This thread is quite useful. It covers a lot of other things that you weren't inquiring about, but is handy to reference from time to time depending on what you;re working on. Mike https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=269580

You might also want to remove the speedo and lubricate it with a light oil (sewing machine oil?). The one in my 50 Custom Deluxe also bounced around (at low speeds) and made noises. There should be a place to apply oil. Mine had what looked like a wick sticking up out of an opening. Just a...

The colors of the car and the leaves go well together! :D Beautiful scenery. The leaves are turning here in Michigan as well. Like last year, it seems like the colors are going to be very bright and intense. Mike

Frank already posted part of this, but the rest of the discussion is very interesting. Mike http://www.tildentechnologies.com/Cams/FlatheadPerformance.html

You might get more responses if you remind people what model you have. In a previous post, you mentioned that it is a 33 Tudor, but worth mentioning again. I'm not familiar with these cars so I can't answer your question. Hopefully, some of the guys that know these cars well will chime in...

Corona virus??? :D Best Regards, Mike

Habusailor, I have a 40 year old Craftsman that is 12 volt. It will work with my 6V car, but the strobe is brighter if I attach the battery leads to a 12 volt battery instead of the 6V car battery. Best of Luck. Mike

Thank you for the heads-up. Seems like a lot of that happening right now. Mike

Mr Laser, I'm not a photographer for sure. But these pix may help. The cable on mine comes out of firewall and arcs down to a clip on the steering gear. The other cable is speedo. Then it passes through this tab on bellhousing. Not sure if that's correct, but the car hasn't been messed...

I have read posts on here where people were able to use various home recipes to free up a stuck valve. I tried those things, and going through the intake opening as you have. I let MMO, trans fluid and WD40 soak in the guide for days. In the end, I had to remove the head to free up the valve...

I'll take a couple of pictures that show how the rest of the cable is routed from the firewall down to the trans on mine. It's a pretty straight shot to that solenoid the way it's setup. Mike

Don't know if you still need a picture of that cable clip for the OD, but here's the one on my '50 Custom Deluxe. Haven't found a part number though. Have you checked with Mac VanPelt? Mike

I'm pretty sure that the 1.5 ohm coil is for 6 volt electrical systems and the 3.0 ohm coil is for 12 volt systems. I also understand that using copper core wires may cause problems with their electronics in the distributor.

Keep at it. This "book" has helped me a couple of times recently. I'll see if I can post the main diagram that might help see how it all connects. You may also be able to grab the diagram itself off the internet. :) Mike

Wondering if the turn signals are wired into the headlight switch correctly. I say that because the park lamps are supposed to go off when you pull the headlight switch all the way out for headlights. Might be related. Mike

Speaking of pan rail cracks, did the 59 AB that you put in your pickup hold up alright? :) Mike

Keep in mind that it's been documented that a spacer that has the divider just like the intake ports works better for our two barrel Flatties as documented by JWL in his Flathead Facts book. Just sharing. ;) Mike

Jerry, Be aware of the fact that not all power valves for the 94 are created equal. The one you want needs to have a completely flat surface where it mates up to the bottom of the carb. Newer valves have a "raised" machined surface that won't seal properly to our old carbs and will leak...

Right in your neighborhood, Pat! ;) Thanks for posting about the meet. Mike
