On my F-1, the door is similarly constructed, the top/rear of the door and glass is radiused. There are sheet metal tabs in the radiused part of...
I recently had a similar experience, found a shop within a block of other places I'd been that truly knew their stuff. It's a great feeling!
Here's how :o
That truck is a beauty! The big truck guys over on Ford Truck Enthusiasts have compiled a bunch of info on the WM's. Certain Dodge motor homes...
May all your Christmases be FLAT! [IMG]
On a related note (WWII fighter planes), here is a GREAT short video with an ending that surprised me! Dogfighting over Ireland, crank the sound!!...
Any fluid loss? Sounds like a possible head gasket leak. Have you re-torqued the heads (a couple of times)? Which two cylinders?
Here ya go... also some on eBay http://www.beautomotivemachine.com/servlet/the-108/Black-%26-Decker-Valve/Detail
I think he lied to you, put the pieces back in your truck and take it back. There's no way this was a good running engine. If you only gave a...
That engine's got to weigh 900 lbs??
Mine seems to be leaking at that tube; is it just rolled into the hole or is a seal of some kind? I was thinking of brazing it to stop the...
They generally DON'T seal, not very well at least... :mad:
What I don't like about electrics is the "deadband" between Fan Off and Fan On. If you drive in relatively cool weather, and are moving most of...
Throw a vacuum gauge on it, I agree with the leak diagnosis.
Great pics! Looks like a good show.

Good pics, thanks for posting. Haven't seen so many small cars in a long time (like the Topolino's, Thames...)
+1 on all points, but to clarify, just having a written piece of paper saying who gets what, even if signed by you, won't keep stuff out of...
My son gave me a pair of 3M bifocal safeties with little aim-able LED lamps in the corner of each lens -- great for under-car work!
I wouldn't use used oil in your car, no matter how desparate you are. Anything out of the tanks at a quick change or AutoZone type place will be...
+1 on the dropped axle, although I wouldn't use a tube, get one that's stretched. Cheap and quick compared to all the clips/MII/etc. You can...
I saved this picture of a gorgeous boat powered by a 59-series Ford motor, was owned by a member on the old MSN Flathead board.
A hydraulic parts supply store should be able to make up what you need.
"Straight" ACAD is passe now, for most industries. BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a further enhancement that is actually pretty awesome....
I got so tired of trying to fold/unfold the cotter pins when adjusting my clutch that I put in clevis / hitch pins. MUCH easier! And re-usable....
Great pics, looks like a fun time!
I'd rather see A/C on his flathead than have him put in a 350 so he could be comfortable in the summer.
Got to be bad plug wires. If they are internally broken, they'll look for something else to ground to.
My old man had a 64 Comet with 200-6 and 2-sp auto that he bought new. The end cylinders get burned exhaust valves by about 75k miles, from...
Man, my eyes are getting bad... :rolleyes:
