Have a toggle switch on my dash with a host of other switches that's marked WTF if it's not on you ain't going no where. Have other theft...
Yes, you would be correct. Wire it according to your diagram and you should be just fine. Check to make sure the fuse is big enough to handle the...
I have one identical to this one but it is missing the part for the defroster ducts, believe it or not the motor works and the core doesn't leak....
Go with the blackwalls, whitewalls suck!
If runs fine where it is and you don't have any heating issues or pre-ignition than leave it alone. Flatheads tend to run hot because the timing...
Okay I'll bite. Why????
I'd go with the gasser route but that's just me as I love the look. I have 2 1952 Ford F-1 pickups, one was my grandfathers and is relatively...
Sounds like it could be crap in the tank that is gathering around the pickup tube causing lots of problems. I had a similar situation with an El...
The problem is with the 8 volt battery, take it out and go back to the 6 volt battery. I too have a 52 F-1 that still has the 6 volt system and...
Just for correction purposes the 48 through 52 F-1 trucks were all open drive shaft and did not have a torque tube so you don't have to "adapt" it...
My friends and I will be there just Saturday only because were old and stay out and party like we used to! Our entry numbers go from #28 to #34 I...
Worst case scenario is you'll have to carefully drill it out to remove the actual parts (don't know what the technical name of these parts are...
The front axle looks to be 46 to 48 Ford because of the spring in front of the axle and the square back spindles. Great find and hope you can do...
I put a 350/350 combo in my other 52 F-1 utilizing a front saddle mount from Speedway that uses the existing flathead motor mounts. For the...
I'm using a radiator out of a forklift and heavy duty enough for a flathead V-8. I believe it's out of a Hyster forklift but what model I haven't...
Looks very nice and clean, great job! I just bought a 52 F-1 for $150.00 and plans are to make a gasser out of it. I'll likely put my roadster...
Acetone works very well in dissolving old lacquered gas. I used it in my wife's Mustang that had been sitting for six years with no cap on it, the...
I thank all you gentlemen for your input and especially ALBUQF-1 for the part numbers. My flathead runs so darn perfect right now I just don't...
Before everyone gets their panties in a wad I already checked all the tech posts and other posts on this subject but it didn't answer my question....
Thanks guys, great show! It's always much better than some of the cars shows I've been to with those high dollar trailer queens! Look forward to...
I've installed 5 sets of Pertronix in some of my customers cars and even in a couple of boats. My customers love it when it there engine fires the...
It sort of looks like a modernized version of a 50 Merc which of course looks cool. It certainly looks better than 98% of the crappy shitbox cars...
The 32-36(?) wishbones are 2 inches at the wishbone boss while the Model A and 38-48 axles are 2-1/4 inches at the boss. I found this out when I...
Try Eastwood, they have a product out that's called I believe Crystal Clear, or Diamond Clear that is supposed to impervious to gas and oil. I...
Yes, you can but be sure to use the correct ballast resister in the system. Check the tech threads on this forum under ballast resister and you...
Thanks guys for all the input it is appreciated. To answer your question as to why I don't dive, I'd like to and I've done a shallow introductory...
Thanks guys I appreciate the info and I'll check it out. I've been past the Maui dragstrip many times but never saw any activity. During one of...
My wife and I are preparing to leave on vacation to Maui this Friday and wanted to know if there are HAMB members on Maui. My wife's an avid diver...
The Ford passing cars might have a smaller diameter spline but the Ford trucks have the same as the 48. I have a 52 F-1 basically almost original...
