Re: Inconsistent spark plug firing; can't get all 4 to fire

Check the distributor cam to see if all the lobes are consistent.
Here's a video that uses a dial gauge to check the cam and point gap accurately.

Re: Do you own a 1930 Standard three window Fordor Sedan.

I picked one up this past February at a swap meet. It has the eyebrow fenders to boot.

Re: Throttle Lever Sneaks Down.....

Re: 5 Speed Conversion

Transmission Exchange in Monticello KY offers heavy duty radius rods for their kit.
$379 I believe.

Re: What head is this?

I thought about grinding out the cracks a little and using some JB but I'm worried about the crack near the #2 spark plug especially with the higher compression.

Re: What head is this?

So after leaving the head in a rust911 solution for a day and cleaning off I think I know why it was sitting on the shelf. It has cracks across the top of the head and I don't trust it enough to try...

What head is this?

Can anyone tell me about this?
It appears to be a 5.2:1 head but it does not have a "B" cast into it.

Re: Voltage regulation with a Zener diode

Make sure you have good ground connections. I remember seeing an article on FordBarn about how to check with an ohm meter. A bad ground will cause the voltage to go high.

Blueing of connecting rod

I dropped the oil pan on a newly acquired A to check things out and noticed all the connecting rods are blued at the wrist pin. I know rods for racing engines are heat treated but didn't think that...

Re: Station Wagon Seat Covers or Fabric Source

The rear seat in my wagon was redone and the upholsterer stated that the closest he could find was school bus seat fabric. I really can not tell a difference when comparing to the other seats.

Re: Knocking

Recently I had one that would knock bad under load and it was a bad condenser, I put modern points and condenser in and it stopped.
