Re: New Rookie Question about Removing 32 Engine

Re: Early ford oil pump id

Re: Is this correct?
Instead of trimming the lower insulator, reverse it so that the lip faces up, not down as you have it in your photos.

Re: Anyone need a 33-34 front shock for parts
The '35-'36 rear shocks have a greater capacity and are therefore have larger housings compared to the '34 rears. As Terry points out, they are functionally interchangeable.
What distinguishes...

Re: 33 oil dipstick and tube
With respect, there's no surviving record of when your two vehicles were produced, only of the dates the original engine/transmission assemblies were built. Depending on the location of the assembly...

For what it is worth, all of my '32 V8 restorations have NOS fiber gears on their camshafts without any issues.

Re: Odd Frame Repair?
Not unheard of on original '32 front cross members. A service cross member with a riveted-in doubler was offered in '33.

Re: 1932 Ford shock absorbers taking them apart

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
It's consistent with its origin, a '32 coupe. And it most definitely has an original counterbalanced crankshaft.
The rear transmission mount from a '33-'34, which is fully interchangeable with...

Re: 1932 Ford shock absorbers taking them apart
Be very careful. Only a B-prefix '32 shock is basically the same as a Model A shock with a larger capacity. A 18-prefix shock, the most prevalent among survivors, can be ruined by assuming that it...

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
A '33-'34 four will fit in a '32 chassis, especially if it has the early '33 front motor mount bracket with the same front motor mount spacing on the front cross member of 12" like '32s.

Re: Model B Ford 4 cylinder identification
If the engine's bell housing is absent, that's where the engine number was stamped. The front timing gear cover will identify it as being a '32 or '33-'34 if the bell housing is missing. Can you...
