Hi Coop!

"Now, if only someone could talk Ryan into issuing a STICKY up top with a dedicated link to EACH of these extremely valuable tech sources, available to everyone and within easy reach, FOREVER!"

Exactly my thoughts when I was figuring out how to post the file this morning.

Glenn

This took MANY hours to compile

Glenn ..... 'Barners owe you a gi-hugic "THANK YOU"!

YOU are one of the few here on The 'Barn that has it in ya to step-up to the plate when these types of projects need "doing". I can only begin to imagine how many hours you put into making all of this happen. Again, KUDOS to your dedication!!

Now, back to our regular programming schedule!

Coop

I've added "Flathead Engine Identification Version" under "Engine Building" and James Leis update to the Compression Tables.

The update in Dropbox is here below. This replaces the link shown in post #19 above.

This is a huge contribution. Thank you Glenn for making this great source of early Ford information available. And, of course, long distance Thanks to Rumbleseat for sharing way back. Excellent!

Glenn - had a great time with Rumbleseat when he came west and stopped by my shop.
On a business trip to Denver, I met up with him and his friends at their weekly breakfast.
We drove to and from my hotel in the roadster, in the winter. It was fun.
Appreciate you taking the time to pull and the info together.

Those in the northeast have been hit with some cold temps. Hope you guys are doing well.

Sounds like great fun wga!

Yes, we've been getting hammered with 50-60 mph winds and deluges of rain. No huge snow yet. Snowing now with 3 to 6" expected today.

Thanks a ton. This is essential for anyone with an old Ford. Your efforts are much appreciated.

The Early Ford V-8 Club has a great book on the evolution of the flathead from '32-53. It can be purchased on the club's website. www.earlyfordv8.org. the book is $60.

Glenn, your resurrection of this resource is greatly appreciated. My RG had reluctantly removed it from our website due to a broken link, and now is back to stay thanks to your efforts: goldengatev8.org

Good to hear this Alan!

I sent a PM to Ryan yesterday asking him to make a "sticky" of both documents so hoping for the best. No response to this earlier attempt:

I also want to publicly thank Glenn for his efforts, he has put a lot of time into the pdf combining a lot of very good flathead Ford V8 information.

Do you think your regional group would swap out my old engine identification pdf for Glenn's updated one? I much prefer Glenn's version.

It's there for the taking. Easier than trying to find this thread once it's buried.
Ryan! Where are you?

Thanks, but you did all the early work in documenting all the changes.
I've been working on capturing our own literature and pictures so they're not lost forever with changes or terminated niche interest groups and photo hosting sites.

Who hasn't experienced the missing photos , e.g. Photo Bucket? :-(

Coop PM'd me yesterday and suggested that I could keep the links to Techno and Rumble Seat accessible by adding it to my "signature" so that is what you can see below. I think it will work well in lieu of a pinned or sticky message.

All earlier links in messages to the forum will not work as I revise the two pdfs. Rumble Seat's notes are static at this point and I hope the same for Techno. I have added a date field to this pdf for tracking purposes. If you have trouble opening the links, please let me know. Also note that Dropbox will ask you to join which is not required to view these pdfs.

Best regards,
Glenn
