Re: 39 Ford deluxe can't remove cam
The pressed on gear does not have a retainer to remove. Suggest drill small holes on the gear where it attaches to the cam to release the broken cam gear.

Re: Nice forty Ford
Both the heavy duty and the accessory oil bath air cleaners catch a lot of dirt! Plus they add a very light vapor of oil to the air.

Re: 1936 driver side door latch
The clip you need is not an original part of the latch. It is a repair part, the original was part of the housing that has broken off. So the repair part will not be found in the bottom of the door.
