how do you get it under the inlet manifold to check for a valley leak? Smoke would come out the valve cover breather/pcv holes if there was a...
This weekend I will hook up the vacuum gauge and get some readings. I have been reading about smoking the engine as in blowing smoke into the...
No I have not got a fuel pressure reading. I might set up an electric pump to test it out.
Thanks for the reply I have all the vacuum lines removed and capped/plugged all the ports
Thanks for the reply. I will use that chart and do a vacuum test next time it’s running It has dual exhaust. 2” stainless no crossover
I think my next move is take off the inlet manifold and put it back on to make sure it’s sealed properly. edit to add: so I was at the parts...
Still working on this problem. Replaced carburetor Replaced distributor with 80’s electronic Replaced coil and plug wires Replaced starter...
This is an excellent idea “ Small Block Chevy rocker balls as intake exhaust clamps” It looks tidy like it’s supposed to be that way
These are still on my shelf. Make an offer. Make them yours
I am not understanding what you are doing. You are using my picture of my cast hinge to show that @Bandit Billy also has a cast hinge?
You replied to the question that was in response to bandit Billy’s post with the picture of his chrome hinge
How can you tell from just the picture? The chrome is hiding the contours so it’s hard to tell.
I have sent them an email enquiry but it’s not looking good. They have no truck parts on their website only pickup parts.
Is your hinge stamped / folded metal or cast?
Yeah I did that and was suggested to post on the hamb that has a more diverse range of builders. Just went there to find it and post a link here...
here are some pictures I found on the internet. My truck is a 39 1 ton that started out as a cab chassis I managed to find a bed for a 1940 I ton...
I am back to working on this trying to get the tailgate working. It’s an original ford 1940 1 ton express bed. Only has the original holes for the...

I have a t-170 with an adapter and early flathead bellhousing/clutch fork. T-170 will need a rebuild. It was 4x4 and I pulled it down and started...
that was sort of the plan before it broke. I still need to straighten it before it’s welded but it’s spring steel and I don’t have any heating...
Bumper should only have 3 holes 1 each side and 1 in the center the other 2 I want to fill in
Tried that. Only ones I found were as bad as the one I have or car bumper where the holes are in a different position I will post some pictures...
It’s a beater. It’s the truck in my avatar. Just trying to make it complete and drivable. At best it will be silver paint and clear coat
I need to get my bumper straightened and welded for my 39 ford truck. The bumper was bent near the end on the passenger side so I put it in the 6...
I think I answered my own question. I will put the return style fuel pressure regulator back in and feed that to a 1-8 pound non return regulator...
What pressure regulator are you guys using. I have a EFI return style regulator that goes down to 30. I had it installed but removed it yesterday....
I built my fuel system to run EFI with a pump in the tank but now I am going to run a carburetor for a few years. Do I have to take the pump out...
1951 ford F1 with 350 chevy and a toploader. Short pipes no mufflers yet. So not exactly “finnished”. Had a few short drives and all seemed good....
My doors are in the far end of the storage trailer. If the weather is good this weekend I will pull out the fenders and hood etc. and get a door...
No pictures. My doors are the same as the red door.
