Re: Rubber stopper on window channel?

The rear windows also have a vent feature. Karl is correct.

Re: Opinion Re Differential Gear Ratio

Yes. I would like to do this to my '31 Victoria. I have many 3.54 gear sets in V8 Fords and even a 3.25 gear.

Re: Changing of the Guard. A new breed of car nuts.

I'm 43 and I appreciate early Fords as they came out of the factory. I'm so anal I will only use NOS parts when available. Modernize an early Ford and I'll likely wonder if you have lost your mind. ...

Re: Columbia two speed differentials

Your '41 most likely has a 3.78 gear ratio. It seems like it's not happy at 55 mph but it can handle it with ease. I have ran a 3.78 with a stock 59A engine at 65 mph with no problems.

I do...

Re: Merc 1939 axle in a 32 frame need help with torque tube lenght

What's the advantage of a '39 rearend in the '32? Seems like a lot of work for a result that makes you go down the road all the same?

Re: Where’s my water going?

This is a good thought. I have put together some tight engines and when they properly break in they run really well. As long as it's not dangeroulsy hot or blowng anti freeze all over the car, keep...

Re: Car Is Shrinking........

The first time I drove a '32 Ford I was amazed at how much better the car drove compared to my '31 Victoria. The comfort, ride, steering, gear shifting, and power of the V8 engine is a night and day...

Re: Where’s my water going?

One quart isn't a lot. You might be pushing that out the overflow at higher speeds. If you are only adding 4 cups that should not cause an overheat. When you say it overheats, does it boil over or...

Re: Where’s my water going?

When you add water, how much do you add before you see water? 1 quart, 1 gallon?

Unsloved Mysteries was good also. I never knew he played with early Fords.

Re: Car Is Shrinking........

I can't tell you about the number of 33 or 34 Victoria's built with a 4 cylinder. I can tell you that you will want a V8. The V8 engine makes the car so much more enjoyable. By the way, any 33-34...

Re: Car Is Shrinking........

There is more leg room. That is why they are easier to get in and out of and sit in.

Re: "Special" Intake Manifold?

This is correct as posted on the V8 Forum. The port on the right was for the vacuum assisted clutch. David is the go to guy for all 1932-1934 Ford information.

Re: Car Is Shrinking........

I had the same problem. I'm 6'1" and 215 lbs. So, I bought a V8 Ford and it solved the problem.

Re: Flat head back firing pop. pop over and over

You might want to start a new thread on this topic. It is my least favorite job. I'd rather pull a rearend and transmission.

Re: Flat head back firing pop. pop over and over

If the choke cleared it out, that would indicate a lean situation. I wonder if you have a vacuum leak or a valve(s) that stick. We might need more information.

How well does it idle?

Re: Coil adapter issue

I get it. I'd rather see a Ford coil on the distributor. If nothing else it just looks good.

Re: Swapping Engines

I really don't think you'll be dissapointed with a 24 stud, 221ci, 1939 engine or a 59A. I have a '39 pickup in stock form. It drives really nice and has plenty of power with a 3.78 rearend. I...
