Hi Frank Welcome.. And yes i know who you are it's great to have you here.
Two of your answers are in our daily JS trivia question thread in the fine point forum. We just went over the fan belt colors and the radiator hoses.
There is some good reading there

As for the cap and rotor,
The distributor cap and body were black Bakelite. The
body had cadmium plated spark plug connector contacts.
The distributor body from 1928 through December
1930 had two notches at the top of the opening where
the control arm protrudes. Thereafter the opening was
rectangular. In July 1931 a Ford script was added to the
distributor body between the number 1 and 2 contact
points. In August 1931 "U.S.A." was added below the
Ford script. Original distributor bodies have only one slot
in the lower skirt for the locating pin. The distributor cap
had a double Ford script through March 1928. Thereafter,
the cap was plain.
So it appears unproven that red was used at the factory.Last edited by Mike V. Florida; 09-03-2017, 12:34 AM.Comment

I am trapped with one car in Florida (with my Les Andrews Red Book) and one in Georgia. I think that my question would be answered with the book. I am working on the one in Georgia and need to buy a fan belt. Can anyone tell me the size and if I can just get this at an auto parts store?06-21-2017, 12:11 PM -
Has anyone tried to touch up the red stripe on the radiator hoses? I have had my hoses on and off a couple of times and the red stripe has gotten worn thru in places.03-21-2018, 08:33 AM -
Anybody run a fan belt that is not wrapped or a cogged belt. Mine developed a squeak that wasn't consistent with valve train noise nor crankshaft or rods.I have all three fan pulley, crankshaft, and alternator new with about 1500 miles on them. They look new. I never have had luck with the wrapped belts. Any suggestions?...08-06-2017, 01:20 AM -
So, replaced radiator with new bergs, replaced water pump with Rupert extreme leak less, replaced 4 blade fan with new two blade fan. Hooked everything up, started car and noticed fan belt wobbleing on far side. Took a straight edge and it seems that the pulleys are about 1/8 or so out of alignment.. Didn't take the generator off just loosened it so assuming the fan pulley is the problem. It's on...08-05-2018, 07:52 PM -

I have a motometer on my Tudor.My question is the horizontal line in the middle of the meter says " Summer Average "
My question is what was the operating temperature Ford intended for the motor to be at when the gauge is at the Summer-Average? My temp reads 150-160 degrees with the when it hits the summer-average mark.
I do realize this was an accessory and not factory...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
