By chance is your problem after washing your car? I had something similar, and I didn't tie it together with car washing for some time. My symptom was running rough intermittently. One afternoon after washing the car I got shocked when I touched the coil box; turned out I had a carbon trace in the w...

My father's '15 Roadster was modified with hand controls and a starter in the late 1980's. I've posted pictures of them before on this forum, and there was a write up in the HCCA Gazette. I've still got them. He had MS and needed 2 canes to walk. They extended the time he could drive the T by a numb...

These have found a home.

I’ve been running domed pistons with stock low heads, on 5 or 6 engines, for years. I used to run aluminum HC low heads, but chose to go back to the cast iron heads with domed pistons and don’t see any degradation; it’s a great combination.

I’ve got a large box of old clothes that my parents wore in the HCCA. Most of these were my moms; she was short, between 5-1 and 5-3, and average size, not heavy at the time. I’d like to pass these on to someone that will use them. Some are true antiques, some are from the 60’s and were made for day...

I think this P159 bellhousing looks good, and it still has the thrust pins in it. The P160 needs to be rebushed. The surfaces on the P-141 appear excellent, possibly resurfaced already .(I'm pretty sure it's that part, it looks like it...). The pins and gears are appear worn but they are included. $...

I've sent you a couple of emails and haven't heard back; I don't know if you've received them. You might want to check your spam folder. If they are not not there you should check the email in your profile; someone else I was responding to had an old email still listed that they don't use.

This latch operates but needs to be cleaned and lubed. One corner is bent; it's an easy fix but I'll let the buyer do that.

I'll keep this in mind, but I don't expect I can get it there.

I have a 26/27 large drum rear end with wire wheel hubs. No driveshaft (there is a cover plate over the hole) or radius rods, and the emergency brakes cams are cut short. Baking plates look nice and straight. asking $200, I think the wire wheel hubs are worth that. Located near Ventura, CA, local pi...

I have a brand new Ruckstell kit. The housing is a small drum and is machined for a closed spool. I have the later style, long nose shift lock with this, which added $150 to the cost of the kit (it's worth it!). New from Chaffin's now this would cost $2,650 plus the housing exchange (and sales tax i...

Some of you are aware that your shopping at Amazon can support the club if you select MTFCA as a charity on smile.amazon .com. Here is the text from informational report I received today: To date $634 has been donated. On my person report I see my purchases have generated $45 of this (I buy a lot on...

I used a regular oil based primer, like you would use for the wood on your home. Use black, not white! After sanding that I shot them with a single stage automotive enamel. That has plenty of flex, it won't crack.

Dallas;

You’re around Kendalville, aren’t you? I’m wondering what road you were on and where, I’m usually in that area visiting family a few times a year. All of my wife’s family is in NE Indiana. Their last name is Bontrager..... sorta like Smith in most places!

That really was a great story!

I have seen two ways of using a Ruckstell housing on an early rear end. One was to machine the recess so the lip of the spool fits over the housing. My neighbor did this on the one I put in my '15. It took some setup but worked very well. The other was to grind 1/2 of the lip off of the spool so it ...

I just opened the box to take these pictures

I have a new SCAT crank that is standard but manufactured with the rods at -.010; it is still in the box, and a new set of balanced SCAT rods. I bought it from SCAT this way. Thats almost perfect, 10 thousands makes no difference on a stock or near stock engine, and saves you $200 plus tax for the c...

Mark; I'll drop this after this last comment..... as a certified welder there is no way in hell I'd accept that weld; it doesn't even have adequate (meaning full) reinforcement, which is one of the fundamental basics of welding. No quality professional welder would ever accept or provide a weld like...

I know this was mentioned above, but that is a terrible weld. If you use this it needs to be redone.

Give me a call or send an email Matt, they’re here.

Also in 15 the reinforcing ribs appeared near the bolt holes.

Thanks Hank! I thought so, they're a nice set

Still available, I can chase the pinion spool bolt holes for you if you don't have the special tap.

I chased the spool bolt threads and the shift lock threads and packed this up for shipping. The backing plate is good, holes aren't wobbled out and the threads in the baking plate are nice and sharp. It appears to be a nice, just dirty, housing.

Small drum housing, it needs to be cleaned and sand blasted. $175 plus shipping, or I can take this to Davis, CA (near Sacramento) later this month but it needs to be paid in advance.

These look good, and the backing plates are good. $150, pick up in south CA. I'm going to Davis, near Sacramento CA, later this month. I can take them with me if that helps but they need to be paid in advance.

