Re: 1936 speedo to 5 speed tranny

Re: Block cleaning and magnaflux
I had my '36 Lb machined at Auto Value in Little Falls. The guy that did it has passed away, but it's possible he trained one of the other guys in the shop. When I was there they had multiple...

Re: Stubborn Starter Drive
This won't help with the removal, but double check the bendix when you do it get it out--it probably isn't toast. A while back the bendix crapped on my neighbors '56 Lincoln (same bendix setup). He...

Re: 1936 lower radiator hoses installation

Re: 1935-36 car windshield frame
To clarify: all the rust through mentioned is in the side channel that the drain hole is in, NOT the faces. All faces are smooth except as noted--two screw holes in one and a small dent in...

Re: 36 Can't Stop The Oil Pan Drain Plug Drip
The problem with using anything on the outside is the oil that is still in the leak--you can't get the outside area oil free so nothing will stick. It would take years of sitting with an empty oil...

Re: 1936 Ford Roadster - Grant Fleming, Canada
