Re: Where does your 53 Ford run?
It was hitting but now it's not. I had to run a shorter belt on the fan. The original top tank did not have any over hang but the new Champion radiator from Jegs does. Also I replaced the thermostats...

Re: power valve
I just went through troubles with my 94. I sent my carb to Charlie. Got it back last week and the car runs great.

Re: Where does your 53 Ford run?

Re: Where does your 53 Ford run?
