Re: Vacuum wiper ,fuel pump Questions
You can loop a hose from one port on the fuel pump to the other port. This will just keep all the crap that could be sucked into the pump out of it.

Re: y block ticking
How are the motor mounts? If under load and the motor rocks, it can open up an exhaust leak that is not there when not under load.

Re: Draft tube block off plate?
Is the draft tube right behind the fuel pump? If so I was wondering what that block off plate was for on my 56 T-Bird 312. If this is correct a block off plate from a Thunderbird will work.

Re: Power steering pump leak
I have seen small soft copper washers used to fix leaking flared fittings. Just insert into the fitting and it conforms to the scored parts.

Re: Another 1954 Ford Question
My 56 T-Bird has the frame stamped on the top of the frame directly under the heater blower on the passenger side. I don't know if yours is the same but it's easy to look with just opening the hood.

Re: pinion angle help
Zerk fittings replaced Alemite fittings on almost all makes by 1934. Alemite is old school for grease fitting.
