Re: 8ba crank in A block
So, if I understand correctly, you're suggesting that those of us that have taken the time & savvy to research, learn, write, speak and use the CORRECT/ACCEPTED terminology and nomenclature are actually the bozos that need to get off the pot and quit wasting YOUR time in THIS hobby? Coop . |

Re: 8ba crank in A block
I think there are a lot of magazine terms like tranny, potato, helmet and a few others that do not agree with original Ford parts nomenclature found in original reference books.

Re: 8ba crank in A block
You can call it "A" and you can call it "RAY", but don't call it shevrolay...

Re: 8ba crank in A block
if you have collected that much information don't you think you need to spread it around without so much consternation? I have used what I have learned to further what LITTLE knowledge I have to a younger generation, I am helping a new generation learn about these old Fords, have a 40 year old building a 49 custom with a Merc flathead, I also am helping a 45 year old build a family owned 40 tudor--this is the car that the engine will be going in.. All I asked was for a reminder of problems and what I got was a lecture about nomenclature. Sorry but this is supposed to be a fun hobby not a challenge to ones area terminology

Re: 8ba crank in A block
the only help I got, as I was reminded, came from Tim Ayers about the bearings, thanks Tim!

Re: 8ba crank in A block
I have to say that I'm with "DD Coopman" on this.
I do have to say that I was a little taken aback by the O/P's response to those trying to help him. |

Re: 8ba crank in A block
Wanting to stay neutral, I resisted but here it is. Playing around with suspension, tire size, cooling systems, what carburetor, etc. can be part of a hobby. When helping a younger guy get into an antique motor, bottom end with antique parts, there can be no room for error. If it ain't right, it won't float.
As far as magazine terms, that I sometimes find humorous, realize that a lot of the guys writing in the industry today ( no disrespect ) were not around when a days work required work
