Here i go again needing help,i recently purchased a set of wood blocks for my 26 coupe,my problem is i don't know where the fit as all of the old is missing,does anyone have a diagram showing where they go ? i have the body parts book but it doesn't show would the chassis book have it?.
Also does anyone have parts available for the stock water pump,i can rebuild it or is there a rebuilder out in T land.
Thanks to all of you long time t eers for the help.
Rick,
You may end up not needing the water pump if you have a good radiator and the engine is clean and timing adjusted right. I had lots of trouble even after putting the pump on; recoring the radiator fixed it for good.
All the water pumps are different but if you need pump packing you can order that from Lang's or Bob's.
Two wood blocks go between the frame upper and lower rails where the engine mounts onto it, and a third goes behind the steering column bracket where it mounts onto the frame.
For a complete description of where each body block goes, check the Ford Model T Service Manual where it describes step-by-step dismantling, and again reassembling, of the entire car. The body blocks are mentioned in each case where they are used.
This same question was also asked previously and is also answered under the topic "Body Blocks, Where Do They Go?"
Complete with a nice illustration if you click on the URL!
Thanks to you all,i have downloaded the instructions and the pictures ,and they clear up the mud in my mind as i have about ten things going on at the same time, you know waiting for primer and paint to dry waiting on parts with no information attached,respoking wheels ( FUN ).
Many thanks !!
Rick
