We've set up & made some changes this year to save some money & to help things run better. At this time I hope everyone has paid their dues for this year, if not please do so soon. Due to some funding loss this year we're asking those with an email address to receive the newsletter by email on your computer to save money with the cost of mailing the newsletter, let us know if you can. Contact Lloyd to be set up for email delivery. We've made changes to our auctions this year by dropping the spring auction & going with just the fall one in October. We've also made some changes with the way we run it, all the items for auction will be laid out for viewing so you know what you want to bid on & there will not be a disruption of the piece when it comes to the auctioneer, it will just be sold, this is to move the auction along to save time. Also we would like to try a west end meeting in June on a Saturday & I would like it to be indoors so if anyone knows of a spot let me know & also if you would come out to it to see how we run our meetings. Our club charity is The Children's Wish Foundation. So far over the years we have donated $5,352.25 & wish to continue to donate again. Due to the short coming of funds this year we are asking members to maybe donate some case cars or other gifts etc. & we are going to sell tickets for all the prizes in one draw with the money going to the Children's Wish, I know we all have that one piece sitting on the shelf that we really don't need any more so put it to a good cause & help us help the Kids. As always if you need help with your car call us, maybe we can help with a problem or just help it come together & if there is a good show you like let us know maybe we can come out as a club. We have had our first meeting & all is on track. I would like to thank Barry Moore for the presentation, it was a good one. Last thing on our fall tour a Motometer went missing at the Camden Garage, I'm sure that no one from our club would have taken it, but if you know of or seen anyone touching it please send a note to Don at Camden Garage 4210 Fly Rd, Camden, On. L0R 1G0... Let's get this cleared up or there may not be many more tours... Our loss.

page 3 Ford 1935 Over the years we have owned many Flat Head Fords including a 1932 Pickup, 1938 Pickup, 1940 Standard , 1948 Conv., 1950 Monarch coupe, 1954 Meteor 2 Dr, 1951 Mercury 4 Dr, so I thought it was time to purchase a 1935 flat head because I was born that year. So I kept watching Old Autos and in late Oct. this year I spoke to the owner of a 4 door sedan advertised in OA. The next day Mary and I were off to Niagara Falls to see the car. A very pleasant couple owned the 35 and he had done quite a bit of work to it including- new valves and lifters, water pumps, brakes, tires, carburetor, plus. We drove the 35 and it started and ran along very nicely, so you guessed it we bought the car. I made arrangements to have it flat bedded home to Midland so we could get it home before the snow flies. The 35 has one interesting set up under the hood as it has 4 water pumps, two in block along with the motor mounts and two in the head and of course one fan belt that drives all four. The man from whom we purchased the 35 suggested that the four water pumps were used by Ford in hot climates but he had no solid evidence to support this claim. I decided to phone the Tech Advisor for 1935 Fords at the National Early Ford Club. He is one Dan Driskell of Nashville, Tennessee and he was very pleasant and ready to answer my question. Now you have to know in advance that I was not well versed on a 1935 flat head or on what I was looking at under the hood of our 1935. So-- Dan got quite excited when I told him my reason for calling him as he had not seen such a set up as in our 35. After a lot of speculation I said I would e-mail him photos and let him see the actual set up. When I called him back he stated the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words!!however our pictures were worth 10 thousand words. What the photos revealed was a 1937 block with likely 1935 heads so the mystery was solved. I asked Dan if the had ever built a flat head with four water pumps that would have been available to the public. Dan said that to the best of his knowledge Ford had never built such a flat head. I thanked Dan for all his knowledge and set off to maybe find out who had assembled our engine. I had, by the way, been assured by the seller that the 35 ran very well on warm days as the former owner and his wife had some fairly long successful runs in the 35 Ford as it was set up. Now, you all are aware of the Used Vehicle Information Package that we get here in Ontario when we purchase a used vehicle and the list of former owners. First on the list were the people from whom we bought the car and next was Romance Products Ltd. of Niagara on the Lake. Some of you will be aware of Trisha Romance’s art work which I am told is one of the largest in the country. They sell paintings, prints, posters of idyllic country scenes and pleasant landscapes, etc. and our new 1935 Ford 4 Door Sedan is in a very pleasant presentation of the Prince of Wales Hotel in Niagara on the Lake. If you go on their Web Site and click on posters you will see the 35 beside the hotel. It does not make the 35 run any better but it is fun to see. The name also on the list with the same date as Patricia Romance is the Fawcett Motor Carriage (1981). So I called Fawcett to see what records were available but was told that all records of that date were no longer around. The next name on the list was a fellow I knew from years back as I had sold him a 48 Ford but he was unfortunately dead. He had owned the 35 in 1976. The list had one more name from 1973 and the man was from Barrie and I also knew him. A very pleasant fellow who was quite involved in the setting up the early Barrie Automotive Flea Market. He too was unfortunately dead and there the names of my list come to an end. I did however speak with his wife, she was very pleasant and gave me some leads but her husband had had quite a few cars and all the information was gone. She was, however, well aware of Trisha Romance Art as she had two pieces of their art work on her wall. I made many calls to people that may have had knowledge for me, one friend had a supply of old car club rosters which he checked out but no 1935 Black Deluxe Ford Four Doors . I did do one other follow up call to George “Skip” Haney of Punta Gorda, Florida as he had rebuilt the “head” water pumps for the couple we bought the car from. Some of you may know the name Skip Haney as he advertises in the V/8 Times. He was fun to talk with as it was snowing heavily here and he was warm in the sunshine in Florida. When asked about the four water pumps Skip said that to the best of his knowledge Ford had never put four water pumps on the flat head. Skip did say that he also had four water pumps on his 1937 Ford Pick Up. Wow, I said, how come? His laughing reply was I rebuild water pumps for a living—that’s how I advertise. – good response.!! As I sit writing this article on our 1935 Ford and looking out the window there is snow everywhere. The snow plow has come past and now the snow banks along the roadside are almost four feet high. The 35 sits snuggly in our shop and with just a low setting on thermostat the old gal is probably as comfortable as she has ever been. I still have to get bumper guards to finish the exterior and a set of headers to bolt on the flat head to get the exhaust gasses out more efficiently. Later on I’ll replace the carpet and the interior will all look pretty respectable. All that is left to do is sit tight till a warm spring day comes along and then Mary & I will go for a pleasant tour in our new 1935 Ford. Page 4

