Re: Ford 94 adjustable main jets - Yes or no?

Just the centers. A/F meter is way to go. Two channel is great but not mandatory.

Re: Ford 94 adjustable main jets - Yes or no?

In my 3x2 Flathead it was pain to change jets for primary(center), so I put those adjustable
ones in. With A/F meter adjusting was easy and it has stayed same for years. No complaints.

Re: Early Lever Shocks

Bolt arrangement is little different. That's why original ´32 front shocks are so expensive at swap meets.

Re: Rust question

There is rust inhibitors like previous posters said , but it comes inactive over the years so ,
antifreeze should be changed after 2-3 years. In the old days they lasted longer , but not anymore.

Re: Dot 5 brake fluid and leaking wheel cylinder’s
