'40 Rear End Rebuild
I'm going to rebuild my '40 coupe rear end.
All the info I've found doesn't talk about setting the pinion in or out to get a good tooth contact pattern with the ring gear.
Should I expect the new...

Re: Columbia in a 1941 Ford pickup
I have one in my '40 pickup and it works great.
Width is OK as pointed out but the drive shaft is too long.

Re: Model T front axle
I'm thinking about making a bench for my yard out of unusable T parts.

Re: Header and intake combo question
