    '51 8n side mount question

    Could be dirty idle curcuit in the carb Most of my 8ns--- clone or MS carb, run with idle mix screw about 1/2 turn out. Idle curcuit headwaters are where the .048 wire pokes out just above the main jet. (Sometimes the stepped passage is partially blocked with sediments) These pics show...

    '51 8n side mount question

    Hi boler76, Is the popping only at idle? When its warmed up, does it hesitate, surge, or bog down like its running lean, at higher than idle rpms, or does it run fine? A restricted carb idle circuit would only cause low rpm issues

    8N bogs down

    From post #23 "Not much of an update... I swapped 3 and 4 and it seemed to make a difference until the engine got hot, then back to the same nonsense!" From post #15 From Dell (WA) (RIP) Need to prove spark, IMHO :)

    641 6 volt coil question

    Does your Neihoff tester measure amps? If yes, with amps and volts, you can derive the ohms, as you prolly know. (Maybe that's what you're saying?) If 12.6 v ÷ 4.2 amps = 3.0 ohms. Would want meter to go up to 10 amps or so, as 12.6v ÷ only1.5 ohms = 8.4 amps.

    641 6 volt coil question

    Your resistor #105710 is the .6 ohm pictured in post #37. Guessing it does increase resistance with heat, but just isn't in the listing. Glad its working!😀

    641 6 volt coil question

    Just curious, do the .8 ohm resistors increase with heat to 1.75 like this one?

    Front Pulley Nut

    Hi Jim, This bolt came to me on a non running 8n, all chewed up. PO had loosend, then tightened with im guessing a chisel. I got if off same way Not sure if heat from welding would damage the crank seals... John

    dropped sleeves

    Yes, sleeves can drop and tangle with the crank. Some hear a knock. .040 sleeves came with early 8ns with a star shape preceding, and then following the serial number. Ford changed the symbol to a diamond on later 8ns designating .090 thick sleeves. .040 sleeves dont have much of a flange...

    Drag tube lengths

    Hi Boda, I have 5 8n sidemounts with the 28.5 tubes, on both sides. And, darn it, the 6th one has the 11"tube on the starboard side. Has the super long rear tie rod end. Its a late 51, early 8n-C. December 51. Maybe not original...

    Installing a bumper on my 8N

    Understand the hole pattern. Now I see my mistake, your axle is one hole narrower than mine. Oops😬

    Installing a bumper on my 8N

    Hi CFB, can put a 2x4 across and jack up on the oil pan, or one axle side at a time, or both axle sides at once. Wonder if all you bolts can stay put, and just add the longer bolt for the bumper, so 3 bolts per side

    I951 Ford 8N - Upper radiator hose tapered or straight?

    Hi icehose, The upper hose is straight, and connects to the snout on the head. Lower hose connects to the pump. Its hard to push the t stat in dry. Dish soap and a pushing with a socket on an extension are how I've done it.(push on the exterior barrel, not the smaller wax pellet) Wax pellet to...

    641 6 volt coil question

    Hi ole fred, if you get a 1.8 - 2.0 ohm resistor, it should run fine. You will still have a positive ground coil running in a negative ground system. Here is a post where JMOR( RIP) gave info on that topic---...

    641 6 volt coil question

    From post #41 "Soaked you are off your rocker if it works so well why did you have change out 6 volt coils to 12 volt coils ? Because of lack of spark during cranking and adding a resistor on it reduces spark during cranking even more ." There is no lack of spark if cranking the 6 volt coil by...
