My '49 Ford with the stock wheels and radial tires keeps throwing off wheel discs. Apparently the wheels are flexing too much. Is there a later and stronger Ford wheel that I can use and still keep...

Re: guidance on carb linkages, etc.

Your initial question was related to linkage so here is my advice. Try to avoid any linkage (home-made or commercially made) that uses the throttle shaft as part of the system. 99% of the ones I've...

6 or 12 volt clock conversion to quartz

Any tips on who converts the clock in my '49 Ford to quartz? Right now it's still a 6 volt clock but works OK on 12 volts occasionally but stops every now and then.

Re: What amp battery is best or needed for V8's?

Try an Optima 6V. If the engine won't start, take out the plugs and drive home on the starter. Actually the proper size cables are as important as the battery capability.

Re: Rear window stainless in a shoebox

Yes, the glass is already out and I'm trying to follow the "Ford" instructions but they just say to install the trim into the rubber before putting the glass back into the car.

1950 ford windshield center strip

Can someone post the length of the stainless windshield center strip for a '50 Ford Tudor? I believe that the convert and wagon are different than the regular sedan. Thanks in advance: Bruce

Re: 1949-50 stainless windshield center bar

Yes, I think that Victoria and Convert are the same. Mine is a regular 2 door coupe and not the same as the vicky, convert or wagon.
