Re: '35 gas tank yuck

Re: 6-Volt Jump Start

You can hook up 12 volts directly to the 6 volt starter to turn the engine over.
Many 6 volt starters are run in 12 volt conversions for years with no issues.

Re: 53 merc v8 overheating

Use 100% vinegar and run the engine on the road with it. Drain, flush and refill as many times as needed until you’re clear. Finally flush with baking soda as a neutralizer.

Re: Starter Solenoid Alternatives

Some of the later ford solenoids did actuate with a positive feed instead of grounding.
Don’t recall the year but I’ve seen some aftermarket ones like this.

I see they don’t carry the more complicated 35-38 ford radiators.
That’s a shame. More complicated tank design.
