Peace and goodwill to all in our Barn community and our families. Happy Thanksgiving!

That's really cool. Thanks Don. Yea, I was measuring from the "B" dimension. Ive' no need to quibble over .030" with the new one. I didn't measure with a caliper anyway so it could be right on the money. This forum of V8'ers is awesome.

My car came with the shorter control rod pictured (black) that measured 10.125 from socket to socket. The new one measures 10.5 as I believe it should. I think Ford changed the length again in 39 to 10.75. So, I'm just wondering where this shorter rod came from? I get a much better return to...

T'is the season...

Driving through a canopy of filtered sunlight.

Nice fall day for a drive..

Gorgeous 36 3 window coupe! Looks like there's an electric cooling fan stuffed in there also. Great for a hot day parade.

For what it's worth, I got my Optima 6v red top from Summit at a decent price and delivery. Very happy with it. I had to make a bracket for it's odd shape but it sits under the floor pan anyway.

Hey, These look great. I don't mind having a spare for the other door either. I bought them. Thanks Tom. From one Tom to another. :-)

So....How am I going to fix this? Can't seem to source a replacement window channel. Any ideas?

I installed an Airtex E8902 on my 6v 36 coupe with a 10 amp fuse as recommended in the instructions. I only use the pump before starting engine. Although once I needed it running with low fuel level in tank however.

Henry in Wilmington is a great guy and would be great for this. He is listed as HD. Good luck

Hey, at least you won't have depreciation to contend with...either way. :-)

Ah, That's it! Problem identified. Thank you Ken and Mark for your keen insight. I will be getting a new belt thus lowering the generator somewhat.

I removed the fan belt and the random "ching" noise that was more pronounced at low idle was completely gone. So I figure somewhere in the water pumps or generator bearings, fan blade. With the belt removed (and engine off ) I tried to wobble the bearings by hand but they seem the same and...

I pulled these off my 36 but since it had been converted to juice brakes, I'm not sure what I've got here.. Mercman, thanks for the photo of yet another variation ; straight radial ribs. Interesting.. Tom

So, I pulled the rear drums off to get at the leaky wheel cylinder(s) and found a few differences. I like the one on the left better. Is this a later design or from another model vehicle?

It might sound a little crazy but if you open the rumble seat, remove the back cushion, close the rumble seat then crawl inside the car with a flashlight, you will have all the room you need to remove the fuel sensor and inspect the tank etc. Some folks have also said to simply open and hold the...

I just looked at mine and it has the two dimples. I would think a Knock off part would skip this detail but I don't profess to know...just my two cents.
