Re: Flathead & transmission won't sit back far enough?

I looked at one of my 35-36 frames and the transmission mount on the frame is different then the 37 frame. I learned something new about old Fords again!

Re: Flathead & transmission won't sit back far enough?

I just double checked and the 37 mount is different. Part number 78-7085, Van Pelt Sales has a photo of it.
Apparently ford changed the frame mounting location? Or maybe your rear axel is moved...

Re: Flathead & transmission won't sit back far enough?

I think that is the early mount for 35 and 36. I think the 37 mount is different?

Re: 1937 Cad/LaSalle Trans

Does anyone know a machine shop that could shorten a Lasell main shaft and cut the Ford spline on it for the Ford U joint?
I am wanting to use the Ford torque tube set up.

Re: Cadillac 331 in a Ford

Thanks for the tip. He did not have the motor mounts. But he listed an original Cadillac 331 bellhousing. Since I am installing a Laselle transmission, this was a rare and great find.

Re: dead spot on starter and sticking bendix

I had a car many years ago that would not crank at all, and then it would crank just fine. I finally found that the armature when in a certain position would be shorted.

Holley 94 4 bolt base?

I have a couple Holley 94 carbs with a 4 bolt base instead of the 3 bolt base.
Do you know where the 4 bolt bases were used? I would like to obtain a couple more 4 bolt bases.
Thank you!
