I have a 39 tudor with original charging system: 6 volt positive ground. I am having issues with the charging system. Am looking for someone in the SF Bay area that has an old school charging diagnosing equipment that I can bring the system to for diagnosis. Any one suggest someplace, relatively...

Newc, are you on team stake the coupler hole; or peen the pin?

I am looking for the proper procedure for fixing the pin in the coupler mating the pinion shaft to the driveshaft on my 39. I have read that this is done by staking the coupler around the pin. But when I removed the pin, the pin had been peened over the coupler. Which technique is correct?

Thanks to all who have responded here

Brian, Mea Culpa; Alzheimer's has set in. By the way any tips on using the search feature? When I, for example, type in Torque Tube seal removal, I get back Torque tube answers, seal answers, making research inefficient. Other search sites allow coupling the search parameters such that your get...

Yes, I am referring to 4655; most replacement guides indicate that this is a split shell that is twisted out of its detent with the appropriate tool. But the race (shell) I have is solid. Ken/Alabama; how did you remove the solid race and seal from your vehicle? I assume since it was a 39 it had...

I am working through the banjo on my '39. Thought I should upgrade the torque tube while I have it out. The rest of the car is all original (what I mean is if replacement parts were used they replicated the original parts). But, when I looked at the bearing race on the torque tube (front), it...

Anyone have an experience with this installation?

Karl, I agree your assessment for the front door regulators; but these are for the rear on a Tudor. I don't see any provision for a slide engagement like in the front doors.

I have a 1939 Tudor Deluxe. I am replacing the rear window. I am about to reinstall the window. Searching the forum I found helpful instructions. One of the threads showed someone installing rubber washers onto the window channel stop...

I have access to an Allen distributor machine, but I have never used one. Does anyone have documentation for the Allen?

Terry, Do you know of anyone that sells NOS inner caps?

Working on my 39 distributor (original style distributor). I have new inner distributor caps from Dennis Carpenter and a new old stock rotor. In the instruction sheet from Carpenter, it says, posts are purposefully tall and would need filing to achieve the correct gap of 0.003 - 0.005"...

I have a 39 Deluxe with original engine. I am looking to replace the oil line from the filter to the bolt on the distributor. I think the oil filter is from a later model. The oil line has a banjo fitting on one end and a pipe thread on the other end. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement?

I wanted to give my feedback after accomplishing the installation of my door glass. I already had removed the interior door card (cover) and the regulator. Before removing the regulator, I would recommend marking the screw positions on the door frame, as this will align the window to the...

I am working on a 1939 Tudor. I have removed the door window and replaced the window channels and felts. Looking for advice on replacing the window. Must the window be installed with the regulator in place, or can the window be installed on the regulator at the bottom of the door and then move...

Ok, I have installed the lower door seals, thanks to the help here in the forum. Now the door requires significant force to close, and the force required to open with the inside door handle is excessive. The old rubber is the same as the new one I installed, except that it was flattened (because...

I have found the attachment screws, they are under the rubber and attach to the door jam, thanks for the responses

I am including photos of the scuff pad and rubber. There appears to be no screws visible from the inside of the car. Don't know if this represents original equipment, but again would like to have recommendations as to the removal, before I possibly ruin a piece of trim.

I don't have the screws attaching the scuff plate you show in your pictures. I don't know which installation is standard, but I still need to understand how to remove my metal strips (scuff plate?) I really don't want to bend/destroy that strip.
