Can you direct me to a 427 Galaxie site on Facebook please? I've posted by issue in the 63/64 Galaxie group w/o success. I've ordered the...
My original starter end plate part# reads "FAA 11131 B8"
Is that the correct end plate for a 427 FE with cast iron headers? From the description I'm afraid it is the "normal" FE one, which brings the...
The front plate is broken and the shaft is bent as well. Not rubuildable, I'm afraid.
From the discussionon on the FE Forum I understand this starter will fit my engine: https://www.robbmcperformance.com/products/fordyblock.html
That's exactly what I did to the Promaster 3131, but the terminal is still in the wrong position and hits the header tube. I tried to relocate the...
Yes, but it appears they don't list the right one.
Hello, I'm looking for a starter, that fits my 1963 427ci Galaxie manual transmission with factory cast metal headers. The original looks like...
Glückwunsch, der würde mir auch gefallen !
The best dizzy for the French flathead is probably the SB Chevy with centrifugal advance, modified by Bubba. We had no good results with the...
French flathead blocks were made until mid '80s, at least these are the last date stamps we came across. They were rebuilt for the French army...

my 37 V8 at the brand new "Reichsautobahn" station [IMG]
That might be true for North-American blocks, but a 1937 Cologne flathead V8 has block mounted pumps and still babbit bearings (mains and rods)....
Thanks, will have a closer look for the numbers. Good to know its a Ford flathead transmission anyway.
sorry, but I don't know. I'd recommend to use a converted Chevy distributor on a French Flathead.
Hello, a friend of mine aquired this Ford(?) 3sp transmission with a bunch of flathead parts. We were unable to locate any marking on the...
[ATTACH] or if you're "on a mission"
Check http://www.nummernschildmuseum.de/ - they might have an old allied forces plate for sale. I've got some myself, but not the style shown on...
I've got a NOS Bosch coil for the front mounted '37 distributor. Drop me a note if you're interested. Also got a spare dizzy.
You can use 8BA style waterpumps. Original, Cologne built army surplus pumps are also still available at reasonable prices. I am using them on my...
It is a 3.9 litre German G29T engine. Looks like post 1952, but I cannot tell the exact year from the numbers shown. The Belgian army ordered...
looks like they survived in Switzerland
Ford started assembly in Argentina in 1916. But since Argentina (as most of South-America) is a left hand drive market I doubt this vehicle was...
great - another '37 in my neighbourhood
There is a German company, that can remanufacture any water pump at a reasonable rate: http://www.remex-wasserpumpen.de/
Special tools for German pre-war Fords were sourced from VLC Löwener. Their flathead tools are KR Wilson look-a-likes. I'm just in the process of...
