I live near Charlotte - the spring AutoFair is the easy place to sell your items. I have street rods - or I would be a buyer of sheet metal and...
I have this compressor - three years now - runs and performs great.
Change out the o ring and inside bushing - if they have play - will really leak fluid. Just changed mine - stopped leaks - search eBay for o...
I have also used the Chassis Engineering kit on several 1940’s. Works good Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Nice fit - what donor vehicle did the seat come out of? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Any good source to purchase a new dwell meter. I have bought 2 off web - when they arrive - do not work.
I would love to have a crank mount fan on my 1939 Ford Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I spot in with MEG - then butt weld with a Henrob gas torch. Takes much more time - but better results and can hammer weld and metal finish and...
Thanks again Mitch - I did not have Street Rodder Magazines back to this date. I have both Frank Oddo's books and he mentions this modification -...
I would also love to see the 39 petal layout to Muncie 4 speed Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I cleaned up the vacuum cansiter on the Columbia Two Speed Rear. Had mud in the 2 vacuum ports - after oiled - the diagram moved well on the...
Installed mine - with 600 CFM Edelbrock Carb. Much better than stock 4-Jet carb and iron intake. Want to keep period look. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Stayed with original 39 dash. Plans to paint dash and garnish trim satin back when I add interior items.[ATTACH]
I reset the idle to 900 rpm. The 12-14 vacuum was spot on. I put a MSD Blaster 2 coil on - seemed to help vs stock coil, and I backed off the...
next time i run the '39 - I will lower down the idle and test it. Cam does not have strong low end - the little higher idle helps at stop signs...
Glad the pics helped - thanks for the info - I really might try an improved coil - either the Bosch 00012 listed above or a MSD - prefer the...
I was lead to believe this is a GMC factory 30/30 cam - Vaccum is 16 inches at 1,100 rpm at idle. This 327 lacks strong low end - but really...
No really can not. My dad and his mechanic 1st cousin rebuild the 327 in 1970 - both has passed. Has 16 inches of vacuum. Sent from my...
If I keep the points - any suggestion about hotter coil? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
not scared - just changed them last night - first time in 20 years for me. I am a Ford engine guy - they were easier to reach vs Chevy. Just...
agree ..... the OEM black air cleaner was 4 or so inches and dropped base - would not fit the new carb. I need a Holley 5 inch base and go back...
hard line is under the heat shield. Will clean up when I pull engine to paint firewall.
I have a 1965 Chevy 327 in a 1939 Ford Coupe - with stock distributor. I replaced plugs, points and condensor with A/C Delco items. Coil is stock...
Same here with my 1939 Ford Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Love it - great job!
I had to heat the bottom of the 4 speed Muncie shifter and reshape it to clear the seat. Got lucky - did not melt the wire for the reverse lock...
I bought a set of Mac's trunk panels for my 1939 Ford coupe - paid about $100 - 3 large pieces of thick paperboard - with holes pre punched and...
Wow - Love it. I might try this vs manual. My only issue is my gauges are electric and the speedo is a pluse type - no manual cable. I have not...
This 327 has been in this '39 Ford for almost 50 years. [ATTACH]
This Columbia was from a 1940 Lincoln Continental - has a late 1940's pickup open drive shaft and Muncie 4 speed and 327 Chevy engine.
