I'm trying to establish if the cam portion of my brake pedal is worn enough to warrant replacing the pedal. The pedal stroke seems to be too short, and so the band needs to be overly tightened to compensate, at least it seems that way.
The pedal supports are new reproduction parts.

Question: How much pedal free play can be considered within...

I have had to get new bearings for a 920-1 cast iron warford this week. Old MTFCA posts were helpful, but I don't think there was anything recent so I will post some information to aid people who might be rebuilding one.

This is old information that I am pretty sure was published directly by Warford:

Well, sorta kinda.
It's not the worst thing I've seen done to a T. Other than more H.P., though, it won't off-road any better than a stocker!

Dear 2026 Bakersfield Swap Meet vendors and attendees,

For personal and practical reasons, it has been formally decided that I will no longer be spearheading the 2026 Bakersfield Brass Era/ PreWar Swap Meet. Therefore, all vendor fees received thus far, or by me in the future, will be returned via the self addressed stamped...

I just bought a really nice manifold heater. It is straight as a die and the exhaust pipe threads are perfect. The screws holding the tins on came right out. It did not come with the parts that go in the floorboard so I have to find or make them. I have looked at different ones in the forum and other places and I don’t see one quite like this. It...

I need to ask a real neophite question: Exactly how should I attach to it to lift the engine?

AM getting closer to where I can start removal of my engine and transmission to find what cut my pan from inside.
In the Ford Bible that just arrived they show lifing the engine with an ice-tong type of gripper gadget,
In one Youtube the guy has an eye...

I needed to take the pan off a engine built (too) many years ago to check things and get it ready for installing my Rajo BB head. In the process, I mangled the new style crank seal I had installed. I have both felt seals and a new style seal that I could install. Can’t make up my mind which to use. The new one would probably seal better, but seems...

I am looking for some tops/lids for Boyco gas/oil/water running board cans. I tried to find the chafing dish fuel cans as suggested in the past but they are not the right size on the brand I found.
I talked to Howell's Sheet Metal who makes new cans and holders but they have not found a source for the lids.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I am getting ready to reassemble my 26 speedster and thought I would take a good look at the frame. It has about 1/4 inch sag in the middle, not a big deal and placing a long straight edge on the frame rails shows that they are both straight side to side. However, the frame in front of the rear crossmember is about 3/8 inch wider than frame behind...

Sorry but I'm so confused now.

So my rims are Kelsey and look just like the drawing via the drawings on this site under resources. If I look at my felloes they are flat on one side which appears to be Ford under the ford 2845B drawing or 2845C drawing.

So do I have Kelsey rims on Ford fellows?
