Re: 8ba road draft tubes

I mistakenly double entered my last post and tried to delete it. :o


Glad you're just using the road draft for looks. :)

Re: 8ba road draft tubes

Curious why you would want to stay with the road draft ventilation instead of installing a much improved PCV?

Re: 1940 Pickup - 8BA Conversion

I would remove the weakened yoke and purchase the well made brackets below, or fab your own. The only mod required is enlarging an existing frame hole for the bottom bolt. This also allows more...

Re: '40 Ford window regulator repair

An update. I found if you remove the lower travel stop bolt, the main frame can now move away from the main gear, allowing full access to either side of the drive assembly. The only modification is...

Re: '40 Ford window regulator repair

Have you performed this repair on a '40 regulator, as there is only just over 1/16" working clearance on the problem hole?

Re: '40 Ford window regulator repair

Thank you Karl for the offer, but I placed an order with Drake yesterday for the pair.

I still want to try and repair the regulators I have.

Re: '40 Ford window regulator repair

I was also going to use pop rivets instead of the solid rivets in the kit, but there is not enough room to place one rivet because the gear is angled to the main frame and too close. The only option...

Re: 8BA in 40 sedan

Bob Drake used to offer (maybe still does) nice brackets I'm using that replaces the stock fender brace for use with IFS, and would solve the pulley issue with the 8BA. Holes for the brackets are...

Re: rebuilt 8ba with only 4 'flywheel holes- no dowels

I've read that some late Merc cranks with factory fitted auto trans were not "dimpled" for manual trans input shafts in the flange, but no knowledge about dowel holes being removed also.

Re: Problems w ~ 51 flathead in 46 Mercury Woodie

A simple solution for replacing the very obsolete Borg & Beck pressure on a '49-'53 Mercury flywheel is a common diaphragm that any good clutch re-builder should have. Finger height, straight or...

Re: 1935 Fordor - Need working Vacuum Wiper Motor

I had Ficken Wiper Service rebuild my '51's motor about 20 years ago. The rebuild was very well done that still works great.

Re: distributor on 53 f-100

The loadomatic vacuum signal from the 94 is very low, around 6"Hg max, so manifold vacuum is your only choice for the Pertronix's vacuum advance.

Be sure to match the the coil resistance with...

Re: Bleeding brakes-pedal pressure problem. Could use some advice/suggestions

A correct kit would have/should have retained the manual 6:1 or so ratio. Best to modify what you have, or fabricate up a new bracket that allows correct ratio and master cylinder placement.

Re: Bleeding brakes-pedal pressure problem. Could use some advice/suggestions

Normal manual pedal ratios are in the 6-7:1 range, while power assist ratios are 3-4:1. You are working with the wrong ratio, so first, correct the ratio before any other alterations, by shortening...

Re: Bleeding brakes-pedal pressure problem. Could use some advice/suggestions

Your pictured residual check valve is only found in single circuit masters, internally at the bore's end. Dual master residual valves are much smaller and located as you stated behind the tube seats.

Re: Bleeding brakes-pedal pressure problem. Could use some advice/suggestions

Your pictures don't show the master cylinder push rod connection to the pedal, but pre-'39 pedals "pulled" cables from the top of the lower pedal, while later hydraulic pedals "pushed" the master...

Re: Bleeding brakes-pedal pressure problem. Could use some advice/suggestions

It really isn't a good idea to pinch shut brake hoses, as unseen damage can occur. The proper way is to plug the line or port with steel/brass fittings.
