Re: Too much radiator pressure

Yeah, that's pretty much the question I was initially looking for an answer for, but I threw out more info that caused more questions.

After a closer inspection of the head, I think what I am...

Re: Too much radiator pressure

No, that flathead has always ran cool. The aluminum radiator came with the 16lb. I bought the 7lb because it was the first one that came up on the list. It appears that O'Reilly has the 7004,...

Re: Too much radiator pressure

It is a late model deep cap. Murray 7007 is what I bought this morning to replace the 16lb.

Re: '40 Ford coupe rear windshield seals

Kube,

I put my rear windows in 20 years ago with Carpenter rubber and they were too big that long ago. One would think that they would have corrected the problem since then.

I've been pulling...

Re: Porters or Smithy's ?

I was cheap and went with a set of Walker Glasspack Mufflers - 24041, on my '40 stake truck, with 1 3/4" tailpipes. After about 5000 miles, I'm still quite pleased. I don't have any drone going...

Re: OLD Offy heads - 18 mm Spark Plugs hitting valves

Walt,

There's only one with steel insert. It's "#2. The others are threads in the aluminum heads.

The biggest issue that I had with the "new" plugs is that that I don't own a 7/8" long well...

Re: OLD Offy heads - 18 mm Spark Plugs hitting valves

Well...chalk that up for me not looking at the head and just taking the plug up to the store to get the same thing that was in it.

Come to find out, after looking at it, and comparing other plugs...

Re: OLD Offy heads - 18 mm Spark Plugs hitting valves

That is what was in it. I looked at it, this afternoon, and think that I should be able to use some flat crush washer style. Still on the hunt for the right part number to compare with.

OLD Offy heads - 18 mm Spark Plugs hitting valves

I have been monkeying around with my "spare" flathead, preparing to fire it yesterday. It's a 59 block, with a 3 3/8" bore and 4" stroke, and a small lift cam of about .3125 lift. Wearing an OLD...

Re: Wiring diagram

My favorite part of that wiring diagram is the "Traffic Beam" and "Country Beam" designation for what we normally now refer to as "hi and low" beams.

Re: 40 color

Just so you are aware, Joe...I have said that if I ever wind up with a '40 sedan, it will more than likely be Cloud Mist Grey.

I'm a fan. ;-)

Re: 40 color

Oh, and I agree that looks more like Cloud Mist Grey. I like both. My truck started it's life Acadia green, and the insides still have that color.

Re: 1940 Ford Pick up Cowl Vent Knob

My understanding is that the sand colored knobs were '40, black ones were '41.

Re: 12 volt question and dust clouds

I think that he's referring to the dust clouds that he's busy making running around on his property. Looks like he's having some fun!

Re: thermostats

After reading Old Henry's testing thread, and installing a freshly repaired radiator, I put stats back into my 221. I used his wire trick to keep them held into place.

Re: Secret to acorn nuts?

Interested to see your solution, because the ones that I got from Speedway are too tight to fit without the use of semi-destructive install methods.

Re: 12 volt question and dust clouds

GB,

When I did the gauges in my coupe and truck, I made some of these reducers. They go one per gauge.

Re: Extra Front Coil?

Sounds like a home built suspension mod to me. I've never seen anything like that on anything that I have messed with.
