I need a new set of cylinder head studs. The last ones I bought were stainless and have stretched, so I want standard studs this time.

I understand there are four different lengths of studs used on Ford V8s (which I assume use the same studs), so can anyone please tell me the part numbers or lengths and quantities of each for the Zephyr? The car is 1938, but with cast iron heads.

Can somebody also please recommend a parts list, manual or whatever that lists this sort of information? and where I can buy one?

Thanks

Mike, the standard Ford flathead studs are the same for the Zephyr. The '37 to '48 Ford V8s and all lincoln 12s had 2 sizes. the long ones are 3.08" long and the short ones are 2.45" long. These are available from Mac's Auto or Sacramento Vintage Ford.

Thanks Peecher - just what I wanted to know. How many of each?

Mike

total of 44; 18 short ones and 26 long ones.

Perfect. Thanks.

For me, that is what this forum is all about. I have a small problem and get expert answers within a few hours. Thanks very much!

Mike
