Re: Does this sound like rod knocking?

I took the fan belt off, same knocking.
Next step maybe drop the oil pan? Is this going to be fixable without removing the engine ya think?

Re: Troubles installing 6v pos ground turn signals

I was trying to hook this up with driving/fog lights, but you are probably correct that they would draw too much for the flasher. I'm currently waiting on some sockets to arrive that I will bench...

Re: Troubles installing 6v pos ground turn signals

I double checked everything and as far as I can tell it's wired according to the diagram. When you say I need to run a seperate wire for the brake light that's disconnected, I'm a little confused....

Re: Hot Water Heater bad core?

These look really hard/expensive to repair, they are soldered together around the whole core.

Re: Parkling light stuck on, Headlights not working

ahh ok thanks, ya the horn rod did get tweaked a bit when I first tried to take it out the wrong way. So maybe it's either that or something with that switch.

Re: 1939 Ford Flathead idle problem

It's a Holly 94 Carb, original jets I think. I've gone from 1.5 turns to higher/lower on both with the same idle stall out issue. The air cleaner is clean and has a new filter. It was roughly the...

Re: 1939 Ford Flathead idle problem

Re: 1939 Ford exhaust options

Thanks for the info RKS,
I would prefer duals as well. But I don't have a lift I'd be doing everything on my back.
