Re: What is this goop? Restored 1932 Victoria

Re: just a heads-up
Well I watched the video and I’d say Matt and crew get kudos for saving another old Ford, and it was a tub too! Oops, I meant to say it’s a Convertible Sedan. I don’t agree about the “reality TV”...

Re: Camber wrong on ‘35

They were front wheel drive using a two speed transaxle, and that’s why there were no water pumps in the heads, the heads are turned around and the pumps could not be belt driven. The cast aluminum...

There was one larger water pump driven off the camshaft, with a magneto mounted on the inside of the firewall which was typical of a Miller car. A cable drive off the crank nose turned the mag.
