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.

60hp
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

Re: Transmission swap
Raman and rotowrench you are correct. It only shifts once unless you drop down to low gear at takeoff. Problem is starting out in drive it won't shift. We have reworked governor and throttle with...
