Cam / crank ratio is 2:1. Yes your math is correct, but cam timing is reported and discussed in crank degrees, not cam degrees, so 1 cam degree is equal to 2 crank degrees. If the crank moves 1 degree, the cam moves half that amount.

Re: Where is the best place to buy tires for my T.

Frank- the $414 cost per Coker's web site is for 30 x 3½ Black smooth or Non-Skid tread. Regular tread black Firestone tires are $283.00 either from Coker or Summit. The SKU for these is 793850. Here is the link to the Summit page for the regular tread Firestones. https://www.summitracing.com/search...

Re: WTB Used Warford

There are three different Warford tranmissions. Aluminum case two speed, aluminum case 3 speed and the cast iron 3 speed that requires a rear cross member and a front u joint. You should probably specify which one you are looking for.

Re: 3 & 4 Dip Cast Aluminum Oil Sumps- Any Interest?

I can certainly check for you, but that is going to be one very heavy casting. I would imagine the metal cost alone would be north of $150.00

Re: New AC brakes available now?

Keith's observation is correct- that is not an AC pedal. Original AC brakes used a clamp on bracket that installed on the pedal shank just above the pedal shaft to provide an attachment point for the rod that pulled the equalizer assembly. The pedal shown has a lower arm that pushes toward the rear-...

Re: FS 1926 TWO DOOR SEDAN SEATS

Fastenal goes to Texas. Suggest boxed up and stretch wrapped on a pallet. Prices are pretty reasonable compared to LTL trucking.

Look up Blue Line Freight.

3 & 4 Dip Cast Aluminum Oil Sumps- Any Interest?

I have had several recent inquiries regarding my 3 and 4 Dip cast aluminum oil sumps. I have stocked these in the past but demand has dropped off over the years as costs have continued to increase. I can do a run of these if there is sufficient interest. The casting is designed to work with either a...

Re: Clutch Fork, what would cause this problem?

Some aftermarket clutch packs ( early Watts perhaps) were sold many years ago with a round wire high speed clutch spring from a modern automatic transmission (Buick?) that was just a tad bit too large in diameter and those would rub on the clutch fork arms. Just something to check.

Wayne- the red car behind Dave Moulton is Doug Abernathy with what looks like Doug's wife Sandy riding as mechanic. Might be me but pretty sure that was Sandy in that race. Car is easy to ID because of the huge gas tank that Doug had on the car.

What speedo? Ford Special? Pretty sure the arm with the hole takes the SW round 90 deg bracket with the tapered end, and then an intermediate bracket that clamps the swivel. Perhaps contact Russ Furstnow?

Re: Making new rear hub, correct taper

Just FYI, You really don't need 4140 for hubs. 1117 or 12l15 would machine much easier and still be plenty strong.
