Here's the arms I bent on my '40. You can see the two spots where they were heated. There's a Tardel book that explains it in detail, but it's...
I've take the trans out of my 40 and my 47 through the top after pulling the rear back. It went pretty smooth in both and the rear mount was able...
Any better pics of the dash? I think I have the same set of dash knobs and I never saw another set. I think they are early aftermarket?
I haven't used them myself, but when I was shopping for an authentic style chrome wheel The Wheelsmith looked like they were the closest to what I...
I used a set of Champion in my late model 4.6 motor because they were making the one piece plug in place of the two piece OE style that Ford used...
This is a nice usable set of convertible top latches. Outer corners are old cast brass reproductions with nice chrome and good original latches,...
Google mercury trunk light there are multiple versions available new. American Autowire 500143 looks readily available for $30 or so. Looks like...
Yeah no doubt. Somewhere I had the other tach, it's a mirror of the first and turns backwards because the other motor would be reverse rotation.
Anyone ever see one of these? It's like a 3/4 scale Hollywood panel, just a touch smaller than the usual. I tend to think it's Stewart Warner...
Did you at least file the points if you didn't replace them when you did the condenser?
Maybe see if someone can make a template and email it to you? My '47 was missing it's sunvisors, I found a pair of chrome arms at a swap meet and...
Points and condenser is where I would start.
Those look like AC brand.
What's the oil pressure usually look like on your engines? I rebuilt my oil pump with everything else apart. I primed it on the stand and had...
That was a feature a lot of C4's left the factory with. Most shift kits address this so they start in first.
Not sure if this is any help, my dad put together this A with an F100 box 20 years ago. It can certainly be done. Note he cut the mast off the...
I think you mean 2007 Hollywood.
The whole roof is shorter. It's the same trunk lid, but the sail panel in between is longer. You can put a small back seat in a short door coupe...
Under most driving conditions if they are working properly they don't freewheel. If you lock out the overdrive they drive like a regular 3 speed....
What about just using a borg warner 3 speed with electric overdrive? They were commonly available for all the major cars in the 50's-60's. Shifts...
I think it's cooler as found than restored, but what do I know.
I can tell you from experience that tolerances need to be tight. I've also read about guys swapping gears from a late '50's Ford three speed,...
That's kind of a loaded question. What might be easy for you might be hard for someone else. A lot is going to depend on the condition of the rest...
For what you want it's probably easier to hold out for a Ford rear.
An insulator on the fuel pump is probably overkill. You might want to consider Olsen gaskets makes intake gaskets that are made without heat riser...
I've used a couple spun tanks from here, they're supposedly made in USA and they have a ton of different size options. Way cheaper than Moon...
I think I'd rather have too much than not enough. If it's at 10 and it drives good I'd be happy.
Sounds like an internal problem with the planetary. Pull the tailshaft and inspect.
1940 Ford convertible is another one year only body. Nothing in common with a 39 or 41.
I had my home heating oil delivery guy fill mine while he was there, which is basically diesel. When that reached the end of it's life I switched...
