Re: Brake drums
It matters for unsprung weight, would think that was what Ford had in mind.

Re: Trouble shoot 1950 8Ba initial start up Help
The compression numbers don't look that bad for unseated rings, so that should rule out any valve issues. So about has to be an ignition problem. Can you post a couple of photos of the distributor in...

Re: The question of the day?
The coil will work reversed (but weaked), the generator won't work. Did it start? Just attempting to start it shouldn't do much. Install the battery correctly and see if it will start and run.

Re: Trouble shoot 1950 8Ba initial start up Help
Before you start taking things apart, need to check what you are doing. A compression gauge will give you a good indication if the valve clearance is anywhere near correct. If there is a spark and...

Re: Steering wheel shim
It is almost always a file size issue if you having a problem. Most camera/phone images are way to large to post and need to be reduced to below around 585KB.

Re: 39 No fire at the plugs
I know, agree, but doesn't sound like how he has it wired. He keeps referring to a negative to the (-) side of the coil. But no idea what he is considering a negative.

Re: No door key
A locksmith should be able to rekey the tumblers in your door locks to match the ignition key. Phil would know.
