Re: Generator and Fan

I'm guessing you are getting your information from a Ford parts book. Am I correct?
If you are, you must keep in mind, the parts listed are for service and in many cases Ford "made do" with what...

Re: Generator and Fan

Why would a 60HP have a smaller pulley than the 85HP? Both have identical 6v electrical systems and both need to charge at the same rate.
In 1940 there were two different pulleys. The first (early)...

Re: Flathead & transmission won't sit back far enough?

Not only do you have an incorrect rear mount, but it is also shot. The rubber is quite obviously rotten.

Re: Set of 4 shocks and arms need info

If the bodies are close to 2 7/8" diameter, they are worth a little. Are they worth the bother to sell? Probably not.

Re: (Best) copper head gasket and offenhauser aluminum heads

Aussie Merc has given you great advice. Pistonbroke backed that up. Please, do yourself a favor and listen to these guys.

That small hole in the gasket was a design change that I believe happened...

Re: Opinion needed on fuel pumps

My '36 roadster sits for up to eight weeks without starting during the winter months. The car is 100% stock.
I pull the choke, hit the starter, pump the gas pedal maybe two or three times, hit the...

Re: Set of 4 shocks and arms need info

They appear to be front shocks from a 1940 Ford passenger car. Body diameter?
The arms most certainly appear to have been heavily modified. Are the balls welded to the arms?

Tony, I suspect that's what happened, a simple mistake.

Re: '40 brake lamp switch / master cylinder issue?

Charlie, going through three new brake switches in the course of three days? Not likely even if silicone fluid were involved.
Nope, just bad switches right out of the boxes.

Re: 1937 ford jack

Yes, even though difficult to believe. I'd be willing to bet he would make this "right" with you in a heartbeat.
Lin is one heck of a good guy.

Re: 1937 ford jack

Tony, it's early all right. Early 1946. Part #51a-17080-a4
If Lin (spelled L I N) sold it to you there was a mistake made. Highly unlike Lin as he is one sharp "tool".

Re: 1937 ford jack

Pete, your suspicion is correct. the jack is 1946. The Ford script bag was introduced in mid 1940 production.

Re: 1937 ford jack

Well, some are and some are not.
The Ford script bag was issued many years later so that's certainly not correct.
The jack is 1946 and is actually kinda rare.

Re: Iron vs. Aluminum 21 stud heads - which is better?

Don't lubricate the spark plugs. They require a good ground.

Re: What size battery, Amos, CCA, CA

I'm with Denny on this. An Optima can be mounted beneath the floor without modifications. It can be mounted at an angle.
I did this recently in a '34 as well as a '36.
They do last for many years...

Re: Iron vs. Aluminum 21 stud heads - which is better?

In my opinion, there is no reason to not purchase the best of the sets you'd found.
When installing, be certain to use composite gaskets. Also, I'd suggest you coat each stud with Anti-Seize®.

Re: Door weatherstripping 40 coupe

I was just about to comment in the same regard. But, you beat me to it :)

There was no seal like that in 1940 and just because Drake claims it to be "improved" doesn't mean it's any good and / or...

Re: V8 Engine

Ed?
Some easy to do tasks that are paramount to having the car start up well: Each and every ground must be very clean and tight.
Make sure you have heavy battery cables designed for 6v systems....

Re: Iron vs. Aluminum 21 stud heads - which is better?

Aluminum cools a little better than steel. Worth the additional cost? Probably not.
Cast iron heads are plentiful and rather reasonable in price. Figure out if you need a head for flat or domed...
