if someone was going to order stock of the rack 16" black steel rim to fit a 1930 Model A what would the bolt pattern measurements be and off-set if that apply's. What size tires are guys running to get close to stock diam. Also can we run a low cost radial or should we use bias plys ?

Mitch, others, how much lower hose are you slipping in the upper hose ? are you using a clamp on the stat ? I was running a 160 stat, I had put a second clamp on the stat body at the bottom of the hose. When I removed upper hose to move radiator to remove water pump I found the stat had moved to...

I hate to run with the windshield closed flat. The first time I ever drove a PU that I was interested in buying I was driving down a narrow street with parked cars on both sides. It was a late afternoon, as I went by each car the reflection made the parked cars look like they were coming at me...

I am not sure if this has been posted in the past, but anyway its pretty interesting. It just goes to show you can sell a car with a hole or two in it. :eek: http://money.cnn.com/2010/01/24/autos/dillinger_car_auction/

I am getting the A ready for the winter months and about to change the antifreeze. I usually only run a gallon of antifreeze and the rest Distilled water. The car stays in a insulated garage with heat when it really gets cold.I have a two year old Brassworks 10 fin heavy duty Radiator. Should I...

Tackle51 if you mean your trying to move the steering full left and full right while holding onto the tires, I think the front end is designed not the move easily so that when a pot hole or bad road in general is driven on the wheel is not jerked out of the drivers hand. When the front end...

Hey, I found the 195/80 16R at Walmart web site. You can just see it on the Keley Hayes. Think of the difference in the rain. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Bridgestone-Ecopia-EP02-Tire-195-80R16/17790680

I would also like to see a picture or two of the prius sized tires on a Model A. If I were buying a new modern set cheap wheels for a Model A what would the size be for a 16" rim. I have never figured out the bolt measurement part.

How do you tell if you need the rubber ball or the fender washer in there ? If every thing is taken apart I assume there's no tension on anything is there ? Mine is always very oily.

Another option here is Water Wetter by RED LINE its not an antifreeze but a rust inhibitor and it also lubricates. One bottle is plenty for a 2 1/2 -3 gallon cooling system. Its a little pricey at 9-10 dollars and is available at most auto parts places maybe even Walmart. Check out the DEMO...

My club members have been telling me to get rid of my Steel 2 blade fan, and while I am changing the blade and have the pump off rebuild mine or replace with a complete leakless one. Mt question is what do I have now ? I removed the front a rear grease fittings to find they are just plugs...

Hey, I like that answer !

I replaced both steering arms and the pittman arm, replaced with the teflon bushings,new springs and end caps, and rubber dust boots. I pre- lubed the balls with regular basic grease for ball joints. After all was back together I used the gun on all grease fittings. So whats going to happen now...

I did try to search this before asking. Anyway when did Henry or Edsel make the change to 12 volt electrical systems and did they also change to Neg. ground at the same time ? Also were generators only for 6 volt. Thanks for your answers.

I had seen a piece on My Classic Cars a few days ago with Jay Leno about a low cost, better for the environment type of process, maybe not a bumper thing but could be used for other parts maybe. Hey I can paint like this, lots of runs ! Check out the video...
