Hi All

The search is over, got a car last week. I'm new to all of this so please bear with me as ill have a million questions if you don't mind.
I have a 1947 A-B that I want to do a tune up on with period correct plug wires and whatever else might show.
Any info would me appreciated.
Thank You

Congratulations ! Good to see another '47 AB around here.

Congrats on your new car! Keep us posted, and pics would be nice.

Glad you finally found an early Ford - there is a ton of knowledge on this site, so post some pictures of what you have and ask away. Also, pickup a few good books on the Flathead (VanPelt and others will have them) - always pays to read up and do some research before you head down the 'parts buying' path.

Good luck and welcome on board!

what's a 1947 AB, hope it not a stupid question, car or truck, what model ?

Drbrown · 03-01-2017, 01:25 AM

oldasi .... I abbreviated .... 1947 with the 100 hp 59 AB engine typical in that year's cars and trucks..

Thank you for the warm welcome and info. I actually bought the car from an ad on here so thanks for that as well, it was under hill climber/beach racer in NY. Pics will follow as I as I take them. Is Bubbas closed? I called twice and no return call. Any of you go to TROG?

Ive seen some real nice seat belts and leather hood straps. Any leads on those? Id like to get a hole of a decent hood too if theres anything out there?
Thanks All
