My distributor has the later ‘50 cast aluminum housing, so the shaft extends below the gear. This tells me that the timing cover has to be the...
I have no idea why it broke, or even how it could. Oil pressure is good, around 40 psi at cruising rpm, and 15 or so at idle. The shaft was not...
I was cruising along happily, engine running fine as always, then it wasn’t running. Just like that. My immediate thought was ignition problems,...
Sorry I can’t help, but this sounds interesting. I’ll keep an eye on this thread (I have a ‘60 F100).
I’m out of town so I can’t get a photo, but I mounted mine where the clock used to be in my ‘50 Ford coupe. It’s not a race car, so I don’t need...

Maybe try Henderson? I had a VIN inspection on my Shoebox Ford (Oregon title) and Harley Shovelhead (California title). Both took a couple minutes...

You could get some factory-looking steel wheels from Summit Racing with 3” offset (I got some, they’re nice). Original wheels were 3 1/2” offset....
I found a Maverick rear end a few years ago; they’re getting scarce. Width is perfect, some say it will bolt in, but I had to cut off the perches...
There’s freak cold front coming through my area next Thursday - down to 98 degrees! I plan to dust off that shoebox Ford and take it out for some...
Man that’s cool. I had the same idea building my ‘50 coupe - I wanted it to be something a teenager would have in about 1962. [ATTACH]
