BB3111 King Pins

Has anyone fitted king pins to a 1933 BB Ford truck? This is the big axle, not the pickup. Does anyone have an axle set? Thanks.

Re: ID year of engine? 49-50 or 51-53

OK most of the listings for exhaust valves look to be small block chevy valves. Does anyone make a real Ford style valve still? Do 8N Ford tractor valves work? They still show the shoulder that I am...

Re: ID year of engine? 49-50 or 51-53

The valves that came out have a shoulder near the valve head. The shoulder stops the valve from pulling too far into the guide while the unit is out of the block making it a little easier to clip the...

Re: Adjusting Fuel Level in King Seeley Gauge

Well at least mine was stained green on the glass tube when I took it out. Maybe it was more of a turquoise color. Anyway it will be a contrasting color to the temperature gauge.

Re: Adjusting Fuel Level in King Seeley Gauge

Chip at Straight Eight says the green and red fluid have a spg of 2.98 or 2.99. So I think it should work. Maybe green will not fade? I replaced a bad capillary line and cleaned the gauge reservoir...

Re: Adjusting Fuel Level in King Seeley Gauge

Does anyone know if the KS green fluid sold by StraightEight can be used in Ford gauges? My 1933 Ford BB had green fluid in the fuel gauge before the cap line broke. Did any Fords use green fluid?

Re: Lost voltage to coil while cranking

The coil has been replaced with a replacement for a 1949 Ford. That may have been when trouble started.

Re: Lost voltage to coil while cranking

JSeery you are right. Took the resistor out of circuit and it starts fine. Took her for a 15 mile test drive and did great except for running out of gas. Got to fix that fuel gauge.

Re: Lost voltage to coil while cranking

Richard, 1933 does not use a solenoid. It uses a heavy contact foot switch, so you manually make the connection to the starter. I am leaning toward the voltage resistor as maybe the problem. What...
