Re: 2 or 2 1/4" Long Shackles
In this application it's not a concern. Long story...trying to recreate a suspension setup on an old dry lakes car.

2 or 2 1/4" Long Shackles
My apologies in advance for this odd request, I'm trying to find the source of a 2" or 2 1/4" long (bolt-to-bolt, not width) shackle. I believe the 42-48 fronts are close to this size but don't have...

Re: Looking for engine stand plans
Not really a 'storage' stand - and it doesn't exactly conform to your requirements of support via the oil pan rail, but I'm in the process of building a run-in/test stand using a spare T frame and A...

Re: 31 vs 32 Model A
Absolutely not true. There is also a myth that the A frame was designed to fit the T body (in case Ford wasn't able to complete the job) but this too is a myth. The 1928 Ford was a brand-new car...

Re: Installation of Temp Gauge
I've found the opposite to be true; electric gauges available at my FLAPS are off often as much as 20*. I prefer to stick with vintage SW gauges or the original Rex-A-Co units made by US Gauge in...

Re: Babbitt vs Inserts
Bingo! Our cars were produced in an age where technology was expensive and labor was cheap; that dynamic hasn't existed in the auto industry in 50-60 years...today, quite the opposite is true.

Re: Ford engine green paint code
Roy Nacewicz has the correct formula. I believe he matched it when he worked for Ford.

Re: Repaired Winfield Crowfoot on eBay
From my experience, best place(s) to buy Winfield stuff is at swap meets. Ebay prices are outrageous and you can't really tell what you're getting.
