Hi everyone I haven't posted in a while, I'm still not used to the site redesign. I'm looking for a restoration or body shop in the San Francisco...
I like it too, got my girlfriend to help me out in my 53! Keep us posted V8Vixen!
Here is my 53 Victoria project. Even my 2 yr old is in on it!
Would it make sense to use the stock guage on one side and the new one on the other?
I need to order a water temp sensor for late flathead. Is it 1/8 thread? I've searched, a lot. I'd take the cylinder head to the hardware store...
Thanks for the replies guys I'll keep my eyes peeled for a EAB head.
BTW the Merc heads are 8CM stamped from a 53.

Damn those kits start at $20 and everything else looks to be in good shape! Oh well off to the parts store. Thanks!
I was in the process of replacing the wheel cylinder and noticed a spring had rusted and broken in two parts. I can't seem to find it in autozone,...
Well ended up being the sway bar. This is one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. Thanks Jamco!
I'm replacing the stock one since it broke. I have a stock 53 Ford. Nothing seems to fit right. The bolts provided don't fit the brackets, the...

HOLY SHIT! Looking at my last post I realized I had two wires hooked up backwards! ST from ignition switch goes to S post, and ACC on switch went...
This is how its connected: Ignition Switch Starter Relay IGN <--------------------------> S post on relay BAT...
It has new starter relay, battery and wiring harness.
How can I test to see if it is the solenoid? As soon as I turn it off it disengages.
