Re: Oil capacity clarification
Heard, a picture of your pan will help with capacity, but '49-'53 Ford center sump car pans hold 4 quarts, while the rear sump '49-'51 Merc and truck pans hold 5, so add one quart with the filter for...

Re: Jets & Power Valves
Use only genuine Stromberg parts. Jets and power valves should have numbers stamped on them.
What problems have you with "new" power valves?

Re: master cylinder
Master location has nothing to do with drum brake residuals. Guess I haven't explained the residual function well enough.

Re: master cylinder
Well, NOT so good video. I like Wilwood products, but their explanation of a drum residual is total BS!
Why in the hell would you want the shoes to float inside a drum, with only .020"-.030" or...

Re: master cylinder
Residual valves are required in older/vintage drum brakes to prevent air from entering past the wheel cylinder cups during fast release. Your stock '53 has one located at the end of the bore inside...

Re: master cylinder
If your brakes are original drums, you don't need a proportioning valve, but you will need a residual for each axle IF the new dual master does not have them located behind the tube seats.

Re: dual master cylinder
Gonna have to disagree with some of the above math.
1" master cylinder piston travels 1.27" for 1 c.i. of fluid movement.
1 1/16" master cylinder piston travels 1.12" for 1 c.i. fluid...

Re: dual master cylinder
I agree the pedal travel will be longer with a 1" master, but can be used safely with stock Ford pedals if care is taken to minimize floor covering below/around the pedal, and pedal arm bumper...

Re: Remote oil filter- fill before install
I knew Mark for 25 years and think your remarks about him are totally out of place. He isn't around to explain his beliefs, so lets keep the "I know a guy" crap out of here.
As I already...

Re: Remote oil filter- fill before install
Mark always advised me not to pre-fill the filter with his full flow system, and frankly I never saw much time difference with oil pressure rise either way. What I tried years ago is remove the...

Re: Newbe question on clutch pedal travel
I would measure the actual throw-out bearing-to-pressure plate clearance by removing the starter plate. You only need about .100" clearance, which should result close to 1" pedal free travel,...
