The circuit design looks a bit different than the one I have, however, it it fits in the long generator case with the right clearances, give it a try....

Happy birthday Ports !

Happy birthday Jim !

For a Driver ONLY....Not fine point!...

wrndln, FYI, We have used these on our A for over 10 yrs. & are pleased with them. Buy with confidence, pAt S.

I have a mid-80s 351w that I put in my 47 Ford. The issue that I'm having is, I think it's a 351 bracket, which puts the pump too far out.



I found this 302 bracket D80C-3C511-AA and wondering if this would bring the pump in closer?

Thank you for this...

I have a question about the proper assembly of drum taillight parts. I am attaching some pictures of the three parts I have now - the nickel plated housing, the lense and the metal STOP plate. However after looking at Bratton's catalog, it shows two additional parts for drum taillights. The first is a lense gasket in the second picture and 2 small cork looking gaskets in the third picture. Were...

L Jones,
There are no markings on the transistor can.

Also thanks to those who responded and to Mitch for the good link concerning EVR's.

I'm still trying to find a good wiring schematic. There's one power wire running to the passenger side seat the little one I'm missing may just be for the seats that come with the memory function which I don't have. I tore more of the truck apart to find a connection break but had no such luck seems it's connected to the dash harness. I will have to order 2 data cables for the usb ports in the new...

I told my wife her underwear was too tight and way to revealing.

She told me to stop wearing it....

I have returned from being out yonder. Tax refund this year is $1233.00, a bit less than last year but don't let that deter anyone from continuing to donate to one or more of my many Go-Fund-Me accounts. Every little bit helps the needy ya know!!!!

L Jones That TO-99 part would be a comparator, LM111H, perhaps.

This topic caught my interest.
Here is a Universal that belonged to my father. He likely used it with his 29 Sport Coupe which he brought new.

Well I have returned to Shady Acres Retirement and Spa for most of the day. Veronica, Geema and I watching Phineas and Ferb this morning.

Morning
I joined the local car club in the early 70's and we had several drives and picnics and car shows in local parking lots every year.
No trophies or entry fees, just got together and had fun like a large family outing.
Now the club is mostly hot rods and corvettes and you have to pay a entry fee for everything that they do.
The club is no longer a fun family group, it...

Mornin'

Farm paperwork complete, now on to TurboTax to do 2022 taxes.

Mornin' all, cold as a well digger's -- too cold ta heat the hangar. Got the hard core country music on. Be safe out there taday.

Good morning everyone. I had my electrican come out and check my building fans that are not working as they used too. I guess after 12-years of service, most of the switches and fans have gotten tired of working and just gave out. So, I will be replacing my ceiling fans and switches with new updated ones and while I am at it I will replace my old overhead lights with LED's. Have a good day! Hoote...

There may be some good hints in the fuse identification layout....

JP, I wanted to add one thing to your welcome. Take some time to search the other subforums in this site. Mitch and others have really put together a wealth of technical information for most of the common issues. Unlike other forums, no one will blast you for asking a question that is answered in other places, so dont hesitate to ask, but the technical articles make for great reading. I learned a...

When I lived in San Diego, I had a marine VHF in my car and used the ship to shore phone in the 1970's as I traveled up and down the coast on business. Highly illegal!

Good Monday Morning.

Another day of bliss out in the country.
A little snow overnight to attend to and with the temps back up to a seasonal -11C this morning, it'll be a pleasure to be outside.

I'll try and remember to take the phone out when feeding the herd today.
Only 4 or 5 animals and no one brave enough to eat out of my hand this winter. . . . yet!

Allow extra drive time ! Just heard from my son 1 1/2 hour longer commute for him....

Ice and snow out yonder way and I have to wander yonder way to file my tax return. Main reason I have a 4X4 pickemuptruck for the time I must wander out yonder in this kinda weather. I tink I might have a breakie while out sondering about!!!

Good Morning VFF. Had a rainy night but clearing up this morning. I got to get over yonder to my Boys house to meet a guy that's doing a repair. Always glad to help folks that are still working. Jon, have a safe trip down to the Sunshine State. Geepa, keep your eyes on the road too. Everyone be safe and be cool. Pat don't wander too far.

Happy Monday
I have my coat of many layers on now, as the diesel is warming up in the driveway.
I’m headed out now to get Adeline off to school and be with Ronnie for the day……

Talk Soon
Stay Safe, Listen to the little Drill Sargent Voice in your Head and Remain Jimbo

Good Morning Y'all

Hitting the road for Florida this morning.

Have a great Monday.

Good Morning VFF -4 F but feels colder, so the cats and the wife are on their own today. High of 2 F forecasted today with the rest of the week not much better. Good Day and layer up

Good morning. Been going through the membership records that I received for my local club. Since dues were due end of last year I've been making phone calls. One decided not to renew and found out another passed away in August at the age of 95. Cardiologist appointment this afternoon....

