Re: Hood Fitment on 48 F-3
Really! That would not have been my first guess since the hood stays up just fine. I will give it a shot. I suspect they will be a pain to install...
Thanks

Hood Fitment on 48 F-3
Ever since I bought the truck 14 years ago the hood has had this issue. Any hints on getting it adjusted where it will drop down in the back a couple of inches or so. You can push it down but it...

Re: 48-50 F3 Widowmaker Replacement
I'n not sure exactly what you are asking. The adapter is bolted down to the drum via the original studs with the new 1/2-20 bulge lugs. It looks somewhat like they are barely holding but the bulge...

48-50 F3 Widowmaker Replacement
Those of us with the 48-50 F3's know it is a bit of a pain to try to retain the original Timken 4.86 rear with the 14" drums. Normally modern 16" wheels will not clear the 14" drums. I found 8X6.5 1...

Re: F1 Question
In "new" condition the 226 will run 110 to 120 PSI. I suspect this one has been sitting for some time and the rings are stuck. You can try some ATF in all the cylinders and let it soak for a week or...

Re: 226 G straight 6 overheating
I am running a modern style 180* in my H with no overheating issues. It gets to 180 and stays there. It controls the flow beautifully to maintain the temp dead on. After it warms up anytime I check...

Re: Flat 6
The flathead 6 is one of the best kept secrets of the flathead Fords. It has better lower end torque, almost the same horsepower and will out run an 8 until you get close to top end. It does not have...

Re: 48 Flathead 6 cylinder rebuild parts
Check with Egge.com. You may have to call them. They used to show just about all the parts for a complete rebuild on the 226 but all they are showing online now is the V-8.
I got a .30 over...

Re: Shop wireing Question
I would think you should be able to come up with some simple counter balance system. Just a couple of pulleys, rope and a weight close to the weight of the lid.

Re: Oil pressure drop?
Respectively there is no reason to bleed the air from an oil pressure gauge. It will make no difference in the reading whatsoever as the air will compress and be at the same pressure as the oil and...

Re: 1951 F3 Build
The 4 speed as already mentioned is the "spur" or straight cut gears with no synchronizers. There is quite the art in learning to shift it without grinding it. That being said it is also the...

Re: 1949 Mercury Radio ID
That is the same radio that fits the opening in the 48-50 F-Series trucks and that make them like gold. That is unfortunately one of the most expensive radios you can try to find. I have one that I...

Re: NAPA Voltage regulator
Are you using an analog or digital meter to check the battery voltage. Generally use an analog VOM to check the voltage when you have a generator as the noise a generator creates can throw off a...
