What did you do today that was flathead V8 related?

[Mart]

Nice job, Rock.

Changed the oil & filter, installed new plugs, cut excess park brake cable( had to make my own rear cable set), cleaned off the auto trans id plate so I can order a new pan gasket. Started the engine and let it warm up. Everything done in the yard, up on Jack stands. Got my exercise, but my wife says I don't walk enough... I'll be 80 this fall. Ha Ha!! JPL

The Luray pre-war swap meet is just over a week away. I've been working hard to get a batch of rebuilt generators and refurbished cutouts ready to bring. I just started on another batch of cutouts tonight.

This is one of the best small swap meets on the east coast. So who is going? I'll have my table set up at Wick's spot along the treeline. Stop by and say high.

Nobody working on a flathead V8 lately? I just got back from Luray where I sold some '35 Ford parts and refurbished original Ford cutouts.

Just put some new front wheel cylinders on my 41 pickup. Rear ones will be done when the new ones get here.

Last week I helped swap the banjo section, ring & pinion, on a 40 pickup axle. The pins holding the coupler to the driveshaft and pinion had snapped due to worn out splines (the pins were taking the driving load and failed). We replaced the 4.11 with worn out splines for 3.78 with nice splines, good teeth, and nice bearings.

I just posted a new video about installing and seating generator brushes. The example is for a model A generator, but the same process applies to flathead V8s. Some of you may find it helpful. There are many other generator related videos on my youtube channel as well.

What about a 1941 4cyl....is that allowed???

May I ask what you sprayed on the engine (looks like 2 different things) prior to applying the finish coat? Thanks.
