Re: Oil Pan and Drag Link Interference 8BA in 36 Cabriolet

I did this conversion in 1959 in my '35 3w coupe, when I was 15 yo :-) (not kidding). I had a 59ab in the car that developed a knock so I hit the local junk yards looking for a good replacement...

Re: corn head grease

I've been using John Deere Corn Head Grease in my '35 Fords since 2013. Steering box, universal joint, and occasionally I'll pump a "slight amount" into the water pump fittings to keep a thin film of...

Re: Torque Tube Seal

I'm curious as to why you would not want to remove the torque tube. I would think if you are planning to install a Columbia Rear it would be to your advantage to also check the universal joint for...

Re: Rare Wide Five Rim - 15 x 6?

No way Seth. 60hp wide 5 wheels are 3-1/2" wide where the tire locates on the rim. I have a bunch of those that came off 60hp, 37 Fords.

Re: Torque Tube Seal

@Brendan17....In my humble opinion, you need to find out why that ring groove on the drive shaft is not accessible for properly mounting that ring. If you are using all stock/original parts on this...

Re: Rare Wide Five Rim - 15 x 6?

I had one like that years ago and sold it for good bucks, since I had no use for it then, and still wouldn't today. Now if it had been a 16"x 6" wide, 5 on 5-1/2 wire spoke, straight or bent spokes,...

Re: Are these Ford doors?

Steve, if the glass is original FoMoCo there should be "bugs" as already mentioned in two posts. From what I can see in your pics, they look to be in good condition with the front doors probably...

Re: Washers, yay or nay, on stock head studs

Yes, it's generally called a cost reduction/cost savings. Just like the change from studs and nuts to hex headed bolts. It's a constant thing required in engineering to keep the cost of manufacturing...

Re: v8 transmission breakdown

There are a few tricks for getting some of the later gear combinations together or apart when the early 48 case is used. I'm not sure if Mac mentions any of this in his book, but there are some posts...

Unfortunately, when our dear old Henry passed away, his design and manufacturing engineers (and probably his bean counters) began to play.

Re: v8 transmission breakdown

BINGO!! That's "the key that has to turn" to get that input shaft out and I'm sure that is mentioned in MacVP's transmission book.

Re: Australian Early Ford V8 Nationals 3-6 May 2024

I'd love to come to Australia for that National Meet! I was there many years ago while aboard one of Uncle Sams US Navy Destroyers on an R&R cruise before returning to the states.

Re: 36 Mechanical break upgrade

That's the same type of floaters/equalizers that I have on my '35 fordor slantback sedan (FB Avatar) and they also work fine for me.

Re: 32 Transmission Refresh

That's the reverse idler gear :). 38 coupe was referring to the 1st/reverse sliding gear that meshes with the cluster gear.

The reverse idler gear only sees action on one side, as the 1st/reverse...
