Re: Resurrection of ex-Harry Lee (Kansas) '33 roadster

Longer version for those interested....

Re: Boiling Bros.

Many years ago I had a 1939 Railway Express Agency delivery truck. This was built on a '39 Ford 3/4 ton driveaway chassis. Not sure who built the body but it was somewhat similar to today's UPS or...

Re: Diamond Back Bias Ply looking radials

Re: Valve seat cutters

I use the original flathead pilot that came in the old Black and Decker set I have. Locates in both the lifter and guide bores. Works great.

Re: '40 coupe trunk handle lock

Appreciate the quick responses. I like the idea of grinding down a key to leave in the lock. The NOS lock cylinder came with two keys so will likely go that direction.

Thanks!!

Re: new engine start-up problems

Here's a long shot. A malfunctioning tach can cause all kinds of odd ignition issues. Disconnect the tach and give it a try.

Clay Smith M3

Anyone happen to have specs for a Clay Smith M3 cam for a V860? I've had one for years but never run across the actual specs on it.
