Thank You…( .thinking the 49/50 has the 1.25” diameter hose opening on top also? ) for your help. I’d rather sell them ( due to the top and bottom portions being brass even if core leaks, as core can...

Thank you!
If you know, how much different is that year from 49/50 Ford Shoebox. Is the number different also?

Re: Radiator Identification
Found on another site says the 21A/G says that’s a 42 Ford, G notes it was manufactured in Green Island NY? Sounds plausible?

Re: Instrument lights 1939 Ford Deluxe
I have one of those shut off switches on my battery, that I use to disengage after taking the car out, so it’s not like the clock light stays on 24/7. Easy enough to just remove the bulb.

Re: Instrument lights 1939 Ford Deluxe
Thankx for your effort and help. So your saying that switch ( downstream of the reostat but before those three bulbs- dash/clock lights ) is one assembly?
As seen in this wiring diagram.

Instrument lights 1939 Ford Deluxe
Where is the switch located or will a regular toggle switch work, to turn on my dash lights? The wiring diagram shows a switch.
Thank You

Re: Steering wheel shim
Thinking the same, but I’m not a expert. I can ask when I get the tires spin balanced to see how it ( tires/rims ) differs if any from when I had it balanced years ago. That’s down the road a bit as...

Re: Steering wheel shim
Yes I’ll try that, ( jacking car up ) I typically move the car manually every week or so to keep from getting flat spots.
Thankx for the suggestion

Re: Steering wheel shim
Thankx thinking I’ll get the tires rechecked for balance, for starters. No one commented on the front tires being a different brand and tire pattern from the rear, guessing that’s a mute point?
