Re: 8BA in 1940 Ford - Oil Pan
Thanks for the replies! Do you have a part number for the correct oil pump pickup, assuming I need to swap it out as well? Do I need to do anything special with the bellhousing/flywheel/clutch? The...

8BA in 1940 Ford - Oil Pan
This one is tough to search since 8BA, oil and pan are only three letters and the search engine doesn't like it:

Re: Electric Pump on a 40

Re: 1940 ford dash bazel replacement
You do not have to remove the dashboard from the cowl, but you do have to remove the instrument cluster, which isn't a horrible job if you are double-jointed. It can be done and it must come out. I...

Re: 1940 Ford bench seat construction
Also, I noted that one of the earlier posts indicated that "...each spring has its own burlap bag...", but, in fact, each ROW of springs is housed within it's own bag, which is sewn to create...

Re: Fuel tank mount
I'm not 100% on a '41, but a '40 tank sits on top. It's a total pain to remove & replace after the body is on, just in case you were wondering.

Re: Homemade Spring Spreader
Grade 8 fasteners are the way to go - in the right application. Kube is correct in his worry here, as the threaded rod will not just be seeing a tensile load, but side loading (bending) as well. The...
