Re: Flathead Tools?
There's a club devoted to Ford tools: National Ford Tool Collectors https://fordtoolcollector.org/
It's a very small group but someone there might be able to help identify your tools.

The top one is a universal piston ring groove cleaning tool.

Re: Flathead Tools?
I'm pretty sure the new wrench is a basin wrench for plumbing.

Re: Flathead Tools?
Hi Tom; The fourth one down reminds me of a wrench for a distributor anchor bolt, or oil pressure sender anchor bolt except the opening seems too large, Craig.

Re: Flathead Tools?
The new shiny one is an adjustable drain wrench. The clamp next to it is actually a small bench vise. The long L shaped wrench below that is an early basin wrench. The home made tools at the bottom are for setting sewer pipe lead joints.

Re: Flathead Tools?
The only one I can identify is the steel "Vampire Death Spike" - third from the bottom.

No, It would have to be made out of wood to work.

Re: Flathead Tools?
My first thought was a wrench to change the oil pressure sending unit, I made one very similar to change the unit on my 40 but agree it is too big.
