Tried that, didn't do much to remove the slop in steering wheel.

How big a deal is it to replace a worn out steering box on my '46? Where do I get a replacement? Can they be rebuilt and if so, by whom?

No, you can hear the electric duel pump running anytime the switch is on but the motor has not been started.

I love driving my '46 Tudor sedan, but the old girl left me on the side of the road last week. I was coasting down a small hill in third and when I tried to apply a little gas....nothing. I switched off the ignition and she immediately died. First thing I did was ensure there was plenty of gas...

I have several inches of play in the steering wheel of my '46 sedan. I understand there is an adjustment on the steering box that will take up some of this but it is not obvious to me how I do this. Suggestions?

After 65+ years, I don't find it unusual that the wiring doesn't match the schematic. I have two snap-in light bulbs that come on when the light switch is pulled out. These lights work. They are separate from the two wires which come out of the clock mechanism. Thru trial and error I found a...

I just installed a rebuilt dash clock in my '46 tudor sedan. It has two wires, one green and one brown. Which one goes to ground?

Imagine my surprise when I pulled the speedometer cable from my 1946 2-dr sedan and found it was only 22 inches long. No wonder the speedometer had not been working. So now I need a new cable and some instruction on how to get out the piece of cable that is still in the metal cable run. I assume...

Do you still have the '46 Ford speedometer? PM me with price and pictures if so. Bill Spurgeon Ooltewah, TN

What condition is the '46 speedometer in? PM me. A picture would be nice. Bill Spurgeon Ooltewah, TN

I need some dash instruments on my '46 Super Deluxe repaired and restored by a professional. Can you recommend someone?

The speedometer in my '46 tudor works fine but the lens is broken. I purchased a new lens aftermarket but it was of such poor quality I returned it. Can anyone recommend an instrument restorer I can send this to for professional repair?

Thanks for the tip. I understand what you are saying but never heard of the term MT before. Must be a kiwi thing. Again, thanks.

OOPS - spoke too soon. I forgot to mention the gauge reads full all the time.

Thanks - got all the info I need from this answer and a search of other posts. This seems to be a common problem.

The fuel level gauge on my '46 Super Deluxe is not working. How do I go about troubleshooting and finding the problem? I don't want to "guess" that it is the float. The gauge has not worked since I acquired the car this summer. Other gauges work OK.

The clock in my '46 Super Deluxe has not run since I bought the car and now seems to be a good time to tackle the problem. The fuse is good, but the reset button on the bottom of the face does not do anything when rotated. I assume this button is used to set the clock. If so, do I pull it out...

Thanks for the answer Ford. I was on HAMB for awhile but got tired of being flamed for asking stupid questions. Some real jerks over there. At least you were polite about it. Where is the forum I'm looking for?

I have a '46 Super Deluxe with all original running gear ('cept some minor mods under the hood) and I'm trying to decide if the car wouldn't look a little more hot-roddy if it were lowered an inch (or two). Anyone tried this? How is it done? Does a minor lowering mess up the steering and/or...

The gear puller you see in this pic had been in my tool box for years without being used. The hub came off easily without using the BFH. So now I got the hub off and various damaged/worn parts laying all over the floor. Is there a pic somewhere that shows me what this thing should look like...
