Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster
Painted some misc stuff yesterday at work. Lost a front shock lever somehow...Cant find it anywhere...Not sure about a rumble step or taillight. Not sure how you could do both. Everyday i just try to do something...
Note the brass water inlets. My father made these front billet brass. Thought it would be cool to use these on this car. I need to drill them yet... |

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster
Nice collection of parts there. I'm a little surprised by the drag link. 32s normally use a one piece part. (With dismantle-able ends). having an adjuster is ok, but two?

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster
While it is understood that you are not restoring the car to as-built condition, along with what Mart mentioned, the spark plug wire conduits in your photos are post-'36 versions.

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster
The '32-'36 versions' attachment arms are almost twice as long and are welded to the tubes vertically and then bent over 90 degrees where the holes are for the intake manifold bolts. If you happen to have a pair that have only a single flare in the tube where the spark plug wires exit to the distributor, those are true '32s. The '33-'36 versions have two progressive flares at that end (and are easier to insert the tapered rubber transition pieces accordingly).

One other note, IF you are running a 1939 and later engine, you will need a different crank pulley than that shown in your photos. However, given you have a pair of lower water inlets painted I would presume you are running a 21 stud engine. Good Catch on the conduits David! Last edited by 35fordtn; 12-04-2019 at 06:32 PM. |

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster
From the basement, what I assume is a 33-36 conduit so one can tell the difference to the later ones.

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster
You also said Im in search of 1 or more front stock shock lever(s) for a 32'. Please PM me if you have something available.
I have a few shock levers but do not know what they are off of. What are the specs so maybe I can help |

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster
Ian,
The one in your photo appears to be a 1933 not a 1932 |

Re: Plugging Away on The 32' Roadster
Sorry, but that's a '33 front shock arm. The '32 shock arms are shown in the photo below.
