Re: engine is a quandary
Howdy! Glad to hear you're getting some use out of that T9, I'm very much enjoying the lite-duty 3-speed I put in my F1. The transmission in my 31 HotRod is a BW T5 from a late 80s Chevy S-10 pickup....

Re: engine is a quandary
I've never tinkered on anything but the 8BA style flatead, I have to admit I like the look of the earlier engines distributor and upper rad hose placement. The 8BA is more more suited to the D-I-Yer

Re: engine is a quandary
I'm a do-it-yourselfer when at all possible. I pressure washed it first, I have hot water available outside which helps a lot. Then scrub brushes and detergent, blow off with compressed air and hose...

Re: engine is a quandary
It's taken a while but I finally have this C8BA back on the road. It got the old do-it-yourself rebuild. Taper was minimal so left the bore stock. I replaced all the valves, and installed Johnson...

Re: Brake Conundrum
I'd like to see pictures of how the combination of master cylinder, cross shaft, and pedal work together.

Re: Brake Conundrum
I suppose it matters what you want to end up with. If it's just a driver then finishing the hydraulic conversion is ok. Either can be made to function well. Any idea what the juice brakes came off of?

Re: fuel pump question
I live in an agricultural area where non-ethanol fuel is readily available, It's all I use... but it still sounds like a food idea. I think that's what killed this one.

fuel pump question
I was hoping to rebuild this fuel-pump. The valves seem to be pressed in? Is this type still rebuild-able?

Re: Fan Belt Tension Adjuster....
I have to agree here. As long as you have a cherry-picker style engine hoist readily available, it's very simple to roll it over to the vehicle, put a strap ( I use an old piece of ratchet-strap)...

Re: 1952 8Ba flathead wot stay running
Probably one power valve and one spark control valve in the rebuild kit, they aren't interchangeable.

Re: Dead
If you can check the battery voltage while you try to crank it, or just turn on the headlights, I bet the battery drops to zero. If the battery voltage stays up, then has to be a bad connection.

That looks great! I've heard of that method of painting before but you really did some nice work.
