Re: F1 Oil Pan on a 51

Are the inside nuts welded or attached to the inside ring or is the ring threaded? Once I take of the outside plate off I don't want loose nuts/bolts in the pan.
Thanks!

Re: F1 Oil Pan on a 51

I plan to remove the clean out plate/cover when I change the oil and not remove the pan. Can I do this from under the truck?
Thanks,

Re: F1 Oil Pan on a 51

How does the "inside" gasket work? What is it held down by?

F1 Oil Pan on a 51

Before I take off the clean out round plate on the oil pan, is there a gasket there? It looks like it but can't tell if it's copper or felt. What am I getting into? Any tricks/
Thanks,
Stu

Re: State List of Ethanol Free Gas

There is a place at the site to update your area and/or each station. The guy running the site would love the updates.

Re: Generator vs. alternator

I got harness at Dennis Carpenters. I also bought an alternator that looks like a generator from Speedway. It's a 12 v and is made by Powermaster.

Gauges run backwards

I changed my 51 F1 from 6v to 12v, negative ground, with a one wire alternator and my gauges read backwards. What did I do wrong?

Re: flathead willnot fire

If you've had backfiring, you'll probably have to replace the power valves in the carbs.
It happened to me.
