Re: Never rent your car to the studios

Re: 50 Mercury Heater Fan Squirrel Cage
Is a Ford heater the same? I saw several on eBay last week.

Re: 50 Ford Fresh Air Vents
No problem, sometimes you have to work with what you have. I've noticed that the heater core still gets warm from heat transfer through the coolant on the return line, that's the reason for dual...

Re: 50 Ford Fresh Air Vents
On mine I have used the right hole for my fan switch, I installed the same knob on both. I got the push pull switch from NAPA I think.

Re: 50 Ford Fresh Air Vents
Correct, I added a heater to mine and now the right vent is controlled by the heater controls, the air passes through the heater coil so it will be warmer than the left. I have bought cut offs to put...

Re: '50 Ford Overdrive
49 and 50 will interchange, 51 uses the wide mount and The mount is one inch forward on the tail shaft. I installed a 51 od in my 50, had to weld a extension on the mount. If you use a 51 cross...

Re: Ballad of Another Stuck Valve
I replaced a valve, guide and lifter in my 50 a few years back. I hand lapped the valve then filed the stem to get the lash, it's been good so far.

Re: Overdrive lockout cable on a '51 Ford
Good deal, I just didn’t want you to have to go through what I did, I thought I could simply turn the mount around and it would fit, I was wrong. I had to put the stock 3 speed back in to get the...

Re: Overdrive lockout cable on a '51 Ford
I would take measurements from the center of the tunnel to the center of the output shaft and output shaft to the frame just to be safe. Once I figured out I had a 51 od trans and needed to make a...

Re: Overdrive lockout cable on a '51 Ford
Tubman are you installing a 51 trans? 49 and 50 use the narrow mount and is about 1-1/2" back towards the tail. I have a 51 trans in mine and had to weld to the 51 mount to use it in the 50.

Re: Borg-Warner Overdrive
I installed a 51 od trans in my 50 last year, everything but the mount is the same. If you use a 49-50 trans you'll need the cross member or do as I did and modify a new mount to fit. I didn't have a...
