The one in the picture looks like the Zim brand I have, light duty, there are also stamped steel, and the best are KRWilson and Ford brand tools,...
Go to fordbarn, someone may be in your area. Great to be doing an educational deal with it. You have to have a valve bar, PM if you want I can...
Did you end up with 16 bolts? One go's to a bracket that hold up the back of the starter, is the starter out? Can't imagine how the cam broke...
It is unusual for that crack to be missing, my guess is every block has at least one of those 4 studs cracked, don't mess with it. Green is...
8BA = car motor cast into the head. Truck motor heads are 8RT so motor or head was changed, are they both the same? Also the truck carb is 8RT...
I start cleaning the pigpen up and run across it sooner or later. Or I find something I was looking for a couple weeks ago and start working on...
My AV8 has 39 type brakes with 49 truck master morethan adequate. But even with a full size car you should be able to lock em up easy, so why more...
Scrap a flathead, add a milk can top and a swiped bent roadsign, very cool, too cool for me.
Yeh it's been planed, corrosion not bad though, have to measure the valve pockets. I love em shined and coated. Those are for flat top piston a...
For some reason when try to pass on a auction about classic or race stuff thread was stopped and was scolded even though I had no stake in it....
Not just a wedge cut but actual Z
Tim, was the clamshell stuffed with massive amounts of grease? If so, that's the way it's supposed to be. I would play with the joint to see if...
Model A does not have a square bolt pattern so will not work with a V8 anything as I know. Back plate from late, hydraulic, have to be egged out...
I hope these photos aren't redundant as I recall responding to a similar question before. I lowered my frame behind the crossmember, & used cross...
I have At least 5" close to 6" empty car, and no snubbers. Roads aren't much good around here and I do go off road so I want enough cushion.
Oil bath should take care of the inlet, I say used oil soaked rag stuffed up the exh pipes. What can oil in the pan hurt? I have a 37 motor I...
First I don't use aftermarket parts so I don't know about spacers. The center bolt in the spring only holds the spring pack together, and does fit...
No model A is a lot wimpier in all aspects. Scoff the 39 parts, don't forget the steering & pedal set, must be the frame is shot if crushed by the...
Further extremes, i had most ofa '46 X & most of a model A frame. I used the X piece in backwards, had a '39 pedal set but didn't figure the...
Start it up with the cover off the pump stand. You will see the oil welling up and running out of the pump rod hole, not a lot. Drop in the pump...
She won't like that heavy 4 speed, need a pickup trans, but if it go's with it... Also try to get the pedals & steering if cheap
Looks like some good body materials , I can't find anything that nice around here. I would use a TT spring, my crossmember was hacked up so I had...
I would look for a later prewar car reared usually 3.78 ratio, tougher
IMO mopar to mopar, chebby to chebby , etc.. I would be thinking 318, had a 65 D100 318 truck super ugly & rotted that used almost NO gas, tire fryer.
Noes not compute
Most common are straight spoke welded, the bent spoke wheels are $$. 33-34 are 17" x 3.5" '32 18x3.25".
I sent $ both ways shipping plus wide 5wheels to be widened. After 6 months he answered the phone, I said I can make a trip down there about 200...
I have a spare 37 motor I overhauled a "helmet" type for it but have been running 37 & 36 engines and use the later "crab" type. Not only are...
Don't have a scale, can pick up & carry one, rather not with the tube wishbones & driveshaft. As far as un-sprung weight, a tube coupled to the...
You can't reach the heads of the 4 bolts in question so they are a L shape, so you won't have to hold them. Lots of other details that are best...
