Re: A bumper question for 56's
While perusing and reminiscing ... :rolleyes:
I just noticed this car has a CONTINENTAL KIT. Now the question is it FORD or aftermarket? The exhaust would have to be modified/re-plumbed.

Re: Help with VIN
What is stamped on the frame rail is a PARTIAL VIN.

Now are you still wondering...

Re: Help with VIN
That is not the complete SERIAL NUMBER/VIN.
Show complete SERIAL NO as shown on the RATING PLATE on the glove box door minus the digits if concerned.

Re: Ford 385 Family Engine 370 429 and 460
The 370 replaced the FT SERIES and the BIG JOB SERIES. It had different build details and ratings according to application.
I think the 390 is going to give you much better service.

Re: Windlace clip
The correct PN is B5A 7002614-A (55/56 FORD).
Maybe SEARCH and see if any NOS or maybe go by a trim shop and ask.

Re: HEI distributor

Not even a CHI-CON SLOPPY COPY HEI (BOW-TIE) DIST should be subjected to that.
Try and turn (gently) with an oil filter wrench around the bowl (cap removed).
Like said, it is either...

The 1957 4100 had a divorced choke whereas the 1958 4100 was redesigned to bring the choke assembly closer to the main body. The 1957/58 HOLLEY 4150 also fit under the ACL and was...

What part of the choke mechanism interferes with the air cleaner? Is the ACL FORD (what year) or aftermarket?

Re: Timken a150 pinion seal
I don't have a MPC that goes that far back.
There should be an ID NO on the seal itself that can be changed over to a modern PN.
What PN does your schematic show?
