Back in the 'old days' I kept a bunch of random tech crap, links, etc in this is the tech archive. Now I keep just the more personally useful crap here.

1939-1948 Ford brake adjustment (Hot Rods)
Did you that the shoes on Lockheed brakes, which are the early Ford ones, is the reverse of Bendix brakes? Long in the front, short in the rear of each backing plate. The larger bore of the staggered wheel cylinder and larger shoe go to the front.
CA DMV code for avoiding registration fees on old cars:
Vehicle code section 4604 (d) (3) exempts vehicles described in VC 5004 from the Planned Non-operation program. VC 5004 describes vehicles of historic value
("at least 25 years old and of historic interest").
It does not say that the car has to be registered under 5004, just has to meet the description.

Instructions and Manuals for Parts that were difficult for me to find on the web so I'm storing them here for ease of access. Maybe they'll be of use to others, too!