ARE WE GROSS POLLUTERS? Many people believe that old cars are gross polluters and energy hogs. This is definitely not the case according to John McMahon who recently wrote a letter to Auto Restorer magazine. He claims that he and a friend have tabulated the following figures from personal experience over fifty years. According to John, many of our older vehicles get surprisingly good gas mileage. While his figures don’t include the Ford flathead V/8 I think his point is well taken. The current perception that older vehicles are gross polluters is definitely wrong. The following are a few of his examples. He doesn’t say how he compiled this data but I suspect that he is spot on. All gas mileage figures are in miles per imperial gallon.

- 1940 Packard Super Eight (356 C.ID) 12 mpg overall 13 hwy - 1949 Chrysler (251 CID std.) 19 mpg overall 24 hwy - 1948 Nash 600 (173 CID, O/D) 26 mpg overall 36 hwy - 1959 Rebel V/8 (250 CID Auto) 22 mpg overall 26 hwy - 1960 Chrysler Windsor (383 CID - 4 bbl. auto. 19 mpg overall 25 hwy (80 mph) - 1962 Buick Invite (401 CID auto) 19 mpg overall 26 hwy (85 mph) - 1964 Buick Riviera (425 CID auto) 14 mpg overall 18 hwy - 1965 Chrysler Newport (383 CID 2 bbl. auto) 16 mpg overall 20 hwy - 1965 Mustang (289 CID Auto) 20 mpg overall 24 hwy - 1964 Buick Riviera (401 CID auto.) 16 mpg overall 18 hwy - 1965 Buick Riviera (425 CID 2 x 4 bbl. auto) 10 mpg overall 16 hwy - 1966 Mustang (289 CID auto) 22 mpg overall 25 hwy - 1966 Mustang (289 CID std.) 24 mpg overall 26 hwy - 1966 Mustang 6 (200 CID std.) 29 mpg overall 35 hwy - 1967 Barracuda (273 CID auto) 18 mpg overall 19 hwy - 1973 Buick Century (350 auto) 18 mpg overall 20 hwy

The above figures depend a great deal on how aggressively the vehicle is driven and on the gear ratios that are in play. John also got similar results when a few of his cars needed a California emissions test when he bought them. The 1965 Mustang 289 passed the smog requirements for new 1994 cars for all three pollutants (CO, hydrocarbons & NOX) The 1964 Dodge Polara 500 383 passed the smog requirements for new 1994 cars for two of the three pollutants (CO, & Hydrocarbons and was only about 15% over the standard NOX) Each car had about 100,000 miles (160,000 KM) no smog devises, engines never been rebuilt and with a fresh factory spec tune-up. Go figure! Submitted by Barry Moore P.S. Ford Flathead V/8 engines are clean engines and will surprise the emissions testing people. The reason I am told it is because the exhaust gases are unusually hot.

