If you're talking about the clear glass "bowl" at the fuel pump, that's the filter. Should be a sintered bronze element in there that's removable for cleaning. This if from the day before making everything disposable.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Ireland's Child, I'm still here, just waiting for a column drop which is holding up several steps related to the steering. You have talked me out of braided tubing since I guess I can try bending steel tubing and waste several and still come out cheaper. Your setup is beautiful! I also note that you opted for a tall e-brake handle similar to what I have which makes the A look a little more like a resto-rod. I think I paid less than $20for a tubing bender and I have previous experience with a 37 degree flaring tool that I am not anxious to repeat.

You can get some SS tubing from Summit as well but it is a b**** to bend. The braided stuff on mine just kinda grew....and grew....and grew. Only if you have a real good flare will 37deg flares work - I started with a <$50 tool from Speedway then wasted some SS tubing for my brake system trying to make it work then went and bought the RIGID setup. Tubing benders are reasonable - but the inexpensive ones usually don't work too well w/SS. The photo shows what I have - it has done my car's brakes as well as a buddys '32 coupe.
Braided line is tough as well as very time consuming (and bloody fingers) to do though there is a new tool to help that I don't have. Another thing most folks don't understand is the very long bend radius for -6 and up braided lines.
The long e-brake handle 'just looks right' but the original 23" shifter handle was just wrong for the roadster so I bought a replacement 16". The 23" handle was correct for the sedan that I started with though - but that's another story !!

Hey everyone! So I've been searching high and low for the #rs on my motor, but the only ones that I can seem to find are on the heads.
On the passenger side the #rs read:

EAC
On the driver's side the #rs read:
F
C18 2
EAC
***With these numbers, i was just wondering if anybody could tell the exact specs of the motor (year, horsepower, and the correct carburator to use). Is the '49-'53 holley 94 the right carb to use??? If so where can I get one and for how much? ANother quick question...where can I get a chrysler coil @ & for how much??? Thanks!Last edited by Fordfanatic415; 12-13-2006 at 03:04 PM.
