Re: Are 1940 and 1941 choke and throttle linkages the same?

Re: 40 Sedan Deluxe Speaker install - No studs?

Robert: Don 't make the mistake of drilling any holes in your dash for the speaker. You may consider mounting the speaker somewhere else. Perhaps under the glove box.

Re: Nice forty Ford

Air cleaner is not original.

Re: pertronix distributor

Here's an 8BA intake but I just realized the vacuum port below the throttle plates is for the vacuum wipers. Could that be used for the Pertronix instead of for the wipers?

Re: What water pumps do I need?

Yup. 8RT is what you need. I used them in a 40 Ford. Had them rebuilt by Skip Haney using the spiral impellors.

Thanks Pete. Sadly, most of the WW II vets are no longer with us.

I wonder if this day is even mentioned in high school history classes anymore?
