Radio antenna
Where should the antenna go on a 57 Fairlane 500? I have seen sweep type in the center of the trunk lid but that doesnt appeal to me.

Anyone have a copy of Rich William’s book on 60 hp flatheads they could part with? I would even take one, have it copied and send back your copy.
Thanks

Re: Scam alert
When ever I list something and get replies, I always look at the profile if it's new I walk away. This is bad for newbies but we have to do what we have to do.

Re: Electric choke
Thanks that is what I was looming for. I think if I slow down the fast idle a bit it will help, then I will lean the choke a tiny bit at a time.

Is there much difference between 38 and 40 sixty horse engines? Neither is a tin side.

Re: Transmission swap
Got it working. Shifts a bit erratic at some different speeds, I need to back off the throttle a bit then it shifts. Kind of like a manual with overdrive.

I would like the wiper mechanical mechanism for a 58 Fairlane so I can convert my 57 to electric wipers and not have to deal with the cable and tensioner
