Re: 1939 pickup engine oil filter
Fetch, as Kube points out, your filter is not original, so no need to salvage the damaged elbow. You can use the similar elbow as is if it is the return fitting, but if the inlet fitting, it must be...

Re: Opinion needed on fuel pumps
A schedule of starting an engine, say, once a week, running it at idle till it warms up, doing this during a storage period of a year or more, sounds good so you can sleep well. Truth is, you’re not...

Re: 1937 ford jack
Dameon, I know you understand, but for those who don't have a clue, NEVER use a bumper jack. They are dangerous as hell for one, and if that doesn't scare the pee out of you, they can and will easily...
