Re: Columbia two speed differentials
Your '41 most likely has a 3.78 gear ratio. It seems like it's not happy at 55 mph but it can handle it with ease. I have ran a 3.78 with a stock 59A engine at 65 mph with no problems.
I do...

Re: Where’s my water going?
This is a good thought. I have put together some tight engines and when they properly break in they run really well. As long as it's not dangeroulsy hot or blowng anti freeze all over the car, keep...

Re: Car Is Shrinking........
The first time I drove a '32 Ford I was amazed at how much better the car drove compared to my '31 Victoria. The comfort, ride, steering, gear shifting, and power of the V8 engine is a night and day...

Re: Where’s my water going?
One quart isn't a lot. You might be pushing that out the overflow at higher speeds. If you are only adding 4 cups that should not cause an overheat. When you say it overheats, does it boil over or...

Re: Car Is Shrinking........
I can't tell you about the number of 33 or 34 Victoria's built with a 4 cylinder. I can tell you that you will want a V8. The V8 engine makes the car so much more enjoyable. By the way, any 33-34...

Re: "Special" Intake Manifold?
This is correct as posted on the V8 Forum. The port on the right was for the vacuum assisted clutch. David is the go to guy for all 1932-1934 Ford information.

Re: Coil adapter issue
I get it. I'd rather see a Ford coil on the distributor. If nothing else it just looks good.

Re: Swapping Engines
I really don't think you'll be dissapointed with a 24 stud, 221ci, 1939 engine or a 59A. I have a '39 pickup in stock form. It drives really nice and has plenty of power with a 3.78 rearend. I...

Re: Coil adapter issue
You could take an original Ford coil and send it to Skip Haney and he will rebuild it with new internals and 12 volt. Then run a stock fan.
Hopefully the prior owner didn't install an electric...

Re: Swapping Engines
I would prefer a 59A. Same power out of a stock engine but it will look like it belongs in the truck. Also the water pumps and heads won't pose a fitment issue with a 59A. The 59A is a direct...