Good morning!!

To help better date the tire gauges, here is a photo out of the March 1st, 1929 Schrader catalog showing the various tire gauges available at the time:




....and the 1931 Schrader catalog:




....and the 1932 Schrader catalog:



Interesting that there is no mention of Don's "goose neck" (#15) gauges...

Will let you know, I haven't figured out yet if it's able to be separated from the dash harness yet. I have worked out what wires power the motors so I will check the plug when I get home. I may just have to add the circuit for the cooling fans....

Glad I could help 🤣...

Good morning...

Don,

I'm looking for a Schrader tire gauge, with a Ford script, but where the units are in kg (kilograms).

I have one, but it is very warn on the outside. Stamped on the end of the plunger is "1 to 4 kg" and on the side of the barrel, under the Ford script, is stamped "RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE, KILOGRAMMES 2.500".

Here is a photo of the...

That looks like one of Toms for the long generator.
The ones for the powerhouse were different.
If you are using a diode cutout you will need to cut a wire.

Look at the round metal part and see if there are any numbers on it, if there are numbers PLEASE post them here.
So far they have all been sanded off.

I bought an EVR (Electronic Voltage Regulator) at MARC swap meet a few years ago. I got a pretty good deal on it. I think it is one made by the late Tom Wesenberg. I took pictures of the top and bottom of the EVR and posted them below. I am not sure if Tom's regulators work on both powerhouse and long generators or he made different ones for each style generator. My question is: Will this EVR...

Ha Ha, you’re old now!...

I saw Dennis and stopped to see his filter setup. Very slick!...

Practical mods for daily driving would be seat belts, turn signals, alternator and 12vdc negative ground mod, electronic ignition, and a grill rock guard. The best choices are the ones that you elect to pursue....

Congrats 29Acoupe, you just hit 100 posts and I believe that Mitch will be sending you a VFF branded box of Depends ;-) I agree that the Ebay mascot was not by LaLique...perhaps by Ronnie LaLick, but definitely not by Rene LaLique.

Oh you know I can definitely fix you up 😊
Call me anytime 👍🏻...

The glass other than the windshield is the most commonly replaced with plate. If the windshield is not original, it is probably plate also. Check carefully. I think think plate glass is the most dangerously overlooked potential trouble in an unrestored A....

LaLique was a lot better at sculpting than whoever made that. The guy who listed it was very smart putting the "?" after LaLique leaving the decision of who its creator was up to the bidder.

I've done similarly with my drill press. My vise squares some things nicely. I use finesse by nature when appropriate....

Thanks Marco. That's quite a compliment. I'm not known for my photography skills. Photo was taken with a Samsung phone camera....

Were you able to get the applicable harnesses along with the Seats, console, etc.?...

These 5 gauges are not even the "tip of the ice-burg". The complete collection of tire gauges consists of around 200 gauges, not counting the duplicates, which are for sale. I'll be posting them on the Swap Meet page as I find time....

I have a large heavy duty drill press that I use as a press for small items you can feel how it is going and stop before it breaks something if it does not feel wright
i also have a large electric press that I use on large items...

Heating and cooling parts is usually done on larger parts like cylinder sleeves
it will have little or no effect on small bushings...

I've always used my vise without issue.

Now I got to figure out if I want to go up yonder or down yonder to get to overyonder. Thanks, Buck...

Welcome JCP...

The bushings will soon warm up to the temperature of the housing and not be of much use, warm the housing in an oven and use thick gloves !...

It's only a little over 5 hr drive for you. ...

I got the truck side of the harness pinned in for the sport bar 3rd brake light. Had to remove the fuse block under the hood and take apart the plug and swap out the wire for the trucks 3rd brake light for the sport bars light. More wiring fun to come. Trying to keep everything up to factory standards and avoid splicing wires.

I just pressed a pair in on Friday from each end. I pressed them in with a friend's press, and he fortunately has the reamer too. Everything went well. On the top one, I had heard of cracking it, but I made sure it started absolutely straight and put some oil on it to keep it from binding. Maybe I should have used the vise to press them in, but all did go well with the press.

It is very important that you use clear satin to seal it or it will rust within 48 hours. Be sure you metal is clean before you start then process...

Damn. I just passed on two of those at an antique shop last week. GRRRR! Jim.

Great info Don, and a wonderful collection

You are quite welcome, I'm going to try it.

Just for fun, here is what the flip side of #14 on Don's gauge might look like. Mine is probably from the Model T era though.

A friend rebuilds Diesel engines and was telling me how he puts piston sleeves in the freezer overnight and the next day drops them into there cylinder holes . Maybe worth a try on brass bushings?...
