focuzzn..... ..the "Funk" was a DEALER installed option which used the Ford INDUSTRIAL 6-cylinder flathead 226 cu/in engine. You will find NO FUNK PARTS at your local Ford tractor store, but you will find all yer normal consumable parts like oil filters and sparkies at yer local automobile parts store for a 1950 6-cylinder Ford pick'em-up. or Ford Automobile dealer. I use 20-50wt oil in all my vehicles, which is 20wt oil until it gitts hot and becomes effectively 50wt oil. Modern oil is SO MUCH BETTER than 1950 oil. 1950 oil was also DETERGENT just like modern oil is. Iff'n yer engine turns into an oil-burner, use detergent 40wt. Probably 5-qts, check yer dipstick. Simple, eh? Use AutoLite AL-437 sparkies gapped 0.025. They seem to work better with modern no-lead gasoline. And NO, you don't need enny lead additives, the engine came from the factory with hardended valve seats and besides there ain't NO LEAD in lead additives ennyways, EPA ya know. And use copper-core sparkie wires instead of modern anti-static carboncore sparkie wire. Iff'n yer sparkie wires aren't limp like a wet-noodle, you'll have sparkies dancin' on the OUTSIDE of the insulation. When I replaced my sparkies, I bought a copper-core "hot-rod" sparkie kit for a Pontiac V-8 because it had "right-angle" sparkie boots, cut the wire lengths to fit. Simple, eh? You can find out all yer tune-up specs at yer local library "Motors Manual" section..... ...welcome to the N-World, Dell
