The gear ratios are the same, at least on everything I've been reading today about the T150. My current setup uses the (I think) Jeep shifter...
Deucemac, Any chance you can get some photos? Car-Part shows a couple for sale not too far away but their description just says "9 bolt cover,...
Open driveline- going to a Dana41 with 4.27 gears… I have never heard of that T150/Laycock OD before. I will add this to my list. Same ratios...
I have a few threads trying to get dropping my RPMs figured out and had all but dismissed the Gear Vendors options because their website wasn't...
Thanks Jason...How did you know that your "welded tubing stack" was the same as your spring? Measurements while the spring had body weight on it?...
Gimpy- thanks for the offer. That's generous- I think I found a local guy...I also have a tiny garage that would be MISERABLE to work in... I...
I was thinking that- put them side by side. I really don’t have the faith in my measuring or fabrication skills…I can stick metal together bit it...
The thread total is so long, it probably says it all. Recently I weighed my options and talk to some people about how to get the RPMs down in my...
I talked to Chuck today down in Hamden and he seems like he knows what he's doing. Seems like a real good guy. I ran him through the scenarios...
I would absolutely love a T85/od combo. I have a link on my laptop for a place that sells gears for the Dana 41. I’m wondering if it’s Randy.
I've been on the fence for a while about doing SOMETHING to the Model A concerning the gearing. It's a late 50's Y block with a 60's 3-speed...
That makes sense...when I wasn't sure if it was the starter or the relay, by buddy found one of the Powermaster units on Speedway and kept asking...
I’m not too worried about putting that back together correctly, the relay I have is labeled S, and I for the small terminals. I was mostly worried...
The starter relay crapped out on my Model A (with 1959 Y block). It currently has a 4 terminal Ford style relay so, naturally I want to swap in a...
Thanks! I had little to do with the aesthetics of this car - just painted the hood (poorly at that).
Thanks! 3 inches it is.
It's probably on here 1000 times but it didn't pop up in the search... I'm trying to figure out how much my '30 Model A Coupe has been chopped....
I agree- got it all back together today with appropriate fuses where they should be. I ran my new Echlin switch for about 30 -60 seconds and...
I think mine are like that- no front parking lights with headlights on. So- my plan is to fuse that 12v feed that should be fused for park, dash,...
I found what will be a spare headlight switch today- or a sacrificial one- and Echlin from NAPA this time, but an NOS switch from the late 60s is...
I think you’re right- a broken toggle- I DID have a problem with it nit running recently but didn’t find any toggle pieces on the floor so it’s...
If you look at the hole drilled in the silver mounting frame, it lines up with the hole in this “thing.”
I will grab an in-line fuse for 20 A and try a 10 amp fuse first. This morning I just started connected wire by wire until I found out which one...
It sounds like that ground pin is only for a dome light, which I do not have. My plan is to either find a circuit breaker (which I didn't even...
I was thinking there wouldn’t be any connection at all to ground. I will start chasing bulbs…tomorrow. Thanks
On a whim I just checked for continuity with the body i.e. ground, and every other wire going to that headlight switch. Every other wire except...
Shift Wizard- this is the first switch- that I replaced a week ago and came with the car… Terminals look ok but the rest burned up. I caught this...
There was no fuse there, which I found odd. How many amps should that fuse be? 10? It still seems (to me) like the problem is with the lights....
But is it supposed to ground through the one wire going to the light? Seems like it should ground through the gauge or gauge bracket- not the...
Bjr- you mean the wire where I circled? That is the ign to tachometer and the photo is an optical illusion- the wire is in good shape and it...
