    Ok, found the numbers on the transmission. On the ID tag, it says "PAR-7003 C2" and "110-23066" I used a camera and looked on the side of the trans housing and found this molded into the casting. "PAK 7006-C W1 . It has 14 bolts on the pan. It has the dipstick into the pan, not the casting...

    Also been working on the oogah horn that's on it. It appears the flange on the horn contacted something like a speed bump. I took it apart and straightened out both sides and the "diaphragm" in the middle. The horn works, has a nice sound, but is not very loud at all. I did not find any name...

    Well, about a month ago, finally got the car to the house so I can work on it much, much easier. Tore the carb apart and rebuilt it. It has what looked like cork gasket material in the float bowls. Took it down and cleaned it really well. Now the car will start with the manual choke very...

    I spoke to my brother who has helped on this car before. He tells me it is definitely a Ford FMX trans. My recollection from working on the engine was only one rod to that bracket and that is from the accelerator pedal. Everything else was cables. Like I said above, I'm very good at setting...

    Very familiar with ethanol and what it does to engines and components. I'm a motorcycle racer and am so glad I switched to a bike with fuel injection. I also run Liquid Performance Ethanol Equalizer in all the fuel I personally use. I have a sonic cleaner that we use for cleaning carb and...

    My Dad didn't build the car. He lucked into it at a great price years ago. My Dad's death was definitely a surprise. He did used to drive it more but ended up with a beautiful '57 Bel Air, a '40 2 door sedan and several other projects so this got bumped to the shed for awhile. I'll get the...

    Is an auto but I believe I can create something in the same shape to do the job without looking so out of place. The transmission cable will be easy to mount to a custom plate. I've done a few of them for different cars. Can't remember if it was an FX/MX or FMX transmission. Many parts on it...

    I inherited a 1929 Model A T-bucket from my father when he passed away unexpectedly last year. My understanding is it has a 312 Y Block in it from a 1956 T-bird. I have just recently started working on this. Last time I visited my father he had replaced the master cylinder and I helped him...
