Re: One Head stud too short each bank follow-up

Good to know. I learned something. I would guess that started in 1937??

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

A great example....this was just a few weeks ago. On the EFV8 Club website there was a beautiful 1933 Ford Fordor for sale. Gorgeous car. An older restoration that was very well maintained. It was...

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

I'm not sure the market is that big. How many folks are interested in authentic upholstery materials for their car? How many folks are still interested in pre-war cars in their original form? Most of...

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.

Re: Solenoid clicking. Won't start

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