Default Re: Manually cranking 1940 Ford V8 /engine in car?

Gentlemen, thank you all for the responses. It is appreciated since I am just learning and what to do the work myself. I jumped ahead trying to use the crank ratchet nut. I have put back the fan and was able to crank the engine but like raising the rear wheel to turn the engine slowly in high gear to try and find TDC. May try bent brass rod or pressure/vacuum method before trying to remove head. Will communicate with Bubba on any details of the bent brass rod.
