'39 deck lid latch??
I thought I had a deck lid latch figured out on my '39 Ford two door sedan. I was using the rear window latch off the doner car, an '86 S10 Blazer. I have it mounted on the trunk floor. It worked before but with the angle of the deck lid coming down makes it really hard to adjust and I think it's time to break down and invest in a Bearclaw or something more user friendly. Am I over thinking this thing? Also, if the latch is on the decklid, I'd think the cable would be kind of hard to route. What am I missing? thanks in advance, Rod
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
