Yeah, that was from some owners putting the car into park before it was fully stopped, or if parked on an incline without the parking brake set...
The one peculiarity with the Cruiseomatics were their weird D2 D1 Lo shift pattern. D2 starts in 2nd gear rather than 1st then shifts to high. D1...
'tis a beauty!
I smell BS.... The conical lug nut answer I expected. Shank-style nuts have been gone for 20+ years with a few exceptions, primarily cast...
If we're not careful, between AI and Bitcoin we'll end up burning wood for heat and candles for light. If AI takes over the world, it won't be a...
Well, this has a blown Ford SOHC under a full hood... 1926 Ford Pickup: You Find 427 SOHC Ford Motors in the Most Unlikely Places
I'll agree with Lostone, it's far more likely that it's a tire problem rather than a wheel problem. It appears you may have a set of Coker...
Man, there's something for almost everyone! The two that caught my eye (not that I can afford either one) is the '40 Ford Formal limo (only known...
Sorry the car's new custodian was a moron, but I've seen this show before. I had a friend who owned a really nice '56 Chev post car with a L88/4...
Don't feel like the lone ranger, I share your opinion. I guess most guys missed the CUSTOM heading of this thread...o_O I think this would a be a...
Yeah, that is the question. And they were apparently fine when bolted to the drum brakes. FWIW, I have an older set of TTs like the OP and my stud...
Possible mis-drilled spacer, but again, easy to check. Trying it on the other side may tell the tale. I've used spacers a number of times with no...
True story, BTDT. Back in the late '60s when I was still working as an auto mechanic, we had a customer who had special-ordered two IH pickups. He...
Looking closely at your pics, it looks to me like the wheel bolt pattern on the rotor hub is slightly mis-drilled judging how the wheel studs...
One thing that should be noted is the various Duraspark boxes don't all wire the same and/or use the same coil.
There are these for sale in the classifieds, although there's multiple diameters and bolt patterns. There's a couple more also for sale in another...
Yeah, that extended time leaning over motor doing points gets increasingly difficult (particularly with a bad back) as you get older... For a lot...
This is the answer.... Buy a new cap, weld or braze the center to the outer part, then drill out the center. Weld your extension on the top....
I like the Duraspark distributor, the modules not so much. No HEI for me though, that's a sideways move IMO, I use an MSD box for better ignition...
Don't believe everything you read... ;) He doesn't stock anything, but if you contact him he'll build them for you. It said the same thing when I...
Wheel Vintiques is the ONLY new wheel company making non-smoothie '50s/60s style steel wheels currently, but don't offer a chrome version in 14"...
I'm planning on a 'full custom' interior circa early '60s, so white pearl vinyl and chrome will be dominant.
The problems with that is the cover won't stay on without the thickness of the material, plus most are either zinc or cad plated with no polish....
Winner! Took looking through many pages, but I think I found something that will work and at only $.75 each. I'll get more particulars before I...
That was a factory option. First introduced in '54, the Skyliner plexiglass insert quickly gained a reputation for broiling the inhabitants of the...
View attachment 6426991 View attachment 6426992 View attachment 6426993 I stole these pics off the 'Plush and Padded' thread. I found several...
Anybody know of a source for these chrome buttons or something similar that won't break the bank? I've found some, but at $8-10 each it would get...
If using a generator, an ammeter is the correct choice for monitoring charging system operation and a #10 wire will be adequate. If you're using...
No help here, but I'll be interested in any replies... It's doable, but the cost is increased pedal travel. Will you have enough?
Save your money, those are terrible mirrors. My avatar had a set when I got it, couldn't wait to get rid of them. You as driver can't even see the...
