Re: Radio Polarity Help Needed

Re: Firewall vs Dash

I wasn't looking for generic definitions. I was looking for FoMoCo definition. I believe all Model T's had "dash's" behind the engine and I believe Ford still called the "firewall" a dash through...

In my last post I discovered the proper terminology for the top of the firewall in my 28 Roadster is called a "dash". For the past 65 plus years of my life a "dash" was the interior part of a car...

Re: Model A standard registration in Pa.