Paddy is at it again... Paddy went to trial for armed robbery. The jury foreman came out and announced to the judge, “Not guilty.” That’s grand shouts Paddy to the Judge. “Does it mean I can now spend the money?”

An American lawyer asked, “Paddy, why is it whenever you ask an Irishman a question, he answers back with a question?” “Who told you that?” Asked Paddy.

Page 6 Tech Tips - Brake Conversions While going through some old Cars & Parts magazines I came across a letter to the Editor regarding converting a ‘ 34 Plymouth to front disk brakes and I thought that it was very much in keeping with what some members are doing or thinking of doing with their early Ford V/8s. The letter was written by Bob Adler of Adler’s Antique Autos Stephentown, New York.

Concerning the disk brake conversion, it was disconcerting to see so much ink wasted on such a foolish endeavour as installing disc brakes on a ‘34 Plymouth. Did the stock wheels fit over the calipers? Did you do stopping distance comparisons before and after the swap? Do you spin out when stopping on a curve? If you habitually overheat drum brakes to fading, you need some driving lessons and/or linings with a better hot coefficient of friction. Check the friction code on the lining edge, and learn how to read them. Any restorer can easily purchase high friction brake linings to fit his original shoes and drums, and place these linings all around, maintaining the factory bias in front- to- back proportioning. If you want to increase deceleration rates, how about installing a slightly smaller bore master cylinder, which will increase available pressure at the cost of longer pedal travel. Comparative master cylinder charts are frequently in the back of brake component catalogues. One of the companies that sleeves brake cylinders could be helpful here for customizing the bore. Alternatively, slightly larger bore wheel cylinders would also give more pounds pressure on brake shoes. I have been recommending installation of period correct Hydro vac boosters for large trucks and disabled drivers. Disc brakes, in general are much less forgiving of prolonged storage as compared to drums. Drum brakes are not the culprit; driving past the safe limits of an antique vehicle are, - then expecting to compensate by stopping on a dime. Your discs won’t work because the back wheels may spin out. Young readers, learn about brake engineering before throwing away the OEM system. You have much more elegant options to safe and rapid deceleration than converting to discs. Bob Adler - Adler’s Antiques - Stephentown, New York

P.S. In addition to above - It is my understanding that it is no longer recommended that both disc and drum brakes be used on the same vehicle because the action of discs tends to be linear with foot pressure applied while drum brakes tend to be exponential. It may be best to stick with your OEM brakes or go to discs all around. - Barry Moore

- Emergency Repair In another letter to the editor of Cars and Parts, a long time hobbyist (S.C. Davenport) writes that a product that has saved his “bacon” is a sealant called Seal-All that comes in a yellow tube with red lettering. He went on to say — “One repair that I used Seal-All was a rock induced hole in the gas tank. With the gas pouring out and in the middle of nowhere, I took some Seal-All on a finger, stuffed it in the hole (1/4 inch Diameter) and it stopped the leak. I looked at it later and decided that I would see how long it lasted. Never had a problem as long as I owned the vehicle.” “There was also a crack in the thermostat gooseneck that radiator sealant didn’t help, but Seal-All applied to the inside of the clean part cured the ailment” This is one of the few products that will cure in gasoline but will not adhere to paper, cardboard and styrofoam. - Submitted by Barry Moore

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Gasoline is a hot topic today with people who collect older vehicles. I would like to add a couple of comments related to Barry Moore’s article “ May Contain Ethanol” It is my understanding based on conversations with small engine repair people that gasoline of any grade will deteriorate quickly. Premium gasoline will usually stay viable for a longer period than regular gasoline but if a vehicle is going to be stored for 60 days or more, a stabilizer is strongly recommended. With late model vehicles you should be careful to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. John Magill

WHATS THE FUNNIEST THING YOUR KIDS HAVE EVER SAID? When my daughter was 2+ years old, one day we went grocery shopping. We were in our typical daily post-work-daycare-pickup mad scramble to grab a few things for dinner and get home. I plunked her in the grocery cart seat and made our way down the aisles. At one point, I turned to her and said “Okay, so what do we need?” She shouted “You need your wine, Mom!” Several people within ear shot, myself included, laughed out loud.

My three year old son uses the elevator every day, counts backwards like this: “Four, three, two, lobby.”

Many years ago when my daughter then 3 years old and I were out running errands, she turned to me and said very seriously “Mama, I know you’re the best driver in the world, because you’re always yelling at all the other drivers.” Page 7 WANTED 1946-48 Ford/Mercury 59A builder engine.
