I think I'd rather have too much than not enough. If it's at 10 and it drives good I'd be happy.
Sounds like an internal problem with the planetary. Pull the tailshaft and inspect.
1940 Ford convertible is another one year only body. Nothing in common with a 39 or 41.
I had my home heating oil delivery guy fill mine while he was there, which is basically diesel. When that reached the end of it's life I switched...
When I rebuilt my Cadillac 331 a few years ago the only thing I could find was oil pump rebuild kits, so that's the route I took. It wasn't...
Sounds like an excuse for rear ending the guy, they probably collapsed after the hit.
I think 201's have the webbing and pinion support inside, where the 101 clearly doesn't. Hope you didn't pay too much for a junk 101
I'm a parts guy at a construction company, so I don't spend a lot of money on the tool truck, but yesterday I brought the guy two stripped 1/4...
When I put the motor in my '40 I didn't have room on the side to hang the generator, so I made my own bracket to hold a Ford generator, it goes to...
I still see a lot of torque tube closed drive setups with guys running split radius rods to the frame, or some sort of ladder bars to the frame,...
I've used the Speedway 12 circuit kit in three of my cars. They worked out well.
Thanks Steve, it's 40 rear with pirches welded on top. It's got a posies reversed eye spring in it, the narrower version. Frame is stock. It had a...
Random question, I'm curious if anyone else has run into this. When I was torquing down the heads on my 55 331 I had one of the rocker shaft...
Buying stuff and getting a good deal isn't a trade either.
What exactly do you want to know? This was my dad's car, it has a '32 K member with legs and the torque tube, 8ba, mechanical fan. Firewall had to...
I'm pretty sure F1 are 11" and F2 are 12", hopefully someone chimes in with more information.
Bringing back this super old thread because I think old fender covers are cool. It's the kind of automobilia you can actually still use. I'd love...
Why not lift the front of the car as high as you can, put conventional jackstands under it on both sides, then jack up the control arm enough to...
Both of my A's have a '60's Ford trunk latch that accept a cable. Trunk lid just has a bolt going through the original handle hole to grab the...
I think it's pretty neat. I think they could have done better on the steering wheel and details like that, but overall it works. You can clone...
Really? I'm 39 now but the reason I still have Hagerty is they were the only ones who would insure me when I was under 25.
I never had a mice problem in 20 years, except for the year I put drier sheets in my cars for good measure. You're mileage may vary.
I used Kirker perfect prime on my model a last year and I was really happy with it. I'm no body guy, but my buddy recommended it and he's painted...
The flat is in the clear, I don't think buffing it will do anything. I agree, scuff and reshot a gloss clear on it.
Try moving the accelerator pumps to a higher setting. Sounds like it might just be starving for fuel briefly on heavy throttle off idle.
How did you ever make out with this distributor? My dad had a ZC 275A in his motor, I recall he removed all of the vacuum parts in his so it would...
I tend to agree it can come off as a '70's restomod thing. When my '40 was restored someone thought it was a good idea to woodgrain the dash, and...
