No lights on car yet it's been built up from parts, I guess it's take it off and look for a stamping... Two steps forward and three steps back....
I have been chipping away at my long term hotrod project and am starting to wire it. It's set up for 12 volts but the generator I have came off...
I did send an e-mail to Iron Trap and got a very prompt response. They advise this manifold is set up to run the two carbs in unison as others...
They appear identical from the outside. I've run it for 20 minutes to break in the cam about 2,000 rpm.
Hello Been toiling away on my hot rod project and finally got to the point of running in the cam. I'm a little confused about my carburetor set...
Thanks gents! Looks like the straight inlet will help some and as Nailhead indicates looks like I will have to grind on the spindle anyway.
I am making some progress on my hot rod project and need a little help on brakes. I am running a '32 Ford frame (reproduction) with '37 Ford...
I am toiling away on my project of mating a '31 Model A pick up cab to a '32 Ford frame. I was not planning on running a hood but figured I would...
Thanks 19fordy, nylon sounds like a good way to go. I live in a small town and the NAPA is not very well stocked, will probably have to order on...
Dave Tatom was the guy who rebuilt them, probably among the last things he did before he became I'll and then passed away.
Do you by chance recall where you obtained said plugs? I am running dual carbs on a mildly hopped up motor with a Bubbas hot rod distributor so...
Working on assembling my 8BA motor. I have the rebuilt (by a professional) carbs on the manifold (carbs also marked 8BA) and noticed there is a...
It's an idea, I have the engine mounted in the chassis already but it's not an irreversible situation. I am going to have to go stare at it for...
I don't think I could get a tapered plug in there, the hole it would have to go through would not accommodate anything larger than 27/64" which is...
OK fair enough, I will just move forward with the bypass setup and be done with it. I saw reference to the need to add a restrictor in line...
JB Weld too risky you think? If so then back to the bypass set up it is. Sure wish I would have investigated this here before putting the motor...
I don't think I explained myself correctly or perhaps I am not understanding the modification for the 95% filtering properly? According to the...
The plot thickens... The drilled hole in the back of the block is 5/8" 18 which should be okay. The original holes on the boss are 3/8" NPT but...
Thanks Joel! I think I am equipped with enough information to get this all sorted out now.
OK, good baseline info to have I will see if I can upsize the fittings to 1/2".
I just noticed you are in Bellingham, WA! I lived in Ferndale for 18 years until moving down to TX 2 years ago.
Was hoping I could use this set up as I already have it but I think the fittings may be too small compared to the set up that Joel is using. Not...
I think I have a fairly good grasp of the differences here now, will verify the items noted to confirm its all set up for 95% filtering.
Seems pretty straightforward, do you happen to know the manufacturer and/or part number of your spin on oil filter adapter? I think I was...
I will investigate further, the holes on the back of the block do appear to be enlarged as outlined in the article cited. Not sure if there is a...
Or, would there be harm in using the 95% set up if there was not a high volume oil pump installed? As long as the routing to the filter is...
Now I find myself leaning towards the no filter school of thought. As indicated, the motor is mostly assembled now so it appears the engine would...
Okay, will have to search up the details on that too.
Unfortunately, I do not know. Dave never mentioned anything about the modifications to me. The machine shop that did the final work on the block...
I have search the threads concerning oil filters on a Ford flathead V8. I have an 8BA flathead mostly assembled and was going to use a bypass...
