Event Coverage North Westers: Monroe, Oct. 8th what are you looking for?

Seems like a good idea, PNW Hambers, what are the main parts are you seeking at Monroe? I'll start it off.

Pair of 100-101 King Bee headlight buckets
Hurst shift rods, #2138 and #2139
Nice '26/'27 T grill shell
pair of 15"x5 or 15X6, 5 on 4 3/4 chevy steel rims
Stewart Warner 2 5/8 deluxe Green stripes, fuel level gauge, Water temp and oil pressure
351C roller rockers and guide plates
Bottom of an Ansen cast chevy scattershield
Ford Falcon/Comet T-10 trans
Stewart Warner 240A electric fuel pump
15x6 with 2"-2.5" backspace tork thrust or lookalikes, I will drill my hubs to suit whatever bolt pattern

If you have any of this stuff and are going to Monroe, let me know. I figure if we post lists of the main things we are looking for beforehand, it can streamline things for buyers and sellers, and we can get info ahead of time as to where you will be on the fairgrounds.

 

429-460 use the same 1.73 ratio rocker as your Cleveland.

 

Yes, I know, I am assuming that guys that deal in ford stuff all know this.
Guys, feel free to post your wanted lists here, that's the idea, try to link up buyers and sellers ahead of time.
FWIW, I had no idea whether posting a thread like this would work. I had a potential lead on the King Bees five minutes in, seems to be working pretty good.

 

I need a nice 30-31 model a firewall.

I plan on heading over for the first time ever.....any tips for a first timer?

Looking for garnish mouldings for my '34 Plymouth 2 door

 

Tip #1
Get there EARLY
Tip #2
Get their EARLY
Tip #3
You got it

 

We are always there around 6:45, trying to bribe security into letting us in before the gates open.

 

Ha! Ya Moron--with any luck I will be looking for YOU! ...Well, if I can get the T parts in the truck.....

 

I'll be there, have to make a new list of stuff. I really could use a block of time to work on my cars!

 

I'd like to find a really nice '32 roadster body for around 5 grand. If you see one save it for me. But it has to be complete.

 

I like the way you think​

 

If the Pick Up is put up "For Sale"
Stop the Insanity at the Swap Meet it would cause & just PM me....
Your Truck is Absolutely Gorgeous......

 

Hey Paul- maybe I can hitch a ride up with you??? I'll buy ya lunch or split gas? We could take the "Jelly Bean" as you call it, but we'll be pushing from about 40 miles north of you on up.... I'll give you a call in the next day or so.

What am I looking for? Motivation? Free money?
Really though, a pair of AFFORDABLE 1957 283 WCFB's.
"Wings" Fuel Level gauge.
Twin Blue Volts gauge (I have located one but can't seem to get the guy to follow through....patience is no fun).
Also on the hunt for a complete '32 roadster, but I only want to spend 2 grand. Anything over 2, sell it to the guy above ^^^ Ha!

 

Are you coming to Monroe? That would work out PERFECT!

 

And to think you sent me a pm saying how hard it is to find a 2 5/8 green stripe fuel gauge!! Uh yea, good luck with that Tim!!

 

We can dream, can't we?

I think we are BOTH doing a bit of that!

 

As long as we are dreaming; keep your eye out for a 3245 Holley, I'd pay as much as a 100 bucks for one.

 

Looking for an affordable 409!

 

Get in line behind Tim and his cheap 270hp WCFB's...

 

I also need a 36 ford glove box door or just a good hinge would do as well.

Tim.........I think that might work. We will have to leave on Friday afternoon, maybe, and then try to make it back Saturday night. I will work on that. Call me this weekend.

George.....Think that would be the obvious thing to do. Never my strong suit though, the obvious...

 

Sounds really good. That would work well for me too. And we could have a meet n greet to boot! Man, at this rate, I am gonna have the market cornered on T projects!

 

Thought 57's were 4gc's ?

Hes looking for the thin baseplate 2x4 WCFB carbs. You find them in Canadian Tire, next to the unicorns...

WCFB's? Lets talk, I'll send you a pm.

 

For those that don't know, the gennie factory dual four WCFB's off 245 and 270hp 283's are the ones that are rare as hens teeth. The real article, the baseplates are 7/8" thick, run of the mill high choke mount single four WCFB's have a 1 1/8" thick baseplates, and AFB's are totally different, have a baseplate cast integral with the main body, two floats instead of 4, and are a totally different carb.

 

Thanks for that info George
