When I was 20 years old I had a 1965 Ford Falcon with a 289 in it . It did a lot of pinging . I was told it was cheap gas . I assumed it was.

I bought a spare tire cover and covered the spare tire .I             started having overheating problem immediately. Since I liked the cover I asked around and decided to cut a 3 X 10 rectangle on the top of the engine cover and bought a grate to cover it . It looks nice and run about 180 to 220 degrees .

I mounted mine on the tunnel ahead of the gear shift worked fine .

Today I was in Amish country looking at new kitchen stuff .I said to the Amish dude . Do any Amish do stainless steel work . He said a couple of miles down the road there is a guy who can make anything out of stainless and he does nice work . I didn’t have a lot of time today but I plan on a visit before I go to Carlisle . Does anyone know if…[Read more]

Your engine looks like mine . I could never figure out the hose that goes from the fan shroud to the carb so I replaced it with a air filter . The holes in the shroud is an easy fix . Go to your local hardware buy expandable drain plugs take the car with you to get a good fit . They look good and they are cheap . In my opinion plugging those holes…[Read more]

Welcome Mary ! I to have a London Roadster . I live in Western NY . I suspect that it a VW engine . Post a engine pic . We will let you know if its a VW engine . As you will find out there is not a lot of info on these cars .

Same type of thing happened to me today. Bought a large roll of dust tape a week ago . Made the comment this will last me the rest of my life . Today I bought another roll .

It looks like a mechanical oil sending unit with a oil temperature gage to me

Welcome ! Just wait to you get to know us .

NO oil filter on my London Roadster either . There is a U-Tube video on how to install one . I have tried lots of different oils . Amsoil ,Royal Purple , Lucas racing oil etc . I am partial to Brad Penn 20 w 50 . You need a high zinc oil . When I made the switch to Brad Penn the oil temp ran 180 to 200 degrees

Me too. Maybe the drawing will do. I was a tool maker for 30 years and still know people who could make these .

Jberry is right. Make sure you have some kind of towing package . Either AAA or maybe your collectors insurance company . There was a lengthy discussion here about the one that is the best . Something that happened to me . I broke down called insurance company, they sent a tow truck where I was told we couldn’t ride in the truck . I called my…[Read more]

Had the same problem with my LR . coil good ,fuel filters good , coil good . I’m assuming u have a pct34 carb . Remove the top of the float bowl . The part you removed has a pin that sets on the float that controls the gas height . Work it up and down a 100 times put it back on the float bowl as you are tighting it tap the top with a screw…[Read more]

My research on the London Roadster pretty much has turn up nothing . It was built on Michigan Ave in Inkster Mich I do have the exact address someplace if you want it let me know . I have contacted all of the historical groups that I have found in the area including the Ford Museum. I have filled out forms in several places .Nothing ! Royal is…[Read more]

Welcome I also have a London Roadster

I would give you 10 cents

That’s exactly what I was thinking . I thought I would check with you guys before I started something that wasn’t necessary .

In line fuse looked good . I replaced it anyway. If I remove wire from sending unit and test it with my test light should there always be power there when car is running
