Just got it running. It is mostly all 1932, though the flathead is a 59A block. So.... Anyone know how many gallons of coolant will fill the 1932 Radiator and the 59A block? And I cannot seen to locate a petcock on the radiator anywhere to drain the current "water only" fill. Weird. Anyone know the proper adjustment for the 1932 Clutch? Stock 1932 3-speed trans and stock 1932 pedals. I think I have it right, just want to make sure. Anyone know the amount of oil pressure that comes out of the 59A? And what the right size oil pressure line out of the block should be? I have a larger diameter line running to my 1930 Essex oil pressure gauge, but not certain if it matters at all. Anyone ever have an issue of the starter motor bendix not staying in its return spot once the motor is running? In other words...my bendix seems to float forward and clang slightly against the flywheel when running. Do I need to oil the splines the bendix rides forward and back on? Thanks!!
If you cant wait for someone to chime in here try posting on the Ford Barn if you havent already. Great place for original cars and PLEASE post a pic
Have you taken the starter out to see what the Bendix spring looks like? They can twist up like a pretzel.
