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

Re: 35 Hinge Pin Mirrors by Drake
For questions like yours of correctness, the ‘35-‘36 book mentioned above is the source to rely on. Not to put down word of mouth advice, but the book is the real deal.

Re: Opinion needed on fuel pumps

Re: Opinion needed on fuel pumps

Re: 1937 ford jack
Dameon, I know you understand, but for those who don't have a clue, NEVER use a bumper jack. They are dangerous as hell for one, and if that doesn't scare the pee out of you, they can and will easily...

Re: V8 Engine
Ed, you might consider editing your phone number out of your initial post. You're opening yourself up to cold calls from places you'd never want to hear from.

Re: Oil Filter Canister Question
I would be cautious of the one without the spring. I haven't seen that type, but just a guess, but it may have been an earlier version that was later updated? I would think that the spring version...

Re: Chassis/Frame number.
The F indicates Foreign. The numbers are the serial number. Stars were used as a starting and ending digit position to prevent alteration.
