This is/was one of those long running threads. Lots of opinions, lots of facts. The first time the subject came to light; I had just done some...
Ryan, you took the words out of my mouth. I don't know what else to say. Jay and I swapped bits and pieces for at least the past 10 years....
I agree with Tman. The H.A.M.B. has become a VERY powerful advertising tool (even if it is negative in this case) that warns our brothers and...
inkundone, it's never nice to take a bad experience and turn it into a lesson, but this is an example of what everyone should do ... "go get...
Rich and Choptop, hit the big points. And there are a lot more small ones. Some devotes have been going to Bonneville annually just to try and...
OK. Hi. You were expecting a Brass Band??
Boner, all the others are "steering" you to the "Real Mcoy" quick change rear ends. And YES .. QC's are neat. A couple of points about using...
Am I reading between the lines; that you just want to "swap" the cast iron housing, for a ""quick change housing?"
Denise, wasn't there a discussion about limiting vehicle weights, in light of the Coddington motor home disaster last year? (the salt crust is...
Sorry ... that's the port that the vac line enters the distrib.
... and; check for "cross threaded" fittings; especially at the distributor inlet. (it is notorious for leaking) Plastic hose will give trouble...
'52, I own a '41 flatbed; and you have given me a few new ideas. (it's a driver at the moment, but needs a few "improvements") I think if ole...
This question has had me thinking about a mag also. But there are a couple of "quirks" in the flat head ignition system that I haven't heard how...
It's a shame that SCTA-BNI (or somebody) couldn't set up a tent village for a reasonable nights cost at "bend in the road." Yeah; I know, a tall...
As I understand it; Steve took off that day to search for a possible location - in Nevada?? - that the higher speeds could be set at. Sadly...
Can't say it any better myself.
Yep, I declare Bruce the winner. And for his prize I'll send him one of my Merc CAST IRON intake manifolds. Now here is where I have to admit to...
Man, your sure "touchy." I mixed you up with one of the others. 15 years ... humm, how about 45? Oh ... it is possible to delete a post so...
Block code numbers inside the bell housing won't confirm much. The big indicator is the bell housing itself. If its non existent, (ends at the...
Hey; don't go away mad. Do some research before you start asking the value of flat head parts. e.g. a 4" stroke Merc is starting to become "gold."...
Sorry to be mean. But with the info you have provided; you might as well have asked, "How high is up?"
I don't know if Ford Canada ever made an ALUMINUM version of the Merc 4 barrel intake. As far as I can find out they didn't. The three Merc 4...
Can anyone confirm the rumor that Shell is eliminating - or already has - the ZINC additive from their Rotella oil??
Canada used aluminum for a lot of their intake manifolds; but not all. The original Canadian Merc 4 barrel intake was one example of cast iron....
Check with a NAPA store. Look under TRUCK TIE ROD ENDS
Way back when ... Ford had a lot of people nervous about this "spindly" looking front axle. (seems things haven't changed much ! :D ) So to...
porknbeaner is absolutely right!! 67 year old - original - wiring is a fire waiting to happen. The original wire was insulated with a RUBBER...
This has been an interesting thread! The beam axles used under cars and trucks - from the 1900's up to today; and that includes aftermarket - are...
Well ... it's me. Still feeling like I've been run through a set of forming dies backwards. I hate hospitals. Even though they "kicked" me out...
BUT!! Think, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Hitting vehicles hidden from view are prime targets!! Locking cap or no! My truck was behind the...
