Re: Hirsch Auto Auction Sale

Tubman I agree. The hard core folks will step up. The casual person finds an alternative. I'm digressing but this is a valid point that affects our selling of parts, services and cars. Everyone is...

Re: Hirsch Auto Auction Sale

Yes, age. That brings up another good point. There are lots of small businesses out there owned by folks who want to retire. There are little buyers for these businesses. Young folks can't afford to...

Re: Hirsch Auto Auction Sale

It getting to be where sourcing and installing upholstery is more expensive than a paint job.

Re: Texas Hwy Patrol Officer Bulldogging a car

Dave, keep them coming. The photos are great. It's early Ford. There are a few crabby folks you'll never please and I wouldn't worry about them.

Re: Oil leak

Pulling the engine won't be as much trouble as you think. I had the engine, transmission and rear end out of my '37 tudor in about 6 hours. I was working by myself until I needed a hand for a few...

Re: Texas Hwy Patrol Officer Bulldogging a car

It's a '35 Ford Standard Fordor. Not model A but early Ford and a neat picture. I thinks it's okay.

Re: 59-AB engine components

Egge for pistons and rings. If it's a stock engine, vavles and springs from the usual sources. I like 3rd Gen Automotive but I'm biased. I used NOS bearings on my last build.

Re: Relocate battery in ‘35

What about the trunk? Requires minimal butchery and some longer cables.

Re: 6volt led headlights

I never had any luck with them. He kept insisting that my Ford headlight sockets were Plymouth. I finally just gave up. He also wasn't much help ordering.

Re: rebuild engine

I always like to rebuild my own. I take the parts to a machine shop and I put it together. That way I know what I get. There many "rebuilt" engines out there with a valve job and new rings.

Re: starting problem???

Does it act like it's a rich fuel mixture after you re-start? Is your power valve leaking?

Re: Gas under carbs on manifold

Jet screws. They could have put a patent on that leak.

Most of the time you can't get any better than the original Ford parts.

Re: Opinion Re Differential Gear Ratio

I like what Brent said. My 1937 Ford Tudor has a 85 hp V8, 16 in wheels and a 3.25 rear gear. It will drive down the highway very well. I'm in flat land country, no mountains.

Re: Changing of the Guard. A new breed of car nuts.

I agree. It takes me back to a time when there was some romance to early motoring. Now it's hurry up, cut someone off and flip them the bird.

You can run a Ford 6v starter on 12v without problems.

Re: Solenoid clicking. Won't start

Did you try rocking the car back and forth in 3rd gear?
