Re: Hydraulic Brakes went out!
So if I replace the master cylinder with the 62-65 caddy- that would at least shorten my stroke?

Re: Cowl light bulbs- 34 ford
Well the #55 bulbs were about the size of my pinkie. The cowl lights I have seem to be closer to the size of an index finger or thumb.

Re: Cowl light bulbs- 34 ford
Farmertom, did you just swap the bulbs out or did you have to add any diode inline?

Does anyone know where I can get a set?

Re: Gas sender vent question
I think I have a 35 gas tank so mine fits right in. I also have an aftermarket non hydrostatic modern style gas gauge.

Re: Gas sender vent question
I won’t do it anywhere near the gas tank- I’ll put it in AFTER I solder in the vent.

Re: Gas sender vent question
Is this a vented gas cap? This seems to be upgraded with a new tank.

Gas sender vent question
I have a 34 ford that has a 36 ford fuel sender that goes to a more traditional gauge.
I’m sure the sender is dead- I took the gauge to the back and wired direct with proper ground- no dice....
