My A V/8

Radials will work fine. I have them on my 1935 wheels. Ed

Re: My ‘29 V-8 I moved my radiator out 1 inch to use the 1946 fan. This is on a 1928 coupe. Ed

Do mean 12 volt battery?

I've run them on my 16 inch wires for years. Never any problems running tubless.

Here's some pics of the new one that I have. Ed

Here is the underside of mine. No evidence of a missing connector. Yes, I knew I was missing the foam insulator. Usually you can see where the wire was connected, but not finding it on this one. Yes, I knew it was different than the F1 and yes I want to use the 1950 wheel on the F1 column. As...

Thanks guys. This is going on an F1 steering box and tube. I didn't know if I was missing some parts that the horn wire attached to. I'm not seeing any place on the horn ring to attach the wire and there is not a place on the inside of the wheel that looks like an attachment spot.

This was my solution to put a 10 inch air cleaner on my flathead. I had a crusty oil bath air cleaner that was on a 39 engine. I cut the bottom out of it and then matched it to a new air cleaner ($25 from O'Rileys) The bottom hole is set up for a 4 barrel. Then tacked the two together and now...

Another suggestion is to replace the top bushing with a bearing. O'Rilleys has a wheel bearing part number 7-04133 (12 bucks). This bearing has a small lip which you grind off and it fits perfectly into the F1 barrel. This makes a world of difference in the steering. Ed

X2 on the washers. Only used on aluminum heads.

Phil, do you have the wishbones split or are they still mounted under the transmission?
