Amended asking price to $5,000 o.b.o. Make me an offer. Even if you don't plan to race it or show it, there are a lot of good OEM parts here!
Bump! I'm open to offers. You won't offend me.
Selling this vintage 1939 Mercury Coupe dirt track racer. It was in a building that caught fire, but only the top of the car got hot. It really...
Yea...I don't have another coil handy. I'll go get one and then try that. I'll try grounding the output wire to the block and see what happens...
HaHaHa
That sounds like a BAD idea! I was hoping for a GOOD idea!
Hey guys. Is there any way to test a coil? I got my '39 all buttoned up, new rear-end gear put in it, and I was ready to fire her up. It...
I couldn't agree more! When it was built, it was sitting (rotting) in an old chicken yard. My grandpa saw it, inquired about it, bought it, and...
She's not pretty, but man does she sound mean! I absolutely love the original flatheads! I have a very special spot in my garage for her!
Sure! Here are some pictures: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] She was in our garage when it burnt, so its not that pretty. We...
Hey all! I have an update! I have been moving along quite slowly on my rear-end rebuild as I only get a weekend here or there to work on...
the-rodster (Rich), I've been trying to reach you via PM. I need some help with my '39 rear-end. (Sorry to thread jack...) I'm in dire need...
Where did you get your parts from? Did you buy a rear-end repair kit with gaskets, shims and seals? What about bearings?
and part 4625? What's that? I will have to call joblot and ask them about their install kits. I have ordered lots of brake parts from them...
Ohhhhh ok. The 4636 is a lock washer that keeps the nuts from coming undone. 4607 is a pin that connects the pinion to the driveshaft? Again,...
Luckily, I have both! Huh? :confused: What are these? Are you talking about the two nuts that go on the pinion? And the pin for the...
BTW...How can I tell in what year my banjo rear-end was made? I checked with Hotrodworks on kits, and they need a specific year range...
Bruce, You think I will be fine with the bearings and races that I have? How do I get the bearings off of the pinion? How do I reinstall them...
Wow.....(huh?). I really have no idea what I am getting into. Do you know of a place that sells rear-end rebuild kits? (with bearings, races,...
Good info, Bruce! BTW...i'm still trying to figure out how to install my new gear... ;-)
Well, I have a 6.17 "Getz" gear that I got from Speedway. It is still in the box. I don't think the box has any labels on it. I'll go back and...
http://www.speedwaymotors.com/p/3769,313_GETZ-High-Speed-Gear-Sets-for-1935-48-Ford-and-Mercury.html?itemNo=getz Website says "Getz". FWIW...
Are you guys installing these on your own? Or taking them to a shop to install them? I am currently trying to undertake a similar project on my...
OK. I have a technical/DIY question for anyone who can help. I have a '39 Mercury dirt track stock car that I am trying to change the rear-end...
This is the picture of the puller I used from Mac Tools. Notice the two forks have curved ends on them. The hook right over the flange on the...
Good news guys! I found a puller in my grandfather's toolbox. It is not a KR Wilson puller, but it works 100% like it. I tested it out and...
That is not a bad idea. If I am unable to find/purchase one from Sacrarmento, I will be doing this. Thanks V4!
Zombie, I have tried checking with Sacramento Vintage Ford. I cannot for the life of me get ahold of them. They must have a telegraph system....
Anyone know where I can find another one of these? Or perhaps one of these:...
