Good running 1939 Buick engine just removed from parts car. Complete; carburetor, distributor, generator starter. Everything works but the fuel pump. I have personally heard the engine run. It is quiet with no knocks or smoke and gets good oil pressure. Fresh oil change, points and plugs. Engine number 13764707. Will need valve cover gasket. Wash it up, drop it in, and go. Located in RI. $500. Transmission also available at nominal cost.

Experimented with a rusty, gunked up Studebaker gas tank. Added a full gallon of white vinegar to empty tank, let it sit for four days swishing it around every so often. Drained it and washed it out well with the garden hose. Result: super clean tank down to clean metal in most places. Total cost: about $1.59. I'll let it dry in the sun for a few days and then I will add gas tank sealer. I honestly didn't think it would work but it did.

Looking for automatic transmission for my 1961 Ford Galaxie with 292 Y Block. Cruisomatic 3 speed.

Picked up a 1961 Galaxie project, 292 Y Block, missing the flex plate and the torque converter. Judging from the selector shift, appears to be a Cruisomatic 2 speed AT. Any leads greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Located a 1959 292 cu in Y Block motor from a pu truck and planning to install it in my 1961 Galaxy with AT. Would appreciate advice on necessary modifications, if any. Thank you!!

From what I've found, the gentleman is right; Ford didn't put 312s in trucks. For 1956 it was: 223, 239, 256, 272, 279 motors.
-
Any of you folks know if a 1956 Ford 312 truck motor could replace a 292 Y Block motor in a 1961 Ford car? All replies greatly appreciated. TY.
-
Thank you. I will do a closer inspection. I'll bet you're right.

I purchased a partially restored 1930 Standard Roadster a while back and I noticed that the rear fenders don't have support braces. There are no holes anywhere on the fenders or the body for the braces to mount. Did Ford ever make Model A's without rear fender braces? All answers greatly appreciated!

Can a later model T Ford transmission be used in an earlier (1922) Model T
? I know there is a difference in the width of one drum but I don't know if this is an issue. All answers appreciated!

Rumor has it that 1936-1948 Chevy front wheel cylinders can be used in place for the unavailable 1950 ones. Any ideas about this? All replies appreciated!
-
Thank you, Frank. Let me lay out the assembly, take measurements and pictures, and disassemble. I will get back to you on the bows and will contact John.

I own a nice, solid 1915 Maxwell touring car but the top bows are a real mess. Wood bows have rotted and broken areas. The "sockets" or metal tubes the bows fit into are deteriorated, also. This work is beyond my normal mechanical/ body work skill. Does anyone know of a shop that restores top bow assemblies? How could they possibly be shipped? Any answers greatly appreciated.

trick is to get the engine running!

My newly acquired 1948 Lincoln V12 appears to have several stuck valves after long term storage. I am considering removing the heads to gain access to the valves but have heard that these particular heads are really difficult to remove. Why, i can't imagine. (rusty studs?) Any input would be greatly appreciated.
-
Detergent. Non-detergent oil is garbage.
-
THANK YOU! Finally, the information I needed.
-
I recently purchased a 1948 Lincoln Continental V12 out of long (not so great) storage and am finding this car a real mystery. Would someone kindly explain how the spark is distributed to the distributor caps as I cannot see a conventional rotor(s). Looking inside, with caps removed, I see a series of brass "tracks" surrounding a rotating shaft. Are these eccentric tracks touching the different posts of the caps as they turn? Help greatly appreciated. Thanks.
