I think it is just the angle of the photo. My pitman arm is 6" long. Bent as required to clear the radius rod, it has an effective length of...
My 31 Ford Coupe on 32 rails has a F1 box. I’m building the exhaust. I want to keep the exhaust under the car so that I can run a hood. I can...
I noticed some gaps in the ledge around the aircleaner flange on the carburetor. I will try to tig some teeth on the aircleaner that will key into...
Ebbspeed-I’m thinking about your proposed plan...
Yes to the gasket. Nothing is warped. I may JB Weld a key onto the carb. Thanks fellas. .
I have an oval air cleaner on top of a Holley 4150. The oval air cleaner is always crooked and needs constant realignment. How have any of you...
Is your firewall reversed? Is that to make the y-block fit?
If I recall, I trimmed this section out of a longer hose. I wish the thermostat housing weren’t billet, but it was all I could find with correct...
My 30/31 Model-A coupe has had the rearmost part of the trunk re-worked. No longer does it have the rear inner panel that lets water from the...
When filling with cornhead grease, do you just pack it down the oil fill hole till it won't come out, or do I need to disassemble the box and pack...

Building a "traditional" model A on 32 rails with 32 grill (see avatar/profile photo) with a sbc. I hope to take it to the drag strip regularly,...
Just heard back from Bob Drake. They measured their bracket for me and they said that the spacing between the screws is 1.287". That is closer...
Yeah, that is what mine does, sandwich the shell between the radiator bracket and the hinge bracket. I just measured mine. The radiator and...
Every piece is after-market: radiator, grill and bracket. When two out of three match, I'm prone to blame it on the odd-part-out, which in this...

Time to buy a welder and start practicing.
I got the flat top louvers and I kinda wish I’d gone with the curved Louver. Oh well, live and learn. I bought this car to learn on planning to...

deucemac- Would you be willing to attach a photo of your radiator in the next couple days?
