How about a picture and we can all stop guessing? |
Re: What is it. wire from the casting of the block.

Re: What is it. Looks like a wire electrode with a 90 degree bend at the end.

Re: What is it. I don’t know how to do pics. Could be some kind of anode?

Re: What is it. If its the size of rebar tie-wire, it could have been holding a sand core in place when they poured the cast iron.

Re: What is it. As stated, nothing more than un-trimmed wire that was used to fasten/stabilize
the components during the casting process. These are examples in an 8BA block. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/pictu...ictureid=41322 https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/pictu...ictureid=41323 https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/pictu...ictureid=41324 |
Re: What is it. Inside of the blocks are often full of this kind of stuff.
|
Re: What is it. I've seen this before. It is as already stated.

Re: What is it. That's a core wire. I found them when cleaning my block back in 1973.
Looks like a 1/8 welding rod with no flux. |
