Re: 1937 No start
Does anyone know "nemw001"? Should we send him a PM? The suspense is killing me.

Re: 1937 No start
He maybe putting a Chevy motor in the car and gave up.No update since 9-7-11
Keeps saying 1/2 inch of play in gears. Now with that said few times. Two gear should not have that much play. I have another guess whats wrong, "The key may have sheared and is moving back and forth." You would still have timing marks correct,but out of time off 45 degs. I wonder if thats the engine out of the 40 sedan in Rockland that was for sale for $10,000 and had no dist, wonder why. |

Re: 1937 No start
He's too embarrassed to admit he had it wired wrong after telling us it was right 20 times.

Re: 1937 No start
I got a kick out of the thread below. Notice that both Walt and Bubba (edit: and Ken) would not hesitate to file/sand/modify a part to fit ... and nothing wrong with that.
https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49928 Just MAYBE "nemw001" used the same approach? Possible? Only with the wrong caps. (To "Henry/Kokomo": "nemw001" has a website on the internet. I don't think he's actually trying to keep his business a secret. Why he hasn't "closed the loop" on this is a puzzle.)

Re: 1937 No start
I sent him a PM early on in this post urging him to send his distributor to Bubba. At least he took that advice. I'm not sure we will ever hear "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey would have said.

Re: 1937 No start
Here is something that might add to the confusion. If you go to the service bulletins, p422, Nov 1937, a wire diagram is shown that includes the spark plug wires. It gives 4,2,1,3 (passenger side) 8,7,5,6 (drivers side) with 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2 firing order. In my opinion, no 1 is not the second plug on the passenger side.........

Re: 1937 No start
From front to back Pass Side 1234,
Drivers Side 5678. You realy can,t be out of time with dist in place. There is no need to find TDC.But the caps were wired with the notch down that would be drivers side.If wired that way it on wrong side.Number 1 is pass side if I was put on right with notch up 1234 . I think the tubes can only go one way. So my Guess the caps are mixed.And to add to this it maybe still not working. |

Re: 1937 No start
"You guys have got to find something else to do."
Great suggestion, Walt. At 4:00 AM I went outside to clean up some litter from the storm that just came through, cranked up the leaf blower, and the neighbor turned his dogs loose on me. I came in the house and decided I run the vacuum a little. Not popular. The internet is the best way to sit back, relax and have a cup of fresh coffee. I've scanned Craigslist, a little of eBay, and posted on the HAMB. I find this thread still interesting and the comments made by some of the guys still ... well, instructional and entertaining. ... appears you also keep peeking at it.

Re: 1937 No start
There is probbly more to this and wants to keep it quite.
This spring there was a 40 sedan in Rockland with no dist wanting $10,000. I would think for under $200 the guy would have put one in. I saw the car and its gone now. Now did the engine get put in another car and now someone else has it.This guy bailed out 9-7-2011 Now with over 6500 hits its like a story with no ending. With all the help you would think he would respond. This is a very small area up here. |
