I'm thinking from his handle that Barrhavencobra may well live in Barrhaven, Ontario, a suburb of Ottawa. Yes?

Jim, Nice looking car. It looks like a Fordor and one that is in very nice condition. I am sure that you will enjoy driving it. I see the car has Ontario plates. Are you from Canada?

barrhavencobra .... Couldn't tell from your photo, is that a business or sedan coupe ? If it's a maroon sedan coupe I've got your twin here.

Congradulations, You are the owner of model year that is, in my opinion, Henry's finest; in styling, performance, and desirability. I own a '48 coupe and it is the favorite of all my cars.Enjoy.

barrhavencobra, Welcome to the Forum. To get your car running, you will need good spark. I suggest that you send your distributor and coil to Skip Haney in FL to have the distributor serviced and the coil rebuilt. The Ford distributor has dual points, where one set makes the circuit and the other breaks the circuit. The ignition timing is set by when the "break" set of points opens. This timing is done best on a distributor machine where the advance curve, cam wear and vacuum brake can also be check out. Most old coils tend to break down under the heat generated during use. Having your coil rebuilt will give you many years of use. Here is a link to Skip's website http://www.fordcollector.com/water_pumps.htm If you need any other service tips,be sure to post your questions here. I am sure that you will get good answers as there are many helpful people answering questions on this forum.

Welcome from a fellow '47 Super Deluxe Owner (sedan coupe). I also recommend the books mentioned here including the Early Ford V8 book. You'll find many knowledgeable Forum posters here. They've been a great help to myself and many others.
