It looks like blocking it off behind the pump or on the top of the block it accomplishes the same thing. It's a short passage between the pump...
Thanks to all! I'll look for the stubby tap first or modify the one I have. So I cut down the one I had and did the deed. I'm going to plug both...
Been a while since I've posted anything here and I need a bit of advice. Just got my 8BA back from the machinist and want to put on a pair of...

I've found a couple of old "accessory" 6 volt fan, hot water heaters at swap meets, etc. NAPA sells electric 12 volt motors and I've been able to...
Bratton's Mt Airy, MD.
While I could modify the whole setup for that, it comes with the cross bar and old style flathead fork with the actuating arm on the outside.
Greetings, been a while. I'm in the process of building a '29 A-V8. Using a '52 flathead, truck bell, Speedway adapter and a B-W T-5. For the...
You'll need a clean air inlet to replace what is sucked out. Normally your vented oil fill cap. Putting the PCV opening directly below that will...

Bratton's in Mt. Airy, MD carries them. Not cheap, I think they're from Brookville.
Thank you all! I'm waiting for Damper Dudes to respond, got a quote from Damper Doctor in CA and HBrebuild.com in Oregon. Seems only the west...
Blueone: I will check with mctim64 for info, thanks. jimmy six: I've just asked for a quote from the Damper Doctor and hbrepair.com. I was...
Thanks ! Bonanza has 3/8" belt grove, mine is 1/2" Powerbond doesn't sound too good. I'd seen them on google and came hear for a better experience.
Had the heads reconditioned and machined for viton valve guide seals on the y-block {292}. Took it out yesterday and about a mile from home got...
Check Bratton's for Model A stuff. Located in MD, family run.
MY '35 fordor with an 8BA, .040 over had the 390 and ran very well, got good mileage on trips. The 292 Y-block in the '29 runs the 500 Eddy with...
WD-40?
The '35 Fordor had a t-5 and 3:55 8 rear. The wooki (vicki length woody) that I'm building will have a modified 8BA, 5 spd and 3.78 banjo.
I believe the wheelbase is longer on the '35 which means putting the '35 engine, trans, torque tube and rear axle into an A frame may not work...
I just found ABC Radiator in Baltimore City. Family business. He's re-coring one for me. Core is 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 2". Mine was honeycomb...
Not much to do with anything yet, just gathering supplies. Picked up an old 6 volt, under dash accessory heater. Needs a core and conversion to...
I had an issue with clanky valves on my 292. Soft pushrods from the west coast. Finally got a new set from Smith Bros in Oregon. Randomly...
I've seen rebuildable engines from $100 on up depending. If it's the early Y-up to '56, not much. If '57 or later, you want to research the...
I could be totally off on this, but I think the '35 x-member has a taller profile than '32 rails.
