Re: My 1941 Ford 1/2 ton pickup restoration

Thanks. Wish I could lay claim to the work. I bought it as a "restored" truck. The body and interior were beautifully restored, but the chassis was a worn-out hunk of junk. The PO had added 3 full...

Re: My 1941 Ford 1/2 ton pickup restoration

Nice gaps. I can't seem to get my hood to fit right. Yours is much better.

Wire wheel truing

The Budd wheels on my new, to me, '33 Continental Flyer are wobbly. Actually, one is true, two are marginal and two are wobbly.

Who can straighten these for me? Makes no sense to put new tires on...

Ignition resistor

My '41 has an ignition resistor that's been bypassed. It has a modern coil instead of the unit mounted on the distributor. Is this a correct installation?

Re: Stainless steel(rusty)

New to this, squeaky springs

What do you recommend for getting rid of the fairly apparent leaf spring noise? I see what looks like rust dust between the leaves. I assume that that is where the noise is coming from.

Thanks.

Re: Molasses dip came out crusty, need advice

Actually, it works quite well. It's called chelation.

You might want to add some heat. That speeds the process greatly.

Re: Tire Pressure

It probably felt like it was floating because it was overinflated, causing a smaller contact patch, thus lower traction.

Re: Kinda off-topic "Dream Cruise"

Dream Snooze? It sucks if you have an old or open car. They ruined the cruise by allowing diesel tour busses mingle with the cruisers. They get to sit in air conditioning living vicariously, while...

Re: Horns blows once than shorts out.

It's like electric brakes on trailers. The coils are not voltage specific but need to be controlled by a variable resistor.

You are overdriving your horns, but they should hold up, as little as...

Re: Tire Pressure

What do you mean by "floating"? I'm contemplating radials for my '41 and I'd like to know what to expect.

Did you have it aligned after the new tires were installed. That made a big difference on...

Here's a case of DIW.

"Short circuit"

As a newbie here I've been reading a number of posts here that use the term "short circuit". It is most often misused as a short circuit is a direct connection between the power source and a ground...

Re: Horns blows once than shorts out.

Good point. A 6-volt specific horn would draw twice the amperage at 12-volts. You might try an in-line resistor if you want to use the old horns.

Re: Horns blows once than shorts out.

Horns can draw 20-amps, or more. I would try a separate 30-amp fuse-holder off the battery and use a 20-amp fuse. Use 10 gauge wire and you should be fine.

However, if your car does not have a...

Re: Horns blows once than shorts out.

Horns are a simple electro-magnet. I would say that the draw is too high. What size fuse is blowing, and what size is the wire?

Re: What is the HAMB site

I'm beginning to understand. It wasn't that my thread was off-topic, it was the graphic nature of one of the last posts that got the thread closed. Seems a strange way to handle the situation.
