swanson. I bought it from the prior owner of 55 years. Original except for repainted fenders. Runs great and I use it for local travel around town.

What is the desired thickness for front brake linings on a thirty six wagon? Mine are showing .15 of an inch. Riveted composition linings.

I have checked the vacuum and get the late ign firing at about 16 pounds. Haven't done compression yet. How do I advance timing while the dist. Is on engine.? Also a lot of condensation and soot at tailpipe?

I have just started a rebuilt v8 with rebuilt dist, detroit lubricator carb, and early style intake manifold. Engine starts fine but runs rough at idle and the exhaust note sounds like passing gas,(farting) not a true backfire but an odd poping sound. Before I pull things apart I'm looking for...

I am replacing the cork seal at the end of the steering gear and I need to know what order the parts go on. In particular the concave metal washer. Does it go on first with the concave in followed by the cork washer, then the gasget, then the metal plate, then the metal end housing with no...

It is a later 32 pump with the holes and the push rod is the 8 1/8 3 piece. I'm new to these fords and in searching for a rebuild kit see fuel pumps that are coming off the side advertised as 32 to 48 so I assumed these were later year modifications so I called mine an early year pump. In any...

I need the length of the fuel pump push rod for the early 32 fuel pump. I'll try to post a picture but if not able it's the one that sits straight above the rod and not off to the side. V8 motor.

I have 6.3 at the battery, 6.24 at switch both sides, 6.23 at resister in and 2.4 at the resister out and at coil connection. I also measured my 36 and got 2.7 at the coil connection and the car runs great. So I really don' t know where to look next. I think I'll re-do all the ground...

This is a freshly rebuilt 1932 v8 that I am trying to start for the first time. I have the engine turning by hand and by the starter but have no spark. The distributor is from Bubba's and included the coil and condenser. It is the helmet type. I installed it on the block with the...

I found a ground strap from the engine to the frame improved the cranking considerably. So I probably won't need the 12 volts. Thanks for the help.

Trying to start a rebuilt tight motor. Can I use a 12 volt battery on the starter only to get better turn without hurting the starter? Will a 12 volt turn the engine faster? thanks

What should the red wire to the coil/condenser read with the switch on? Thanks this is a 32 v8.

Thanks for that prompt reply.

Trying to reconvert b gas pedal back to v8. Can anyone show or tell me what type of fitting was under the small cover at the gas pedal? The b had two eye bolts housing the pedal rod but the v8 has only one in the middle of firewall. Seems like there should a second or was the cover used to...

What mods are required to fit the b trans to a model a?

I was thinking $300-500 since it has all the components. Will try to get more history if possible. The engine is out of a 32 but has a id number dating it to mid 1933. The 32 is an original v8 car and I have a 32 v8 so I'm making the switch. There is a risk in buying a used engine so I think...

I'm trying to value a good running b motor with all components and transmission. I have posted a picture under 4 cylinder b motor. A value range would be helpful.
