If it's an original 1940 Ford droptop, it's vacuum powered. There should be a vacuum line from the intake manifold to a control on the left side of the steering column. I understand that some have an electric motor to generate vacuum, but I've never seen that. Since it drops easily and requires a little assist to raise, it sounds like you have weak vacuum. If it's not original, or it's a conversion, then I don't have a clue. Photos would help.Last edited by Henry Rifle; 07-24-2015 at 03:10 PM.