Complete engine with manifolds, NH carburetor, Ford Faithful. Turns over, not frozen, was stored covered. I haven't pulled all of the plugs but the one I did pull for the lifting ring looked great. The brake pedal was cut short. This has the late style bolts between the hogs head and block, and a 4 ...

Complete rear end. Shift locks moves and everything turns. Rear wheels need new wood but the demountable rims are there and aren't sharp. I have not had it open. You'll need to pick this up or arrange transport, I'm in southern CA. I will be making a trip to Davis (near Sacramento) later this month;...

I tried using a vibrating engraver; it worked but was painfully slow. I now do them after cutting off the rubber stem, prior to installing the metal one. It's quick and easy.

If someone buys this I have two spare engines they can have for it! Definitely enough parts to build a solid spare, plus some pieces left over!

Contact your own insurance and let them deal with the other one. The 35% sounds like BS.

Hi Chris

I just sent you an email, I think I've got what you need. I'm in Camarillo.

I started a post in OT, but it doesn't get as much traffic there. Not Ford, but I want to find a home for these; the price is right if you're working on a Star! There are two engines, one with a 23 casting date, the other is 24. Both are very near complete. One has the block busted up with freeze cr...

So far we've saved 4 chassis, 2 trailer loads and about 10 truck loads of parts, mostly T,A, late 30s Ford, some Buick and some Dodge. We're down to the last few bits... this is one I'd really like to find a home for!

Not Ford, but I want to find a home for these. There are two engines, one with a 23 casting date, the other is 24. Both are very near complete. One has the block busted up with freeze cracks, the other has a pulley on it for a stationary engine. It sure looks like enough to build one good engine. I’...

I run them on the front

Hi Hank.

I checked the number in the email, it's got the correct number. Please try again. I'll be out of coverage for about 30 minutes sometime early afternoon, otherwise it should be fine.

Hi Hank

I haven't heard back from you, I'm still interested in this. Hopefully you received my email.

Gary

I've sent an email through the system link, hopefully it has the same address as on your note!

You really don't need to do the alternator. I put a starter on my '11. I use a 6V Optima battery. I bought a Battery Tender; the connection is a pig tail about 12" long that hangs below the rear seat (you can barely see it). I can drive my car for days, always use the starter, and I don't have to ch...

The person who owns the property doesn't want people dismantling assemblies in the yard. Someone would need to take them as is.

I agree, that's why the owner is willing to give them to someone who wants them. I've found homes for a model A chassis and truck of model A stuff, 2 Buick chassis plus a trailer of other Buick stuff, and I've brought a bit home. We've made progress but there's still a Dodge chassis and a number of ...

There's a 1918 TT rear end and a TT Ruckstell. Both are complete and have external brakes. You can have them, but you've got to pick them up quickly, preferably by the weekend. You'll need to be able to load them. I don't know the date they'll be scrapped, but I know it will be by the middle of next...

Tom; The phone number you emailed for your friend is disconnected. I've put these up on the AACA site as well. All someone has to do is remove them, if they want to donate something to the grand kid's college fund that's great but not required. You've got to remove the entire undercarriage, it's not...

I've done this in 4 engines. Only one needed a little flap disking in one cylinder for the head to lie flat on the block without a gasket. I haven't tried a 09-10 head, but my '11 is runnung an early 11 head with this. The other heads have been in the '14 and up variety.

Terry;

This is about to be scrapped. Sure you don't want it? There is some sheet metal that may be for it.

Tom; it's in Southern CA. Best is to email me.. The price is right, but you've only got a few days.

Thank you Dick! There’s another 6 cylinder Dodge next to this, I don’t know the year. I wouldn’t have thought a car that late would have open valves, but who knows.... there doesn’t seem to be any way there could have been a cover, what with the pushrods running up the outside of the block. The 4 cy...

I know it's not Ford, but it appears to be early and large, at least that's what we think based on the aluminum engine case and open valves. It is 6 cylinder and it is definitely a large car. The springs are huge..... I need to identify this and find someone that wants it ASAP. Everything in the yar...

It's an awesome project, if I had space I'd buy it! Unfortunately I only have a 2 car garage....

Thank you! I followed the link for the Star and actually found a name of someone I know, I'll contact them. Next up is the Buick..... Gotta save these from the scrapyard!

I'll put a copy of this on the OT page, but that doesn't seem to be read as much.... I need to find people interested in, or involved with, Buick and Star vehicles. These are probably from the 30's.

If you can't find the rivet you need locally then go to McMaster Carr's website, they've got pretty much everythnig in the way of fasteners and they're fast and reasonable to ship.
