I have a 144 6 cyl, Ford Falcon 1960 Ranchero. It has new gas tank, pickup tube, etc., new fuel pump but cannot get pump to pump fuel. All new line going to the carburetor. The pump gets sufficient gas flow from the tank. What the heck is going on? Do you have any suggestions or ideas...

Stock Zenith carb.

I am in the process of putting together a '29 Model A Jalopy. I will need to run a remote tank and electric fuel pump. Don't know what psi I will need. Can anyone advise? Thanks! Jim

Good idea, thanks. Shoulda thought of that!

Has anyone put a '23 T body (Speedway) on a '28-'29 Model A chassis? If so, how did it work?

This is the one I have and it works fine on the other valves, but #2 has that casting ridge right where I need to fit in the jaws.

Did I forget to say that I'm doing this with the engine in place?

I used this tool to remove them. But I had trouble trying to install with this tool and have only one hand to use to put the keepers in place.

I'm installing modern valve keepers on my Model A engine. I'm using the Sunnen spring compressor tool. But the engine casting next to #2 doesn't allow the tool to fit under the spring. What's the trick for getting #2 installed? Thanks for all advice and tips. JimKrejci

Thanks so much, everyone. I'm going to go with the USA made from Snyders! Appreciate your thoughts. Jim

Which vendor has the best quality door latch? Catalogs show quite a price difference. I'm looking for USA-made, of course, but want the best quality part. Thanks for your help!

Thanks....should have run a search first. I'll read everything I find, but what I have is very fine rust, makes the gas cloudy. Appreciate all the advice on this forum!

I have another issue with the 1929 pickup I just got....is there a good method for cleaning the gas tank without having to remove it?

I have a 29 CCPU. Passenger side window is stuck halfway up. The regulator shaft just freewheels. I know I need to get the window rolled up to get remove the regulator itself, but the window will not roll up or down. My problem is how do I get the regulator out?

FordBarn member Forever4 pointed me in the right direction about the Gleaner engine. This article http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/gleanerbaldwin.htm on FordGarage.com discusses how these engines were used and the photo of the stamped engine number beginning with a G is identical (except...

I'm still looking at a restored 1929 closed cab pickup in very good condition. The engine, we discovered thanks to this forum, is a Model A engine but came from a Gleaner combine. How do you think this replacement engine affects value of the vehicle? How would this affect judging in...

Are you in the wheat belt? That is a Baldwin Gleaner combine engine number. You nailed it, Forever4. The vehicle came from Missouri (it's now in Texas) and was restored there in the 1990's. I found an article on FordGarage.com that includes a picture of an engine plate identical to the one...

Well, upon closer inspection, the number is actually G1496 (not a C at the beginning). The plate is not smooth...the texture feels the same as the adjoining areas. The stamping is not aligned very well. Can see any evidence of other numbers, looking carefully with a light and with enlarged...

We're looking at a 1929 closed cab pickup. The engine serial number is C1496. This is confusing....why would this number be used? Anyone got a clue?

The head on my '29 engine is estimated to be about .006 high in the center portion. What's the max it could be machined to get it true? Thanks!
