Re: front shocks
IMO: Empty the old fluid (if there is any) and refill with Marvel Mystery Oil and then empty and refill with Jack fluid. Work the shock back and forth to the extremes in each step.

Re: Fuel pump stand - what's up?
There should be 4 baffles in the metal fill tube. Get rid of the blockage since it will block oil fill and it is not supposed to be there.

Re: starter solenoid
No starter solenoid on the 32-35 Fords. The 32 horn appears to get its battery power from the light switch using the wiring diagram above and the ground path is from the light switch also.

Re: Transmission Oil

Re: Oil pump & pan?
Should be less than 3/4" to the pick up . Your photos appear correct. Can you tell if it is touching the pan? Your pan doesn't look like 36.

Re: Harmon Collins build thread ...
You can grind off every other lobe of the cam but where do you start, what lobe? So be careful. You may have to modify the points slightly to get the wires to attach with the lock washers and nuts....

Re: Lost voltage to coil while cranking
Charge up your battery and take it to your local auto parts store to have it load checked. It's free of charge. Many battery's fail under loaded conditions only.
