Re: Fuel pump interchange
Terry, you are right. I had to use some adapters to go from NPT to compression fittings. Luckily, I had two. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Fuel pump interchange

Re: Cleaning out gas tank 1958 Ranchero
Thanks for all the replies. This is what I did....
Once I got it out and got the float assy out, I could tell it was only rusty where little pools of water had settled--not too bad.

Re: Cleaning out gas tank 1958 Ranchero
Thank you KULTULZ. This was a brand new replacement tank from Bob Drake. The ORIGINAL tank was rusty and had pin holes and had the "sock". Maybe someone in the past put it in there. I am only...

Cleaning out gas tank 1958 Ranchero
I recently discovered I got water in my gas tank thanks to Hurricane Florence. Rust showed up in the see-thru fuel filter. I drained the gas and a lot of rust particles came out. I can pull the tank...

Lowering my 58 rear on the cheap
I would like to drop the back end of my 58 Ranchero a little just for looks. I don't want to spend a lot of money doing it either. I also don't want to stray too far from stock. I am not buying...

Re: 1939 - 1942 brake problems
If the brake hose to that wheel cylinder is old (and rubber) it could be deteriorated internally. This usually (in my experience) shows itself by a sticking wheel when the petal is released.

Re: Ford side glass "magic trick"
Thanks for the replies. Now that I have had a chance to ponder it, the 48 sedan has vent windows on the front doors. Maybe it was the back glasses that slid back. But the fronts on the 36 slide...

Re: Tappit noise
5w20 wt. oil sounds a little light to me for a y-block. That could be part of the "rattle" you hear. JMHO.

1935-6 Ford pick-up glass channel source
I was wondering if anyone knows of a source for the door glass channels, the one that runs front to back that the glass mounts in? It is a metal "bar" that the regulator pushes up and down. Thanks!
