Ahh, thanks! I wasn't considering the shell thickness. Were odd journal sizes really that common? I've come across piles of bearings over the years but never the reds and blues.

Re: Got my first T and having starting issues

Got my first T and having starting issues
I picked up a new-to-me '22 center door at an estate sale last weekend. It's a wonderful car - seems like a well preserved car that has an old repaint but is otherwise original.

Re: '41 buyer's guide?
To be honest, I've never driven a really good flathead V8. Had a pretty worn out F1 years ago and it didn't impress me...It wasn't until later that I heard a few good running stock motors and...
