With an auction, a seller needs to take some risk. By risk I mean lowering the reserve to an almost uncomfortable level. Otherwise you should...
I had a ‘59 Olds with Willow Mist Poly on it and it was almost identical to the original color posted. It is a little darker than the Caddy above.
This isn’t exactly the information you are looking for but some details may help. I just installed a BOP TH350 on a ‘62 389 with the bell housing...
One off topic tip for the Treadle-vac is to put a small pipe plug or plug valve at the bottom of the vacuum piston canister. When these units...
Nope. This whole thread revolves around the belief that smoke from the breather was due to overheating. The OP then did some work on the coolant...
X38 is correct, smoke from the breather has nothing to do with overheating. Your engine has some blow by which is perfectly normal for an 8BA...
I think I would have to throw the BS flag at 10% water in the system. That would make your level rise in the master cylinder. These are closed...
I've used Ospho on my last two builds using all SPI products afterwards and have had zero issues. The oldest paint job is now about 7 years old....
Because my roadster brakes were so bad, I decided to go through them and get rid of all of the slop and adjust them correctly. Part of the job...
Pass the torch - Any chance your shell came from Pennsylvania sometime after 2013?
The one in Kookie II has a bullet in the back of it. Why doesn’t the one in question have one?
I had my stock 59 A-B cam re-ground to a Mercury 8CM to go with the 4” crank. I’m very happy with it for a regular driver.
The first “RVW” story is below. Others have also been given the title. “That car was purchased new in 1917 by Oscar Peterson of Center City,...
The "Rip Van Winkle" 1917 Model T Ford.
A Cole-Hersee 551800 is a nice, heavy duty SPST switch. If you check on EBay you can usually find an NOS one that was made in the USA. I do...
So now I have to wonder, did the change from the pan return connection up to '48 to the block return connection from '49 - '53 create the need for...
To the O.P. and to warbird1 post above, despite the discussion about whether to have a orifice at the inlet or not, make sure that the flow back...
Well apparently I have been led astray by the experts: Flatjack9 - Fordbarn 2-20-2017 11:37 P.M. - "It can also be in the return tube inside the...
Again, specifically for a 59ab Ford filter and not a GM or Chrysler or whatever else, there are two .055" restrictor holes on the outlet tube; one...
The point of having the restriction after the filter is that the oil won't have any contaminants to clog the orifice unlike the unfiltered oil at...
Unless the inlet hole is smaller than the outlet hole, pressure will build. Take a look at the outlet and I guarantee it is smaller than the...
I've heard for years about this restricted fitting on inlet line of Ford canister filters but it makes no sense. The outlet tube in the center of...
[ATTACH] My ‘31 has a stock dimension ‘32 Brassworks with the hidden fill neck. I chose not to get the built in overflow tank because you have no...
[ATTACH] This is my new one. It is made from paint drippings from a machine where I work.
I'm taking a load out on Saturday...a good 8BA and a bunch of other heavy stuff. Hopefully my load is lighter on the way home.
That’s too bad it happened. Are the pictures at the scene of the hit? They must have been playing on their phone to not see your car.
I’ve learned that some sellers aren’t worth the effort to buy from and that some buyers aren’t worth the effort to sell to.
They are at an angle of about 10 degrees. I've heard about the '50 Plymouth shocks and may give a set of them a try. I might pull one leaf also...
I'm changing the gearing in my AV8 pickup and, while I'm at it, would like to get some more give in the rear suspension. When I built the truck I...
I'm not sure it this was a joke or not but: "That Model A vitamix it look like a pup" = "That Model A body makes it look like a pup" Vitamix...
