Re: Opinion Re Differential Gear Ratio
I like what Brent said. My 1937 Ford Tudor has a 85 hp V8, 16 in wheels and a 3.25 rear gear. It will drive down the highway very well. I'm in flat land country, no mountains.

Re: Solenoid clicking. Won't start
Is it a stock starter or some kind of aftermarket thing? Your starter drive might be stuck. Put the car in 3rd gear and rock it back and forth to get the starter drive loose. Don't pull the starter...

Re: Columbia two speed differentials
Your '41 most likely has a 3.78 gear ratio. It seems like it's not happy at 55 mph but it can handle it with ease. I have ran a 3.78 with a stock 59A engine at 65 mph with no problems.
I do...

Re: Where’s my water going?

Re: Car Is Shrinking........
The first time I drove a '32 Ford I was amazed at how much better the car drove compared to my '31 Victoria. The comfort, ride, steering, gear shifting, and power of the V8 engine is a night and day...

Re: Where’s my water going?
One quart isn't a lot. You might be pushing that out the overflow at higher speeds. If you are only adding 4 cups that should not cause an overheat. When you say it overheats, does it boil over or...

Re: Car Is Shrinking........
I can't tell you about the number of 33 or 34 Victoria's built with a 4 cylinder. I can tell you that you will want a V8. The V8 engine makes the car so much more enjoyable. By the way, any 33-34...

Re: "Special" Intake Manifold?
This is correct as posted on the V8 Forum. The port on the right was for the vacuum assisted clutch. David is the go to guy for all 1932-1934 Ford information.
