Afternoon gang, Let me riddle you with a few charging questions to see if I’m doing this right. It’s on a custom car and here’s the parts I’m...
"The way you described in your first post should work fine...I don't see any reason to make it more complicated." .....Exactly what I wanted to...
Good idea! So my basic wiring is correct, but you’d add a IGN triggered relay for the power rather than the straight BAT lead. Understood....
Hey gang, Just want to get some clarification I'm going to wire a starter button correctly. I have seen the various threads on this, but just...
So, exactly like adam401 said. My father-in law bought the car and honestly, we don’t know if he even drove it before buying it. He’s not the...
Ok, got it all. Thank you guys! I’ll get it here then post up what I find. Yeah, starting over for him isn’t an option, so I’ll make it right...
Excellent. Thanks for that! He’s delaying getting it up here due to me trying to finish up a 62 Corvette for a lady, and I don’t want it sitting...
It’s apart in someone’s shop he took it to in hopes of having it fixed, but he couldn’t figure it out. It’s back together at my Father-In-Law’s...
Wow, great Intel men! I'll look into that Mustang box thread. We'll get this worked out for him. I hate that he finally bought something he's...
[ATTACH] Thanks guys. Yeah, my father-in-law bought this already built then took it to a shop to have a few things fixed. I knew right away...
Great advice guys, thank you. I’ll search out the parts and get them ordered. Thank you and I’ll keep you guys updated once I can get down there...

Tentative pickup today!
Hey guys, Donating this flathead to anyone that wants it locally. No shipping. It's a 53 from an F1, no valve relief cracks, two water jacket...
Excellent work! Exactly what I’d like to do! I’ll be following along too..... cheers
That’s a great thread, thanks for posting it. It looks like it’s debatable whether it’s fixable or not depending on how bad. I’ll drop the block...
Tore it down, and two of the water jackets to head bolt holes have those cracks. Valve seats to cylinders don't have any, but I do have the pan...
Thanks, John! Chat soon. Dave
Found a few pics of the engine, so the intake has both 8BA and 8RT and has the green paint on it. So looks like it’s the original 52 Truck...
Ok, great. Thanks guys. I’ll be diving into it this week and will post up what I find. Like I said, I know the intake had 8BA on it but the...
Hey Gang, I redid a 1952 Ford F1 for a guy, and he didn’t want the flathead so I placed it on a stand in the corner of the shop after I pulled...
Selling my freshly restored 1949 Chevy 3100. I converted it over to a V8, automatic, with an open driveline. 350/700R4 combo. Disk brakes up...
Please delete this thread. Thanks HAMB!
VERY solid, no rot through anywhere! Amazing for such an older truck. It's such a blast to drive!!!! It's been a farm truck out in Colorado and...
OK, thanks guys. It's worth a little more than I thought. Won't see the car again until the new year (that first week) so I'll post up then....
Wow, really? I was thinking lower. Maybe I'm delusional! I've looked the car over a few weeks ago and took it for a little spin. No rust. If...
