I replaced it with a new one and now the fuel is flooding out of the carb?? The car did run in the driveway a for bit with the old pump and there was no flooding. Could the new pump just have too much pressure?



I took the old pump apart and could not see any tear in the diaphram?? The look of the old one with the glass bowl on bottom is great but I couldn't find a rebuild kit for it. Anyone have a lead for that?



Thanks!

My Aunt is giving me this car, I have been wanting this kind of car for years. So when I found out she had one that broke down awhile ago I asked her for it. She lives far away from me, I would pay for towing and any repairs.



It was not driven too long. However I'm not too car savvy. I have many friend who are will to help repair it, if I supply the parts of course.



The catch is the car was and has been sitting since it broke down, most likely 20 or so years.



I would like to know what is the worst possible case that is wrong with the car after it sits that long?



Also it is free, but after all the repairs and time put into it would it be cheaper to buy one, fully repaired or even in better condition then this one?



Please help,

I am restoring a 1949 Ford F1 Pickup. I am currently trying to install new glass into the cab with new rubber. I am having a difficult time getting the rear window with the rubber mounted on it to seat properly in the rear window. I am installing it from inside with a friend to pull on the rope from the outside. I purchased the glass from LMCTruck.com so I believe the glass is not the problem. I am using a spray on soapy water mixture to help with install.



The problem is the 2 lower corners just will not seat. Is there a shoe-horn tool or some tool that will help with this install. Thanks in advance.

The drive shaft? the differential? or the axle?



Yes, I know they've ALL got to be replaced, so have that plan for a "rainy day" but for now, just wondering what we should be the most cautious of?



Oh, it's [assumed from factory?] 272 Y-Block, single exhaust, and std tranny, which I presume to be "Ford-O-Matic".



Thanks,

I bought the car to get some parts off it that I needed now I just need to part it or sale it.

The car is located in Carrollton TX (near Dallas)

I'm not trying to make a killing on this so tell me what you need and we'll work on a price. I have no problem getting pics of anything you want.

And I will ship most everything at your expense of course

so give me call or shoot me an email

I don't want to spend the money on Clifford stuff.

Has anybody made their own? Is there an outlet for flanges or just trace some gaskets and cut your own?

Any ideas or pictures.



Thanks

I am looking for an original engine w/transmission. I will rebuild. It does not need to be running.



Also, a front axle and a rear drivetrain.



What should I be paying for half-decent shaped parts?



Thanks for any help.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/85305/55-ford-crown-vic Sat, 06 Sep 2008 16:21:57 +0000 JJ5311 85305@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/93287/hood-louvre-service Thu, 08 Jan 2009 18:03:23 +0000 Fanford57 93287@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/91442/ford-223-cid-inline-6 Sat, 13 Dec 2008 23:37:44 +0000 Ford223 91442@/forum/discussions
Bored .030 over and Balanced.



Complete Cylinder Head Rebuild.

Compression Ratio is 9.8 to 1. Stock was 7.4 to 1.



Clifford Aluminum Intake with a Holley 350 CFM 2 BBL



Clifford “shorty” Truck Headers w/ VHT 1500 Ceramic Paint.



Clifford X-pipe to balance duel Flowmaster exhaust system.



All improvements probably added 50 HP to the stock 135 HP…

Not a lot of total horsepower, but moves the truck well with the air conditioner on.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/92211/my-73-mustang-with-a-302 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 23:12:38 +0000 92211@/forum/discussions
