Borg Warner OD Relay Gap(1953)
What is the correct point gap for the 1953 Ford (W10) OD Relay Point. Mine is .050 but may be skipping occasionally. Not stated in the Ford Shop Manual
Thanks Much, Don

Re: mystery switch

Re: 1948 F1 production no's
KIWI,
I know that 1949 F-! production started on 6-10-48 and ran thru 11-15-49. Also '49 parts start with 1948 number(8). Ford expected the '49's to all commence in 1948.

Re: Identify this Hood Ornament
'51 Looks very similar to the 1953 Ford ornament except yours has a cockpit and larger wing tip tanks shaped like a jet engine minus the large base.

Re: 1955 F100 vin paint color
The '55 truck and car color code for Goldenrod Yellow is L (M20j-358) which may be the L in your frame code, however, there should be a data tag on your glove box door as Herman mentioned.
