There're lots of sources for glass, dividers bars, latches, handles, etc., but I can't metal frames that actually hold the darn glass. Maybe that's why some guys 'n gals go with one-piece windows! Last Fall a guy at a show mentioned that one of the NOS/repro dealers (name unknown of course) was selling reproduction frames, but my calls to my usual suppliers have been unsuccessful.

I have removed all keeper pins and both of the rear main pins. I also used a slide hammer to remove one of the front pins. The problem is when I threaded the hammer on the last pin I just pulled a .5 inch section out. Evidently the pin had broken somewhere through its life. How do I get it out?? There is no access hole I can reach from inside the frame, I would rather not drill one because the bed crossmember is in the way. Any advice?

It's just difficult to find and access. I used a small ratchet extension on an angle to drive the pin out.

According to "Tex Smith's 'The Complete Ford Flathead V8 Engine Manual'", Holley 94's were rated for 155 or 162 CFM (depending on whether it was a 59 or 8BA model), and actual measured CFM was 150 to 158 or 158 to 165. Holley 94 cores are much easier to find than Strombergs. Try Red's Headers (http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.reds-headers.com), Early Ford V8 Sales (http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.earlyford.com) or Vintage Speed (http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.vintagespeed.com) among others. By the way, I thought that at least the Offenhauser triple intake manifolds were spaced just a little too tight for Holleys and needed the Strombergs. I don't know if this is true for other triple carb intake manifolds.

If the tire size, rear end, or transmission have been changed then the speedometer can read wrong. This can be corrected by changing the speedo driven gear inside the transmission. There's a formula (which I keep writing down and losing) for determining how many teeth the gear should have. If you have an original transmission then the most practical thing to do is figure out how off you are and mentally add that amount every time you look at the speedo. They don't make replacement speedo gears for the original transmissions. ~Dan 1950 F1 351C--Feeling neglected? 1992 Mustang LX--Feeling the effects of old age?

I'll check out the web sites. The intake that I have is for an FE. I have an old Edelbrock that is set up with three of the Model 94 carbs. During shipping one of the end carbs flange got bent and I'm looking for a replacement. I was curious about the flow numbers because I wanted to put this setup on my 410, but may settle putting it on my 390 instead. It has a cool look to it.

Nick ------------------------------ From: "Gary L. Perry" Subject: Re: F4 Front Brake Parts Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2000 03:19:01 -0600 Nick, I use area brake parts wholesaler/retailer that uses my old cores and install new linings, including rivets if used. 'Bought the same price as shoes would be that can't be found. $25-$30 a shoe if I remember right. It's the wheel cylinders that will get you! Paid $55 a piece for mine and there are 4 in rear. Can still get those I believe. There is an obsolete Ford parts system I can find tele numbers for if you want to try for NOS parts. Costs lots more. The name Green's comes to mind, need Ford part #'s though. Let me know and I'll look up if you want them.
