Anyone know what model A would have had the door handle in the center of the door? Seen a lot of cars over the years and they are always up towards the front of the door. Never seen one directly below the door handle before. Looking at buying the car with said doors but can't figure out what...

No longer in need. Found one locally over the weekend. Thanks to everyone that responded. Chris

Looking for a good original Model B intake manifold.

I was there. It was awesome. Especially 2nd street!

had a similar issue with my car. Stalled every time I slowed down to turn a corner. Then was hard to restart. Turned out to be an aftermarket jet that was flowing way to much fuel. Compared the "new" replacement jets in my carb to some old originals and found one of the "new" ones had a hole...

I will take it if rooster 31 doesn't. PM on the way.

Putting an origional rad back into my A is the best upgrade I have made. Solved all my cooling problems. Of course I was lucky enough to find one that needed only a minor tube leak soldered up;) Plus the rad is such a visually obvious part of the car, it drove me nuts to have a reproduction in...

experienced the exact same problem a couple weeks ago. Car didn't idle well and was prone to stalling on a decel. removed the new idle jet I put in last year and compared to the old one I took out and the hole was half the size. Now that the old jet is back in it idles like a dream and no...

the dist, cam drive, and oil pump were all rebuilt. As I recall they all fit together pretty nice. Not overly stiff. The spring and plunger on the timing cover are both new as well. For clarity when I said "chain case" what I meant was the valve camber. Not sure why I was thinking "chain...

Actually I only hear it when I am standing next to the engine with the hood open. Dont really notice so much when driving the car.

Don't know the exact numbers. I asked Hart Machine to check the clearance and bush the cam bearings if needed. There feedback was that it was in spec. They did the block prep and reground the cam. I checked virtually every other bit of there machine work and it was all spot on. But I guess you...

No, can it get stuck? It is a new spring and plunger. Any way to check it without pulling the timing cover?

Have an engine noise I am trying to track down. Light tapping noise at idle which seems the loudest in the chain case when I listen with a stethoscope. Thought it was valve noise so I relashed with no change. Last night I figured out I had 0.012 inch of end play in the dist. Pulled it and added...

sent you a PM

thanks for the feedback. When I bought my car the carb, starter, gen, dist, were all painted the same dull black. Didn't think that was right, but wasn't sure where to go with it. That powerhouse looks good. Just curious, what brand spray can did you use? Chris
