Considering that these once ubiquitous engines are now anything but, I would look for a flathead expert/specialist who has the tribal knowledge...
Warning! You can't unsee it. [IMG]
Wescott was wrapping up their operation a couple months ago. I don't know if anything is still available.
Well, If they moved to California in '53 and Bob died in 2009, the club you're looking for is probably in the bay area.
I agree that the chance of three consecutive runs being exactly equal is about zero. The plot thickens.
Are you swapping it because of the high idle?
I have to agree that there is a problem here that should be corrected before power steering is added to the equation. After all the geometry and...

You may or may not; hard to predict. It's cheap and easy to install during a build and will be there if you need it.
Every opinion on this subject is biased.
Not really practical. Electric resistance heaters use a lot of power, probably more than your truck's electrical system can generate. The standard...
Roll the car over and pour it in the drain hole.
Looks like the discs bolt to the back of the hubs, not to wheel/stud face. Wheel to kingpin spacing appears to be in the same ballpark as most others.
Almost as scary as the pics of my chop (the avatar '33). The difference is you knew what you were doing; I had to make it up as I went along.
Before modern electronics made VFDs practical and popular, a rotary phase converter was typically used when 3 phase was needed in a location where...
Glass beading will leave a surface that does not look original and is very hard to keep clean. Vapor blasting, if you can find someone who does...
I'd want to buy all of that.
That body looks to me like it's going to need a lot of ironing out before even thinking about paint. If you do a quality paint job, you will want...
If it's your only car and you have to drive it to work every day fenders will be appreciated. If it's "fun/hobby" ride you'll be inclined to drive...
If you install a larger bore MC it will shorten the pedal throw and increase the effort, which effectively decreases the boost.
Unchopped '33 5W garnish set (5 pcs.). No rust, dents, or scratches. I chopped my car but didn't have the heart to cut these. $3500 carefully...
Is it using brake fluid? If the MC leaks into the booster the booster diaphragm can fail resulting in a vacuum leak (poor running) and white smoke.
I guess the uglier it is the more it's worth.
Slightly lengthened wheelbase is OK, but (just my opinion) I don't think any of these old Fords look right unless the grille is in the stock...
Regarding your assessment of Fedex; it's the same here in the US. As far as we know, the only requirement for employment at Fedex is the inability...
Gotta love the footsteps so you can climb over the non-doors.
After inflation a dollar today is worth almost exactly 1/10th of it's value in 1960. Multiply those prices by 10 to get a better idea. Some of...
Looks to me like they would fit on something a lot smaller than a steering wheel. Show us a pic of the back side.
I'd put this off 'til you can mock it up enough to sit in it. Then you can decide if you like the wheel where it is and get a longer tube, or...
If you can't find one, there is an alternative solution that may (or may not) work. If there is room for a fan in the stock location you could...
