Anyway, i currently own an austin 10/4 saloon with a problem!



Today as i was undoing a stud, i pulled out a silver screw type sleeve inside the stud hole. This seems to be some sort of screw thread filler sleeve that is holding the stud into the hole. Even though this has come out, there is still a thread inside the stud hole, which is too big for the srud. Does anyone have an idea of what this part could be or where to buy one?

The stud size is 3/8 BSF.

Can anyone help me identify this car? It was rescued from a field in Argentina several years ago. It has a Ford Flathead V8.

Thanks

I am new to the flathead scene and could use some help from all you guys. I am building a 1930 Ford Model A pickup rod and want to power it with a flaty. My question is what would be the best years and what to look for? I did find one near by that the owner says it is a 49-53 and has a EAB stamped on the head. What does the EAB stand for? Any info would be really appreciated! I am in the Cleveland area so if anybody my way has one they want to part with please drop me a line.

professionally. However the temp gauge stays at 'H' all the time.I actually removed the gauge to see if it had a problem and when it appeared to not have one I attempted to put it back and it broke.(the pointer). So now I bought a new one and got it in this time.With the ignition on, the needle does not budge from H. There is juice going to the gauge from the dual terminal sending unit on the driver side head. The other side also has juice. (By the way, in this setup where does the juice originate?Where do the sending units get powered from?)This may seem elementary but I'm somewhat new to flatheads.

Must I replace both sending units or is there a way to test them?

I just installed two new thermostats and the heater blows warm air.

Is the gauge supposed to go to cold as the ignition is turned on similar to the fuel gauge which moves as soon as it is powered up?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Just happen to have a 5 speed chevette tranny and a flattie that I am building for my dad to put in a model a roadster PU. Any details would be appreciated, I am not an experienced flathead guy. I am into mopars and hemis and this is pretty foreign to me.
