    Safety alert!

    Also found the same conductive insulators on a new wiring harness for my wife's 1941 pickup. The harness was built by a very reputable manufacturer who was very distraught to hear of the issue. I don't think this is a matter of one parts supplier, I think the suppliers are all buying from the...

    Safety alert!

    Sent the one's I bought for my truck back to the seller and they replaced them very promptly with quality replacements. I still have to get all of the others out of Dad's truck and send them back. We thought we had all of them shrink wrapped or electrical taped, but on a shakedown run we had...

    Safety alert!

    Check your A-14487 wire connectors. Some of them have conductive insulation and can cause fires. We've had a bunch of trouble on Dad's '29 AA. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

    '41 4cyl P/U question

    Thanks for the info fellas. Sorry about the orientation Mart, I was having enough difficulty posting with this phone anyway. Thanks for the repost Mercman. I knew it didn't look anything like the one in my '41 V8 half-ton. I was just going off what the fella who sold me the parts said it was...

    '41 4cyl P/U question

    Thanks, I had a feeling that it wasn't, but wanted to make sure. I got it with a cache of '40-'41 pickup parts I bought and didn't have much trust in the sellers word. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

    Alternator or not?

    We're not planning on showing it as a points truck, but I do want it to appear as close as possible to original. The wife plans on running it at the Newport Hill Climb and there's penalties added to your time for modifications and if it's too modified it will not be allowed to run, not that...

    Alternator or not?

    As I said I have been lead to believe that alternators are safer and more reliable (by car guys in general and friends who have experienced electrical fires and cooked batteries) and I wasn't sure so I thought I'd ask folks who have actual experience with flatheads and generators and...

    Alternator or not?

    Longevity is definitely one of my concerns, as we are planning to drive it regular and often. Thanks for your response. Sent from my E6910 using Tapatalk

    Alternator or not?

    Working on the wife's '41 PU resto and I am contemplating the purchase of a stock appearing alternator. Still planning on running 6v pos ground. I've always been told that alternators are safer/more reliable and I guess that's why I'm thinking about it. I know this may be a can of worms, but...

    All I know is that The parts my A was made from were made by working men with dirty hands and sore backs. It is to them I extend my thanks and wish them rest in the hereafter.

    Milling the head

    Hoogah brings up a good point. My previous engine was decked .030 and the head was milled .030. when I swapped the head to my current engine it was standard deck. The decked block was unmarked. You'll definitely want to clay ball the clearances at the very least. I've seen friends double up on...

    Did the A always have shocks ?

    Shocks are definitely a good idea and will add to your enjoyment, that being said, I've been driving my jalopy pickup without for ten years, (many highway miles and many country roads way too fast,) and I'm not dead yet. When you get around to them, rebuild them or get some new. Until then...
