Re: Model A Marine Engine?
A friend of mine had a Grand Banks trawler from the '50's. It was equipped with two Lehman diesels of about 100 hp each. They were good powerplants.

Re: Model A no spark
You probably have a very poor connection somewhere, probably the switch or a ground. Try bypassing the switch like someone suggested, with a jumper directly to the battery, or to a known good...

Great truck! It appears to be a flathead V8, does that make it a BB or a V8?

Re: Looking for a machine shop
VicPiano of Tampa/Orlando (Cigar City Flatheads) might be a good contact. He's apparently not an engine builder as such but probably knows good people to recommend.

Re: 1950 Ford kingpin lock pin

Of course you will need to remove the nut first, which should be on the front side of the kingpin. It should be obvious at that point.

Re: Ford Script Battery
OldGold,
You might do a search on Fordbarn. Someone did a DIY install in a original battery case a few months back. That is if you can find a case. They should be available.
