Thread sealer would have solved the problem but most likely after a few heat cycles, it will stop as Kube stated.

Re: Tap rod bearings into shape??

Re: '36 distributor rebuild questions

From my view, I believe you are safe with your gap. What you have to watch out for is the rotor hitting the inner caps when using reproduction parts as you are doing.

As far as the vacuum plunger...

Re: Which motor is it?

It is possible that the engine could be any of the ‘40 or ‘41 variations because fire engines were special built vehicles. Back in the day they used what they had on hand. It still could be original...

Re: Which motor is it?

The only indication that I can see that it is possibly a ‘39-‘40 engine is the spacing between front timing cover and the block. It looks like the block may pass the “pencil” test. This means you...

Re: 37 Ford Dash Light Switch

Re: What cranks are these?

Seeing the Model A rear bumper brackets, I would say they are a pile of used stock A crankshafts. I don’t see any with B style counterweights or any that have been modified. You should be able to...

Re: Ford 1935 - 1940 Open Car Door Latch

Closed car latches do not look like open car latches. Not even close.

Re: Ford 1935 - 1940 Open Car Door Latch

That latch is a left, but I also believe it is the last version of that style of latch (ie most likely’40). I rebuild the earlier version of those latches because I’m a purest when it comes to parts...

Re: Fluid for Sioux valve surfacer

Re: 1937/1938 Ford Hood Ornament question

The shaft on a '38 standard hood ornament is longer than the '37. Even the plate on the bottom of the shaft which engages the stud is slightly different. They will not interchange.

Re: Fluid for Sioux valve surfacer

What you will get with limited use of the machine with water soluble oil is a film floating on the water. It can be stirred and will dissolve but that’s a pain. With use, you will get a buildup of...
