Ed, it looks like you pulled the air filter off her too, I did the same thing with Sister and she seems to run way better, even sounds better....what are your thoughts since pulling it off?

I hadn't drove Sarah but once when I test drove her before removing the filter, so I can't really comment on performance. What really made me remove the Maze filter was the fear of burning alive, after I'm dead and gone, it won't matter then. :D
 
Nice looking motor area Ed. Glad to see you replaced the old iron gas filter. I to did this and it sure gives me a better idea if stuff in coming out of the gas tank to the carb. I know replacing the iron filter is a no-no but mine is a driver and I want it to run!
 
Ahoy! Ed looks great! My Model A came without an air filter... That's a personal choice of each owner depending upon the roads and dirt they drive on as well as some prefer not having paper and gasoline (If you flood your car) next to a 450F exhaust pipe.. Things to think about either way..
 
Can't figure out what the line is coming out the firewall and going back under the body. It looks like it may be real close to the motor mount, if not wearing against it.

Yes, speedo cable. The cable housing does rest against the motor mount but it's not forced up against it.

there should be a grommett in the hole at the firewall plus a support clip on the frame rail along with another clip mounted inside the firewall behind the gas tank

Got the grommet but no bracket on the frame. I'll check for the clip when it get daylight. I'll put the bracket on my next order.

Thanks Mitch.

Page 83, Les Pearson book tells about the routing. I do have the clip attached to the inside firewall. I will have a closer look later today. Got chores.
