Re: old gas - like 10 years old

That reminds me of the old fuel I found in a piece of yard equipment I hadn't used for a number of years. I got a "good" taste of while I tried siphoning it out of its tank. I couldn't get the taste...

Re: Intake manifold

Only the pipe is a 2V part. The rest will work for a 4V. All you need then is the carb spacer, PCV and few pieces of short rubber hose.
That little teapot looking adapter is a very hard to find part.

Re: I need Carb. & Fuel Pump rebuilt, WHO?

I've had Sal rebuild two carbs for me. He's a great guy, he does excellent work with a fast turn around.

Re: Unusual extra side trim on 1956 Ford Fairlane Fordor Victoria.

Yeah, can't really see the firewall too well.

Re: Unusual extra side trim on 1956 Ford Fairlane Fordor Victoria.

What I'd really like to see is how the converted Fordor Victoria looks like under the hood, especially at the firewall. That would be hard to switch over from an Aussie sedan.

Re: Unusual extra side trim on 1956 Ford Fairlane Fordor Victoria.

There is no way this is an Aussie model. All they had was the 4 door sedan. It must have been a US model brought over and converted to RHD. My question is why a red interior?

Re: What month in 1954 were the '55 models introduced?

I know the discussion is about '55s but for example my '56 has a build date of Oct 21, 55. According to the s/n I presume it was already the 16039th Ford on the assembly line.

Re: Tranny off, how to remove flex plate?

I've used a box wrench as the holder on flywheels by putting a bolt through each end of the wrench.

Re: 59 edsel

IMO, the Edsel was a much nicer looking car than the Ford. Same for '60.

Re: FE set in stone.

I agree it looks like a MEL. It resembles this 430 I found on the web.

Re: 292 Distributor stuck

It could be that. I often assume most cast parts are usually pot metal.




Try at your own risk. :D...

Re: FE set in stone.

I thought it was a Y-Block at first but then I didn't see the valve cover studs nor adjustable rockers. You can see some of the valve cover bolts around the top edge of the head which made me think...

FE set in stone.

Cool meme found on another site. Looks like an old FE.

Re: 292 Distributor stuck

One thing I might add is that since the distributor is made of pot metal, you need to be careful about how much you heat it. It doesn't take much to melt or distort the metal.

Re: Anti Theft Devices You Can Install

I don't I'd even want to drive my car again with something like this.

Any car with a manual transmission already has an anti-theft device. :D

Re: Ebay 57 Ford parts

I use very specific search terms in my searches and use "exclude words..." in the advanced search options to eliminate a lot of unwanted results. I would put Ecklersautomotive in that field.

Re: 6-12 volt

The most common issue I've seen with problematic 6v starting systems is wrong sized battery and ground cables. You can't use the same gauged cables on a 6v system as you do on a 12v. 6v cables are...

As far as I could tell mine never did and it's mostly original.

Re: Radiator woes

Macs on Foster Rd should be a good place for your radiator needs. I've used them before and they looked like they work on anything. I think they've been around since the 40's/50's.

Re: '56/'57 Lincoln Continental Mk II

Yes, Zapato did pass away a few years ago. He had a few projects that he had been working on that included a shoebox and a 57 Ford 2dr post. I don't doubt they were sold off.

I passed on his MKII...

Re: '56/'57 Lincoln Continental Mk II

Good speculation but a frame would have to really badly bent for me to replace it.
