To save a Ford flathead ?
Hi! I am not sure what to say but I have been falling down on my name recently.. Our government (small letters) is no different than anyones when it comes to disposing of old vehicles. Sad.
Anyway , This big ugly steel van has been picked up with a complete unmolested motor and trans (with 3' high stick) that a guy was supposed to drive away 31 years ago! The 6V battery is still attached!
I have had my share of fun with the late 40's and early 50's but are these worth saving now? I already have one at home that eventually went bad.
There are enough dead horses around here. If I don't get any incouragement, I will let it remain in peace, but I do have a problem with the phrase -- when they're gone , they're gone!!

I tried rubber isolators between the frame and pump, but it made little difference. I don't mind spinning the motor over to refill the carb(s), it allows time to build oil pressure, jmho..
