Re: muffler

Mine came with what I call glass packs, not ID on them. I'll see how they sound first. Well first will be starting the rebuilt engine with no mufflers.

Re: Rewiring headlights on a 1950 Ford Tudor

Re: Installing a wiring harness

The engine out of my 52 Ford was Canadian. I wanted to paint it Canadian color. Since I was not looking for the "truth", I went with Cummins Beige. Here is a photo.
