Four years later, did you remove it?
There is also a “notch” at the back of the torque tube that matches up with a notch in the banjo to allow oil to drain back into the banjo. This...
It does sound like something (coil?) is heating up and going South after you drive it for awhile. Since half of the world’s problems are...
Must run suppression wires with PerTronix Ignitor. Solid core will let it start, run then stall out. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B....
What Pocket Nick said: The 8BA (49-53)is a longer engine than the earlier flat motors. If you plan to run a hood, you will be very challenged to...
[IMG] I hope the picture makes it with the post. A V8 rear end will have the scallops where the T-tube bolts up. The picture shows a shortened...
Kicking the generator off to the side on a 59AB is usually done to enable your ability to run three deuces. The generator would also have to move...
My avatar shows a pair of '97's on an 8BA. I like the ability of running the generator straight up. In it's latest reiteration, the fan is on...
I have a '39 Ford rear end under my '32 (shortened) and it, in fact, does have a spline coupler. So, I don't know if the Merc is different, or...
I can just imagine pulling into the lot at Friche's Big Boy on a Saturday night in a built '40 Willys gasser. But, then, I probably should have...
I believe you mentioned above that you build custom electrical displays and working models for a living. Your skills and talents are readily on...
Really good work and informative thread by the both of you. I enjoyed reading it from the beginning to present. Hyvolt, where in the car did you...
Damn, Mac, that is not what I was wanting to hear. Might you know of any alternative, good solution for running a mechanical fan on an 8BA that...
I don't have good pictures right now, my computer is fighting me. However, with the help of some of the H.A.M.B.ers on here, I have what I...
I am fighting that same battle right now. I have a thread going “Save me from the electric fan” that you might want to check out. I believe the...
I updated my avatar yesterday and, it seemed to have worked. Today it is back to the old avatar. I have "in-channeled" the deuce. Your right,...
In reference to the diagram, I have that exact fan in my stash of old flathead junk. I'm going to pull it out to get some measurements. It would...
Did you get your Chevy distributor from Bubba’s? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Sidevalve, Thanks for the pictures. I can see that you have a shorter hub, forward of the fan pulley, than I have on my fan. My fan, hub and,...
I do believe you have that exactly right. I have a king’s ransom wrapped up in a Mallory dual point distributor along with belts and pulleys....
That is exactly where I'll be directing my efforts. Thanks for the pictures. Was it difficult to put the early heads on your 8ba?
I have found a fan with a short hub and, it looks like it will work. I still have to determine if the hub will fit my 6 volt (converted to 12...
What do you think the difference might be? Do you have any close up pictures of your fan/radiator setup?
My Carb setup has changed since I posted the avatar. It's running two 97's now with the generator straight up in front. I was pretty sure the...
I'm looking for some guidance or, suggestions. I have an 8BA with a '39 transmission bolted to the stock "K" member in a '32 five window. I am...
I thought second and third were the only gears in a Ford three speed that utilized the synchros. 1st & reverse slider are not synchro. Maybe I...
Thanks. Dale
Who did you order the insulated panel from?
Neal, do you know of any good available steering box for a '32? I have the worn out stock box to rebuild. I have rebuilt an F100 box but have...
I believe, if you search around here, you find a desertion by GMC Bubba on coil and point resistance. As your points are a switch, the more...
