Thanks for the help fellas. You got me moving in the right direction.
Need to order a pulley or two for my engine along with a belt. Are the 153s same as the sixes or sbc for pulleys and belts? I’m not running...
These are spoken for. I’ll take the listing down after they’re gone. I believe I got these with a 40 ford. Not sure for certain or if they’d fit...
Sold.
Weekend 3 of putting stuff together. Not bad. Waiting on some 32 spindles to come in the mail. Plan is to chop it about 5” [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Decent day. Got the engine and trans together and in the frame. Bolted the intake and carbs on cause I couldn’t help myself. [ATTACH]
Thanks guys
In my mind, I’m thinking 32 spring perches with an extension bolted and welded. We’ll see once I get all the parts.
Got it….And hopefully last question I assume the fork should be contacting hub on the flat area and I either have mix matched parts or I’ll need...
I feel stupid that it was on backwards. I really need to get some manuals. Thanks for the help.
Little late, but checkin in. Started throwing a car together after too much other stuff has gotten in the way. A frame stepped in the rear, T...
Do I have the wrong one? Or is there a mix/matched part here? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
If you can weld, it wouldn’t be too hard to make a custom length/shape throttle arm like the one you posted....
Question for people smarter than me.. What is this opening in the Snyders 5.5 head? Also, why do they recommend the B gasket on the A? As far as I...
Not really what I wanted to hear, but looks like I’ll need to consider my options. Thanks for the help.
I have one of Jim’s heads as well and the gasket fits much better on that head. Fits the block perfectly. Thinking the piston relief is slightly...
Would you say using a copper gasket and trimming would be my only option here? Doesn’t look like my graphite one is going to work. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Thanks for the help [ATTACH]
Could someone help me choose spark plugs for this head? Should be 6.8 +/- compression made by Specialty Ford Parts. I believe 14mm. [ATTACH]
Working on a new project until the engine is rebuilt for my coupe. Traded for this phaeton. Only needs some fine tuning with the springs, add some...
I’ve been asking stupid questions for almost 20 years on this forum. Don’t ever feel bad.
Bump make me an offer. Trade?
Sale Pending Check the pics. I think the chop is a bit aggressive for this car. But could work for someone else. Whoever modified did a good...
I recently acquired a 40 Ford Tudor. I have some plans for suspension and cleaning up the rust on the body. It’s a pretty clean car. I’m...
Bump
There was a guy at Hershey in the chocolate field with a set of Size As including the adapter. He wanted $2000. I have his info if anyone is...
Lowered price to $4000. I can add some other pieces depending on what you’re trying to build. Front axle with spring and wishbone, rear with...
Mac- thanks for the opportunity. I had to leave a bit early Thursday because of some work obligations, but the class was awesome. You’re too...
Checking in. No progress. Saving money for my engine rebuild. I did get a new cam from Jim Brierley though. [ATTACH]
Checking in Slowly working on things. Off to the machine shop for some new bearings, being told it’s a couple months wait. Oh well. Anyone know if...
