Glad to help! Haha!
Looks like a normal '28-'29 Ford model A transmission to me.
Things are definitely changing, no doubt about that. I'll keep my comments on that to myself though. Personally, I had my best Hershey ever...
Choke horn sizes are as follows: A throttle body = A choke horn AA or B throttle body = B choke horn BB or C throttle body = C choke horn CC or D...
I'd guess 1968-69 Big Block Mopar.

The United Pacific replacement floor is spot-on as far as matching the original floor pan.
@RaceFink Based on the somewhat limited information I can find the Minerva AL was a dual plug straight eight, and used a Scintilla BN8 mag, so...
Can't find a picture of the Minerva AL to confirm, still think it's quite probable, but I did find a picture of the Type 49 Bugatti, and it looks...
I'm guessing Minerva AL.
Does anybody know if any of the spring suppliers mentioned here can do tapered leaves?
Since @brett4christ posted the only flathead Ford V8 ignition, I'll add a few of those and some others. Lincoln V12 converted to V8 by Bill...
Nope! In fact, the headrest tail on the museum car was first put on the frame I have!
Well, things do tend to get muddy dealing with old race cars, though this particular car is a bit more straightforward than most! Between major...
Bob, Emory never tried for Indy, said that racing is what put food on the table and taking time off from the IMCA circuit, his bread and butter,...
Bob, here's a quick recap on the timeline of the car. No idea if the either of the first 3 noses still exist. I'm assuming they're long gone, but...
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I'm not sure it would help. It might just annoy them, and I don't want to do that either. They were incredibly...
They asked if I'd be interested in donating them, and I get that, but they have no desire or ability to put a car together, and that in my opinion...
Thanks! Lmao, thanks! The museum folks I dealt with were super nice, they basically left me alone with the car for 2 days. Nope, just said...
Dave! You've nailed it perfectly here. I submitted a proposal to the museum with what I felt was a good offer to buy the tail. The museum board...
Lucius, The hydrogen embrittlement topic was discussed back on page 1. These things weren't show cars by any means, and took a hell of a beating...
My mind was blown as well, believe me! This whole adventure has been one surprise after another, from the day the frame arrived. As I and others...
Figured I'd drop in here and give a small update. So, I went out to the Plymouth County museum in LeMars Iowa earlier this year to study the...
@34 GAZ That's just a cut down model A brake drum. I'm not running front brakes on the car, it's not street legal, so I cut them down to the...
Here's a few that were fairly easily accessible, there's more that I'll try to get pics of next time I'm near them. The nicest looking pair of...
Car at right is Ralph Morgan's Dreyer-built Frontenac-powered car with Harry McQuinn at the wheel. This car went on to become the Morgan Miller...
I'm sure a lot of y'all know the stuff I'm posting, but for those that don't... Sig Haugdahl and his 'Wisconsin Special' car, perhaps at Daytona...
Sullivan & O'Brien Special #47 in 1937, owned by Shorty Cantlon. That's Harry McQuinn at left, who drove the car in the '37 Indy 500. Not sure who...
Hal Robson at Southern Ascot, I believe. Some time between 1937 and 1942, as that's when that particular track was in operation. [ATTACH]
@Jeff Norwell That's the Mitte Brothers Special built in Detroit around 1940. Fairly certain that's in its early years, with the front leaf...
