Re: Troubleshooting Transmission '47 pickup

Too bad the tag is missing but low gear is either 4.03 to 1 or 3.76. On the other end overdrive is either .86 or .72.

Re: Troubleshooting Transmission '47 pickup

If you can get those numbers I have a chart that will tell us what those ratios are.

Re: Troubleshooting Transmission '47 pickup

GB,
There is, or should be, a tag on the transmission with a series of numbers. These numbers will give you the gear ratios of that gearbox. The numbers should be 1352-XXXX. It will make difference...

Re: Need cluster gear idntification

Where the LZ gears "shine" is if they are put into a lightweight hot rod that does not have to carry around the extra weight of a Lincoln. But alas the cost has gone into the stratosphere and the...

Re: Troubleshooting Transmission '47 pickup

GB,
It's funny you shouild bring up 435's. I was just reading an article about rebuilding them in an old issue of "FOUR WHEELER" the other day. It seems the ratios in a Ford 435 are 6.68:1 in first,...

Re: The All 32 Run

Tom,
I am happy to see that you and Pete are taking this obligation over as I would hate to see it "pass on". Am I clear in understanding that it will be an invitation only event?

Thanks,
Ted

Re: 40 Tudor glass and rubber

It's all flat safety glass. I go to a local glass shop and have them cut it for me. Very reasonable and if you have a problem you have someone there local to handle it.

I, like you Mart, have done it both ways and indeed the press does a better job of it.

Re: Motor City Flathead - Mark Kirby Camshaft Specs

Valve lash on the 3/4 grind is .012 in intake and .014 on exhaust.

I have been running the 3/4 grind in a 276" 8BA for years now. Nice lopey idle, pulls well throught the gears. I'm happy with it.

If you do decide to rebuild what you have I highly recommend Mac Van Pelt's book on rebuilding these transmissions. It was a big help to me when doing my first. He is also an excellent source for...

Re: Just for fun: 100E part 45. Floor paint and wing flange repairs.

I keep eyeing the bottom edges of those doors. I wonder if there are patch panels available for them? This project of yours reminds me of one a friend of mine had when we were in high school....
