Cousin Dave and I did finally get everything sorted out and the engine is back in the car and sounds great. We put about 5 miles on the car before the Christmas holidays and everything seems to be good! Still have the hood to put back on the car before I can say we've finished the job.

Thanks for the Dale & Dave story. Very interesting. I'll look forward to seeing the car on the Six Cylinder Tour in Michigan.
See you Touring the Back Roads

Great to hear! I'll bring my trailer just in case though...
Question about the picture of your engine: I installed my glass bowl fuel pump, then took the chassis to my painter. He had 3-4 Ford guys in the shop, and they all asked why I had the fuel pump on upside down. They said the sediment is to settle in the bottom of the glass bowl, and running it the way we have it will just plug it. Is that right, or should I just stop listening to Ford guys??

I've never seen one installed upside down! All the photos I've seen of engines have the bowl upright. Gene??

Yes, the glass bowl is on top. The gas "comes and goes" at a higher level so there is room for dirt on the bottom. It is a filter bowl (the glass). The 1929-1936 (except 1934) was the other way around, had no filter, and it acted as a sediment bowl.

That must explain it... They were model T and A guys! Thanks, Gene. I really didn't want to play with it!
