Thanks for the tip!
I picked up a Snap-on Timing advance meter at a swap meet thinking I would get the instructions on line. NOTHING comes up. Any one help out here?...
I know new ones are available. They would be the only new part on the truck. I want used ones.

My 52 F1 came with only one running board and I have not been able to track the drivers side down as yet. I don't want new, the truck is 65 years...
I owned a 61 Special a million years ago. It had the 215 V8, Rochester 2GC. I had a similar problem. Turned out to be a bad coil. Seems the oil in...

I don't have the distributor in hand, it is on it's way. Should have it this week. I will have to compare shaft lengths and see what I need to do.
I have just aquired a Mallory 275E YC distributor for my 51 8BA flathead I will run in my 33 Truck. The engine has twin 94's hence the mechanical...
Anyone have a picture of the "Z" piece that goes next to the cab on a 52 F1, under the bed? I need to make one and don't have a pattern. Thanks!
I realize LED's are not a straight change out. Looking for advice here. I plant to keep the truck as original as is practical, hence 6v generator....
Thanks for this but I have not purchased any bulbs as yet. Seems the LED's on Ebay say 6-36V. I expect this would work with the polarity fix.
Anybody have thoughts on 6 volt headlamps? I am at the wiring stage on my 52 F1, it is still 6v positive ground. I like the low current draw of...
Very nice!!
Thanks! Perfect, this is quite different than the 51 drawing I have! Gord
Anyone have a wiring diagram for this unit? (self cancelling turn signal) It came in my 52 F1 which is still 6v + ground. Wiring is a mess, trying...
My wife has informed me that my 52 F1 project is now hers. Good in some ways, licence to spend money!! Deal is I get her a bench seat with...
No, it's for the 52. Convenience really. Somebody makes one, I need the part number. I used a Maverick MC on the 61 with the ports facing the...
Anyone have an application part number for a 4 port master for 4 wheel drum brakes? I know Speedway has one but with duty, courier, exchange and...
Flathead Fords and my 351 Cleveland!! Sent from my SM-G925W8 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Looking for some advice here. I now own a 52 F1, unmolested. Engine runs, well, after a stuck valve problem. It sat for 30 years and I had to pull...
I started out with a toploader in my Falcon behind the Cleveland but 3000 rpm at 60 was a bit much. T5 now and 2200 rpm. Buildind a 52 F1 and just...
How can anyone that "hasn't been in 2 years" even comment??? I go the Ford day and always find something I need. It's a swap meet! You never know...
I am mocking up my build and realize I need the 49 Truck water pumps to align with the frame I am using. Since these pumps use the wide belt, I am...
No, it's 4 core!
Ok, thanks for the tip. I also have a recored rad from a sbc that is good size wise, just need to report it. Would this be ample? It's a 3 core.
You mean like one from an 8N?
Need some advice. I am putting a 51 Flattie in a 36 frame and want to cover it with a 33 Truck grill. Grill is 19" wide. I can fudge the rest....
