1933 Ford foot starter
Could someone tell me how the foot starter button attaches to the car? I have a '33 Ford sedan I'm putting together with a 59AB engine and a '50 Ford pickup transmission. Photo's would be nice...thanks

Re: 1933 Ford foot starter
If you are using the original switch.That starter switch bolts to 2 lower bolts on the steering box ,then the rod that goes thru the floor threads into it.

Re: 1933 Ford foot starter
Something to think about - depending on how "original looking" you want it to look like - is to add a modern Ford starter solenoid (12V, think 60's mustang) to handle the actual starter load and use the above starter switch to activate the solenoid. I've found this tends to make the stock starter type switch last a lot longer as it only has to activate the solenoid.
Obviously your main battery/starter cables have to be setup/routed differently (to go to the solenoid instead of the starter switch above). Just something to ponder if you're wiring the car from scratch . . . |

Re: 1933 Ford foot starter
A good working e-brake is handy since your left foot will be running the starter and your right foot on the gas!
