Re: hank crank starting rod problem

Yup. I was wondering how easy it would slip off on start as well. It would be a real issue if it did not disengage. On the T it easily slips away. But I have concerns about that very issue.

Re: hank crank starting rod problem

Why?

I was thinking of trying it out.
I have some Model T experience and have seen Model T cars hand cranked many times.
I am looking into it. No reason why it can't be safely done.

Re: hank crank starting rod problem

Are the crank extensions all the same length for all pre war Fords?

Re: '35 gas tank yuck

Use two old tires around the tank. Add the POR-15. Agitate the mix by rolling the tank around for a couple hours. Or pay some kid to do it. Worked for me.

Re: Find out more about my '37 fordor

That number can tell you about when the original engine and transmission were mated. Your engine and trans were mated some time in mid November 1936. Very early in 1937 model year production.

Re: Find out more about my '37 fordor

My 1937 Ford serial is 3514381, making it an early production car.

No need to fear posting that Ford number.

No one can do anything with that number.

Re: Went for a drive today......

I really enjoyed my 1937 Ford today. Very mild temps in the Northwest Indiana/Chicago area made for almost perfect driving conditions.

Re: Went for a drive today......

I took advantage of the mild weather in the Chicago/Northwest Indiana region and drove my 1937 Ford throughout the day, even to the Mexican Store.

Re: Mass YOM plate how to check availability?

Register it and let them figure it out.

In Illinois, one need only to carry the legit modern plate in the car while using YOM plates.

Good luck. I hope you can find the answer.

Re: Early V8 reference books

These books, and the proper owner's manual, would be a good start.

Here is a photo of the glove box radio switch on 1937 Ford.

This appears to be a factory install.
