Yes, I see the difference and recall clearly when I first looked over my 40 Fordor that the owner cautioned me never to lift the hood with the release handle. Now I can see why…

Here’s a link to a 1937 sedan delivery that is listed on Facebook Marketplace. I am posting so others can see it. I am not involved in the sale in any way, just posting so others can see it...

My 1940 radio is wired to the firewall block where the ignition resistor and circuit breaker is located. It’s wired to the far right post which is the hot side of the circuit breaker. The wire to the radio has an inline fuse.

It’s unlikely but the transverse spring might not be centered. The bolt that holds the spring together has a square head that fits into a square hole in the center of the rear cross member. It’s not too much of a job to undo the 4 nuts that hold the spring up into the cross member and check...

I have the Mitchell 26% unit with the original 4.11 rear end. It was relatively easy to install. I chose the cable shift. The forward edge of the Mitchell is very close to the rear edge of the footwell. Once when I inadvertently hit a deep dip, the rebound caused the edge to hit the rear of...

I’ve used this calculator for many years. It’s helpful if you are thinking of a differential ratio or overdrive change. Also it helps if you start thinking about changing tire size. https://www.advanced-ev.com/Calculators/TireSize/

As Gary said above, try finding the timing sweet spot and then try adjusting the carburetor control under the dash to find the smoothest engine. I do this in low gear so I don't have to be going too fast.

I just drove my 29 standard coupe to a meeting of the newly established Monadnock chapter of MAFCA in Keene, NH. It was a chilly 25° when I left but the Autolite heater kept me warm on the 25 mile journey from my home. I made the meeting on the dot of 9:00, the scheduled meeting time, came...

Thanks for posting, Mart. When will we see your next video? I’m sure 'there's more to show.'

Welcome to the Fordbarn! I have a stock 37 pickup andI could check out the bed mounting for you. Let me know what you’d like to see and I’ll try to get some pictures. Hopefully there’s someone who might have a diagram to show you the actual connection points.

Brewesters. Beautiful heart shaped grills.

I had that problem once and it was the base of the generator cutout grounding out. But as all have said you need to systematically go through all the wiring to find the short.

Kube, My 85hp 1940 DeLuxe has a split radiator with crank hole but the filler is on top. What car used that radiator?

38 Coupe, thanks for that comprehensive chart. I have a 26% Mitchell in my 40 DeLuxe with a 4.11 rear end it's interesting to see the rpm drop in overdrive.

I’ve used this website. Plug in values for tire size, differential ratio, RPM, speed. Plug in any 3 values to get the fourth. http://www.advanced-ev.com/Calculators/TireSize/

They are located in Bow, NH.

Bruce, check on the Early V8 club site to find a club near you. If there’s a contact number call and ask about a puller. BTW, if you buy the suggested puller, you will find that you use it fairly frequently for servicing the rear brakes. Plus, you'll have many friends who will want to borrow it!

Oops….$975

There’s a 39 ****** for sale on the swap side of the Barn. Listed this morning. $950.

Lots of opinions and suggestions but you won’t go wrong either with 15-40 Rotella or any brand 20-50. Chalk up your 10-30 experience as a quick oil change to clean out the engine. Good luck and have fun with your car.
