1952-59 Ford Picked up a set of Barkers for my 53 thanks to JeffB2

Jeff sent me a message to let me know that there were two sets being sold in the cl***ifieds on the main board. Thankfully the guy had two and still had one set available. I paid for them today. I was going to wait to post until I actually got them but I'm excited and wanted to tell everybody!

Huge thanks to JeffB2 for always being on the lookout for parts and p***ing the info onto us.

I'll post some pictures when they come in next week.

 

Ok... I'm dumb.... what are Barkers? How do I know that I have a set of them? Do I need them for my 53?????

 

Well geno - you're not the only one who doesn't know! I don't know either, at least not by that name.

 

This is a barker. Everybody needs at least one. A pair is even better.

 

shoot....I got one of those....and didn't even have to bid on eBay for it.

It just wandered up to my house.

 

Nailhead,don't tell what they are, this is too much fun letting them guess.And going to google is cheatin' So keep guessing till you see the pics!

 

I think there HORNS!!

 

Haha....this is a fun game!

They're not horns, although I do need some of them for my 53. They should be here by Tuesday so keep guessing til then.

 

In the motorcycle world, barkers are a type of exhaust/muffler

 

Not sure if it's the same company (but probably not); at any rate, it's not (technically) an exhaust part.

 

I know what they are ... cuz I picked up the other set! ;-)

 

Ok Craig....no giving it away. We'll have to talk about our plans for these and the part of the car they go with.

 

Well now... I have two of them that weigh over 100 pounds each, should I evenly distribute them? Should I front to back bias them? Left to right? Both are naturally aspirated. single exhaust and have great traction. What should I ask for them on EBAY?
