Re: 1937 ford jack
Dameon, I know you understand, but for those who don't have a clue, NEVER use a bumper jack. They are dangerous as hell for one, and if that doesn't scare the pee out of you, they can and will easily...

Re: V8 Engine

Re: Oil Filter Canister Question
I would be cautious of the one without the spring. I haven't seen that type, but just a guess, but it may have been an earlier version that was later updated? I would think that the spring version...

Re: Chassis/Frame number.

Re: Grey hound hood ordament
David, Can you make a comparison between the Ford and Lincoln greyhounds please? From memory, I think the Lincoln greyhounds were slightly larger, and have more prominent ribcages. Am I correct?
