Default Re: 1940 Ford restoration

Seth, If you are going to earn your Dearborn, you might take a look at your transmission. I tried earlier to drop a hint that a more critical look at your project might be more useful than the flattery. Well none took the challenge, and you still don't show a 1940 transmission behind the engine. The later trans may not be detectable by the misleading part number on the rear of the case. From the top the venting screams the difference. Don't fall in love with that 01A. Good Luck: Fred A

I've had some hints. They were private. I will fix a few items. Some of them I need to find the parts yet.
