Re: dual master cylinder

Gonna have to disagree with some of the above math.

1" master cylinder piston travels 1.27" for 1 c.i. of fluid movement.

1 1/16" master cylinder piston travels 1.12" for 1 c.i. fluid...

Re: dual master cylinder

I agree the pedal travel will be longer with a 1" master, but can be used safely with stock Ford pedals if care is taken to minimize floor covering below/around the pedal, and pedal arm bumper...

Re: Which intake to clear generator?

Any "regular dual" intake, early or late, will allow the stock generator location. What intake are you using now, early or late?

Re: Remote oil filter- fill before install

I knew Mark for 25 years and think your remarks about him are totally out of place. He isn't around to explain his beliefs, so lets keep the "I know a guy" crap out of here.

Re: Remote oil filter- fill before install

Mark always advised me not to pre-fill the filter with his full flow system, and frankly I never saw much time difference with oil pressure rise either way. What I tried years ago is remove the...

Re: Mad electrical

I contacted about Mark 20 years ago and learned about differences between 1st and 2nd gen Ford and GM alternators. I also used much of his rear battery location wiring ideas in my '32 and '40. He...

Re: Newbe question on clutch pedal travel

I would measure the actual throw-out bearing-to-pressure plate clearance by removing the starter plate. You only need about .100" clearance, which should result close to 1" pedal free travel,...

Re: Motor City Flathead - Mark Kirby Camshaft Specs

Tatum was a competitive engine builder. IIRC, Crower ground most if not all MCF cams.

Re: 8BA oil pan rear sump mount?

The '48-'52 Ford trucks with the common 3" cast iron 1/2 bell had a rear sump oil pan with a threaded bracket on the lower rear of the sump. Two lower bolts connected the bell through the starter...

Re: Bleed down on vacuum advance question

Keep in mind that diaphragm only works with about a 6" max vacuum level from the loadomatic, so try testing at a lower value.

Re: Distributor for -52 8ba ???

There are two styles of 8BA distributors, aluminum and cast iron, and they use different front covers, so you need to match what your engine has.

Re: Need 1940 Coupe seat removal advice

Re: Motor City Flathead question

Mark generally stamped an engine build number on top of the block between the heads and intake, so look for a MCF followed by a number.
