The design and manufacturer of the Ford's vs the Chevys is really interesting. I have grown up around Model A and Model T Ford's. I find the...

Yes, along with the remains of the touring body, two back doors, sides, seat springs etc. Front doors were missing. Gonna look at converting the...
Drove a little ways and went to see a 25 touring sitting in a barn. Came home with a partial body, seat springs, hood, rear fenders, vacuum tank,...
I think you told me what I needed. Based on some other info and what you have told me 25 and 26 are really close to the same. I have a lead on...
I appreciate the offer to check on cowls. I am afraid the shipping would be pretty steep. Does anyone know if the 25, 26, and 27 bodies are the...
I drove all day yesterday and came home with a very rusty roadster cowl 25?, dashboard, and internal brackets for the windshield posts. I don't...
Thanks for the pics of the brackets. With regards to the transmission crossmember. As that bolts between the trans and bell housing, does the 26...
This is the pic for one advertised on ebay. He lists it for 25-28. Which I don't think is correct. Is there an easy way to tell what year is what...
Thanks
Looking at some pics of original cars, my 24-25 radiator is not going to work with a 26 and later generator unless I can change the bottom outlet....
Thanks, More good info. I measured springs last night. The front springs I have match the spec. The rear springs I have measured 52, but I didn't...
Hood he That info is helpful. Are all of the front motor mounts the same? I think The front mount I have is off of a 28. I don't have a rear...
Do you agree that the frame is a 26? I have the spring specs from GM. The 26 data says rear springs are 54" eye to eye and are 1.75" wide....
On the frame I just got, the brake rod "bell crank" is behind the cross member. The fuel tank is there, it does not have a fuel gauge or provision...
Finally found a 25-27 frame within driving distance. Went and got it today along with some repairable fenders, hood, cowl, front apron, and...
I know this is about engines but I acquired a radiator and shell for my speedster... Thought I'd share. My speedster (pile of parts) is starting...
I like the suggestions on the screws and silver soldering the crack, I may try that. As to the gear, I noticed the thick hub and wondered if it...
Cracked through one screw hole, see picture. Gear is new, one of the lobes has some pits but I think it will run. I am thinking about cleaning...
New question: the cam retainer is cracked through one of the screw holes. The gear will have to be removed to replace the retainer. The gear I...
Broke the cam loose by finding some tubing and a socket that fit snugly in the two holes in the cam gear, used a ratchet handle as a bar ... Just...
Further engine teardown. Got the crank pulley off easily. Upon inspection it has been broken and welded back together. That would probably be fine...
From "The Model T Ford in Speed and Sport" pages 16,17,18 of the May 1929 Catalog for Arthur Chevrolet Aviation Motors Corporation. The Fronty...
I did a search on the web and came up with a compressed thickness of .050 for a copper type head gasket. The head gasket and the volume around the...
I ran an original style champion plug into my 28 head until it was tight against the washer. Turned valve side up, I leveled the head in two...
Doe anyone know the small volume in the head around the spark plug? While the Chevy head is flat, I think this volume would need to be included...
Cam question, are all of the cams with the distributor drive gear ground the same from the factory? For example is there any advantage to using a...
Did some investigation of the pistons. They are 3.75 bore and marked std on top. Pins are a little less than an inch. Inside the skirts they are...
I am learning a lot just reading the stuff you all post. Spent a few minutes on the engine today, got the pistons loose, took two out. They are...
