Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification

The rear mount for the Model B transmission was a flat plate that bolted to the "K" member in the '32 frame. The center was isolated in rubber to reduce vibration.

Re: Model B Block Boss on side of block

Ford engineers were developing a vacuum assisted clutch and this was where the vacuum cylinder mounted. The unit never made it to production but a lot of motors were produced with this boss. The...

Re: 33 turn signals

I always liked fog lights, either on the bumper bracket or on the bumper.

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification

I doubt a '33-'34 engine was pulled from a '32. Here is a picture of the front cover for a '33-'34. Note that the mount for the generator sets the generator back towards the rear of the car to...

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification

I did exactly what you are asking about several years ago. The engine in my ’31 RDPU was tired and need to be replaced. I had a recently rebuilt “B” engine under the bench. I kept the Model A...

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification

Unfortunately the "engine" number appears on the flywheel housing and he didn't say he had that.

Re: Fans

The "Green Bible" was the parts list used by the counter men in the parts department in the fifties showing the early parts. Ford assigned part number B or 18 for all parts used in 1932. This...

Re: Block Restamp

Be very careful on this. If your vehicle is registered with your engine number that doesn't match your title and you change it you can get in a lot of trouble with the authorities.

Re: Merc 1939 axle in a 32 frame need help with torque tube lenght

Remember you will need to rework the spring to get it to fit the '32 crossmember. Note curve of '32 spring shown in the photo.

If you are running fenders you will probably find that the rear end is too wide.

Re: '40 brake lamp switch / master cylinder issue?

Silicone brake fluid goes through switches fast and going through 3 switches makes it a logical possibility. It is the first thing I thought of and I would have posted it but someone else already...

Re: 32 b frame for v8

First I want to be sure I understand the question. You are looking for the difference between the 1928-1931 Model A frame and the 1932 Model B frame? You intend to use a flathead V8 engine? Either...

Re: "Special" Intake Manifold?

I wonder if he has a "B" carb to match? That would explain why it was added.

Re: Next step - brake lines...30 Tudor - Guidance?

The pictures show the way I set up my '32. It involved a piece of angle iron and the original Ford fittings. First the left and then the right side.

Re: A newbie needs help!

Interesting. When was the last time your car was at the DMV? Then maybe it was just the difference between two DMV locations, I used the one in Culver City in 1972 for my '31 RDDPU.

Re: Next step - brake lines...30 Tudor - Guidance?

I would use all 1/4 inch lines and original (or reproduction of original) fittings so you don't get involved with adapters. Look at the fittings and routing for a '39 Ford. Can you post a photo of...
