Re: Speedometer face plates 1940-1946
Tim and Fritz,
I unfortunately have no idea if this cluster came out of a big truck. Which would seem odd as I've only seen 60 mph Speedos (the guage not the little swim pants) associated with...

Re: What the heck is that?
I'm sure they can still change a tyre, even if they don't know what the wheel is off.
The machine they use doesn't know what the wheel came off.

Re: banjo bolts.
That's because modern rear axles need a breather, so do closed drive converted banjos.
Original breathed up the torque tube, negating the need for an additional breather.

Re: 1950 Ford Tudor 226 6 cyl Heater System
In my experience, the water pump hose goes to the upper firewall (heater) inlet and the cylinder head hose goes to the lower firewall it fitting. I've found this to be true on very wide selection of...

Re: 1951 Mercury Overdrive
This points to it being electrical, which is easier than pulling the trans n stuff.
You need to be all over it with an electric tester to find out why after the short period of time the relay...

Re: Can a 8BA be put in a 41?
Can you explain the exhaust system problem? Surely just use the cars original exhaust manifolds, and all is well.
Many thanks

Re: Windage tray yes or no
Windage tray, crank scraper and a kick out, also pan volume increase also helps to lower windage. The longer the stroke the more this stuff helps.

Re: 1951 Mercury Overdrive
When you turn the ignition on do you hear a click from the trans? Cus it sounds like the solenoid is (in overdrive engaged state) from your description. You could whip the fuse out of the overdrive...

Any chance you could scan that and post the pic.
Be a good reference for those with the early heads.

Nah, if it's a coper gasket, installing it and toqueing it down for measurement purpose, won't make it a used gasket. Just refit to the same side, it'll be as good as new.
You can also grease the...
