Re: 1941 pickup 4-speed speedometer gears

Thinking about it further the gear needs to be all the way back so it keeps the roller bearing located properly in the torque tube. It might be best to bite the bullet and pull the rear back and fit...

Re: 1941 pickup 4-speed speedometer gears

The gear might drive ok if slid back to it's natural position. I looked at the cut of the helix and I think it would drive the speedo al right in forward motion. If reversing, though, the gear would...

Re: Leaking Fuel Pump

This is normal. (For me at least). I use a push electric pump to prime after sitting. I often see the stock pump leaking. I just check the screws and leave it. After a while the top gasket and...

Re: Holley 94 Carb on 34 engine

Is it on the 34 intake manifold? Does that manifold have a hole in it on the carb mounting face? That hole is for manifold heat when using a stromberg. 94s won't work with that hole there.
Just a...

Re: What did you do today that was flathead V8 related?

I refurbed a stock exhaust manifold with new studs and replaced a cracked one on my 33 coupe. I cut down some head studs and recut the threads. Came out well.

Re: Difference between car and pickup crossmember?

Pretty sure the 1936 car and pickup front crossmembers are the same. There is a difference in the body mounts that are on the side of the frame, as in none on a pickup but the basic frame is the...

Re: 2x2 on 8BA flathead

I run twin 94s on an 8ba manifold. This is on a 239 59A in my 33 coupe. I have stock jets which are 50s or 51s. I run stock power valves too.

It runs great.

I would suggest you try stock...

Re: Interior trim screws

Screws tend not to have changed over the years. If you have a pattern measure the diameter. Look up a chart to find the screw number. Measure the length. Then search for a screw that length and...

Re: Waking up a Sleeping Beauty, 1934 5 window

"The list never ends but I can hop in it and go anywhere locally right now."

That's great to hear!

Just try and tackle one thing at a time and not get overwhelmed.

Re: 1936 Brake Drums

Do they NEED turning? When brake drums are not easily replaceable turning should only be done as a last resort. I'm not a betting man but would wonder if Ford applied a max oversize when those brakes...

Re: Can you ID this air filter?

I don't know exactly what it came from but by coincidence it looks like the one I am using on my 41 pickup.

Re: 1941 front parking brake cable ends fastener, where?

Yeah, Huey, the clip just holds things in position, the brake application loads are in the opposite direction.

Re: 1937 Ford rear axle ratio

You turn the hub exactly twice.
The other hub is locked, it does not turn.
The number of...

Re: '41 pickup accelerator rod

Just a suggestion.
Put a kink in the rod so the effective length is shorter.
Set the length (by bending) so the pedal is about 1/4" off the floor at WOT. The "give" in the rod and sprung ends will...

Re: Artillery Wheel ID needed please.

Presumably these changeover wheels would accommodate the raised nubs on the 28-35 hubs. Interesting.

Re: 1932 5-window coupe door guts sequence

Hi Neal. If it is the same as my 32 2 door sedan the screw hole is for a 12-24 screw that goes into a captive nut in the bottom of the rear window channel. The top of the channel has a single screw...
