Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
Warbird,
From what I can tell it appears to be a '38 - 40 block. Heads and water pumps can and most likely were changed in the past and as such, I tend not to use them as identifiers.
Your pumps...

Re: New Eaton Spring or re-arch existing
I have never witnessed a re-arching that was worth what was paid for it. Just a cheap way to temporary bandage an issue.
Eaton is good to work with. I have yet to have any issues with their...

Re: 1939 radiator overflow tank?

Re: Help me ID this generator
Body is post 1941.
Armature doesn't match the pulley. One has a key, the other doesn't.

Re: 39 Ford bumper jack
