1936 Ford Cabriolet · Rare Easter color Bambalino Blue
We snagged this killer 1936 Ford cabriolet from a good friend that was ready to retire and just couldn't work on her much more. Hank Snow called me to come over and take a look at his cabriolet and help him price it, but when I got there I completely fell in love with it.
He bought it in about 1986-7 and started rebuilding it. Over the years Hank would search out all the right parts, NOS parts and ones better than he had and swapped them out until he had an almost near perfect car! Hank rebuilt it 100% and did all the work and painted it himself.
Hank kept calling it an Easter color, which I didn't understand but after I got home I found out that Ford offered several "Easter colors" for a couple months and then discontinued them. Bambalino blue was the color Hank chose to paint this beautiful car! I made a good offer on the car, and Hank told me he'd take it.
He told me he wanted to keep it from anyone that would hot rod it, and I told him I'd like to leave it pretty much the way he built it. But after thinking about it, I think I'm going to lower it a little bit and add juice brakes. I hope he's ok with that! LOL!

1939 Ford Transmission gear swap! · Pomona Panel gets a '39 trans!!

Just before our yearly east coast trip to Old North State Invitational car show, Carlisle swap meet, TROG and Hershey swap meet, I decided to do a trans and rear end swap!

    As we are based in Arizona, what Ford originally recommended to all dealers due to the heat was to just add 3-5 intake gaskets to make a phenolic spacer. It works great. But honestly Vapor lock is the Flathead Boogy man. It 9 times out of 10 isn't the problem. I have had it be bad carb issues all the way to the coils over heating. Because everyone wants to mount them to the head. Anyone that tells you they have vapor lock they have about 10 other things they need to check for before vapor lock is even addressed. Often it just isn't the real probllem.

    You might want to check the trans case for cracks where the cluster shaft passes through the case. When things "let go" and that cluster locked up with gear teeth between the cluster and second gear, something had to give. That case might be cracked at the front and rear. Check it out and look really good. Another thing, always use a 3/4" or a little smaller wood dowel to punch out the cluster shaft. Using a steel punch might distort the end of the cluster shaft and you'll have problems getting it out and installing it back in the case, not to mention leaks if you do get it back in. Nice video, keep up the good work.

    How can I test a fuel pump. My engine fires up by pouring gas into the carb, but that's all.

    • @chaddilacdesigns
      @chaddilacdesigns Місяць тому

      Well there's a couple things that could be wrong... the first and easiest would be to swap out the fuel pump. To check it, pull your inlet line off and as it cranks and runs off gas put your finger over the inlet to see if it's sucks your finger toward it. If the pump has lost it's prime you can push air into the gas tank with your mouth or air chuck sealing the opening off, it will push gas into the sediment bowl. But it could also be the incorrect rod length or it could be the cam lobe worn down, depending on the motor and if it's used or new. If you take the fuel pump off the stand and reinstall it you can feel the pump as you install it you'll have to push the pump down, that will kinda tell you if you have the correct pump rod length. There are 2 lengths, the 8BA is just a slick rod, the 59A style has a small umbrella on it. Hope that helps a little, keep me posted on what your figure out! Chaddilac
