Re: I’d this steering wheel please

The box does indeed look like the improved type introduced in 1937. That is viewed as an upgrade for 35-36 models.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

I think the question you need to ask yourself is how much time you expect to spend at wide open throttle. Is there a drag strip on the island? (Guessing not).

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

I have a 255 cu in motor and it runs fine with a stock 94 8BA carb. I do note you said you don't have one of those. If you look closely at the base of the 1-1/16" carb you will note the bores are...

Re: Front Axle 1939 Ford pickup

The tubular link is the tie rod and that should be straight. The mainly solid one is the drag link and is normally not straight.

Re: Timing advance plate - Crab Distributor

Hi Glen. Is that the wide land side or the narrow land side?
I couldn't find the pics in the other thread.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Unless there was a gasket there previously I wouldn't use a gasket at the base of the pump. By using the gasket you have introduced a gasket's worth of end play. That will lower the pressure the pump...

Re: Front Axle 1939 Ford pickup

As long as the axle looks straight to the eye it will be ok. A slight error in straightness will not cause the problem you are describing.
One question, though, are the wheels aligned correctly when...

Re: Front Axle 1939 Ford pickup

Ok. I have watched the video and would say your ackermann is screwed up. One or both steering arms might have been bent. With the wheels in the straight ahead position you ought to be able to project...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

No gasket between oil pump and block. The only gasket is between the oil pickup and the pump.

On the French motors they use an O ring where the pump fits the block. The O ring is quite thick. I...

Re: Oil filter emergency bypass

Re: My next flathead build?

The walls can sometimes be a little thicker right at the top. This is only from memory so please make checks yourself. I did have some success with an ultrasonic thickness checker.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

GB, make sure you check in the middle of the piston dome also. The pistons can sometimes be a little pointy and that can be a problem area.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

Manual timing sounds like a bit of a retrograde step to me. What's wrong with stock?

Personally I prefer crab and 59A type cam. My French motors have been re-done as 59A crab type.
