Re: 1935 Coupe help
Fast54, Those are all valid questions, but all are of secondary importance to the question of valid title to the car. Check the numbers and take a walk if they don’t match.

Re: Dash color
Fast54, I agree with the others, that's a beautiful coupe. As to the value, I wouldn't consider pricing any car that I couldn't verify serial numbers. Your registration is definitely for a 1935 Ford,...

Re: Ford 59 Carb
Chandler-Groves, Ford, and Holley all were manufacturers of the 94 carburetors. The model numbers on the driver’s side differed from year to year, but the internals are the same. 91-99; 21A; 59; 8BA,...

Re: Headlight help
Just being tight is not a good indicator. It could be corroded under the nut. Also, the headlight bucket may not be grounded properly to the fender, which itself may not be properly grounded to the...

Re: Headlight help
Oldbugger gave a good answer, I'll just add that the crossover bullet connector may offer too much resistance.

Vern, With that announcement, I'm afraid you're not going to win any popularity contests in here. :(

Re: Horn relay sparks/install question
There should be no draw until you push the horn button, which supplies the ground to activate the primary circuit. You may have a frayed horn wire in your steering shaft tube.
There also may be a...

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
The "raised deck" is a semantics issue. The deck is at the same height as any other flathead deck, it's only the rough casting that was adjusted a bit thinner at the area surrounding the deck. There...

Re: Front window drainage - 37

Re: Bumper Hitch / Mullins
Also, yes, a loaded trailer is more stable, and the load should be as far forward as possible.
Watch out for railroad tracks on those back roads! I failed to slow for one and got airborne!

Re: Bumper Hitch / Mullins
One concern: If your bumper is a reproduction, those bumpers are not spring steel as the originals were, and will bend easily. To determine if it is original, look at the backside of the bumper to...

Re: Help Identify V8
1936 water pumps in the heads were the last of that configuration. Block mounted pumps began in 1937 and continued for the rest of flathead production. Either way works well, any cooling issues best...

Re: Vintage oil filter replacement
From your picture, it looks to be a WIX and likely has a number on the part itself. NAPA carries WIX. The original Ford filter was similarly horizontal like that, but isn't the one pictured. There...

Re: 39 deluxe cat whiskers
I used to own a '39 DeLuxe myself, and must admit, I didn't know either till I saw the picture on Post #3 above. Wish I had that '39 again!

Re: Help Identify V8
Jimmy, perhaps I didn't make my post clear. Your engine is a 37-38 which was supplied as a short block replacement for your truck. Your bolt-ons such as the heads and manifolds are from the original...

Re: Help Identify V8
That is a ‘37 or ‘38 engine. No other 21 stud had front block water pump location. The block off plates were a ford part available to provide newer short blocks for older bolt-ons.
