One line, teed up by the crossmember, is fine.
What's the frame rail spacing?
Measure the distance between the centers of the frame rails. Take that measurement to the local self service yard. Universal end links are easy....
With the drill running, bridge the battery+ and S terminals on the solenoid. Bump the engine to turn it a little. Run the drill more. Repeat as...
The tension present in the system when the shackles are not slack is what keeps the front axle centered. Ford did move to slack shackles in later...
Just double check the diameter. Some weird variants had 15-inch wheels!
The tail lights are Ford Model A aftermarket.
GM sized rotors for that hat pattern, Cadillac Eldorado calipers, and generic brackets.
I bet! I had chest pains for a few hours after taking a hit from the CD box, so I cannot imagine a mag.
Also, you get to decide if these are forward, or reverse offset, and what the final offset is. The ones that I pictured are reversed, with the...
If you have a welder, a dial indicator, and some patience, you can make your own 16" x 6-1/2" wide Wide-5 wheels, using the original Ford centers,...
Yes, get both. GN hubs can be had in 5-on-4-3/4", and stepped studs can get you from 5/8" to 1/2". Doing that gets you into WAY more wheel choices.
By that point, at least, life had been good to him.
I have Autolites in my Falcon and Champions in the blown Hemi. Both are driven by computer controlled CD boxes, so it probably doesn't matter...
I was there then too!
And those 5/8" holes are made for 45° cone lug nuts, not the more common 60° lug nuts found on street vehicles.
They aren't interchangeable, and one is a registered trademark.
The Mercedes logo is not the peace symbol. The three spokes of the Mercedes logo symbolize transportation superiority, land, sea, and air. The...
There should be a sticker on the top cover, and a metal tag under one of the bolts for the tail housing. That will have the code on it that will...
What's the caster angle?
Only if it is a WC S10 T5. The last generation of that platform, with a T5, had electronic speedometer senders, and a 4.03 first gear. A few...
Which WC T5? What is it out of, or what is the tag number.
Physics and statistics are technical.
Someone else's truth could very well be their died experience. The Laws of Physics do not care about anyone's experiences. Neither do...
I am experiencing that, too. Something changed, or age/wear is taking its toll. AK steel seems easier to form still, but I have to order it.
You are correct.
If you sand down your 18ga panels before you spray primer, or apply filler, you made your own 19ga.
*Crash safety regulations. Vehicle envelope changes for aerodynamics necessitates moving the spine and head.
Those shackles are too long for the spring. With the front suspension bearing full weight, the angle between the shackles and vertical should not...
All of the data is incontrovertible, no matter how much opinion, conjecture, speculation, or feelings anyone throws at it. Everyone is entitled...
