Re: Simmons Super Power high compression head Priced to sell. Great head.

Selling this very nice Simmons Super Power high compression head for Model A. I believe this is 6:1 compression ratio. Its in great condition. Period speed parts are getting harder to find today and having this under the hood will certainly set you apart from everyone else at a show and when...

This is a very nice 1931 180A Deluxe Phaeton. It was owned by the same gentleman for over 30 years. When I acquired the car I had the fuel system cleaned and the carburetor rebuilt. The car was restored about 20 years ago, but it has held up very nicely. It runs well and is ready for driving or...

I have a police head for my car (has a B cast in the top) and I measured the flatness on the bottom of the head with a straight edge and it is 5 thousands of an inch off in the center. Is this too much or should this be ok?

Well, I just tried running the hot wire into the distributor again and I get no spark!!! I dont see what is wrong. I also took the plate off of the distributor and everything looks fine inside, the wire connecting the two plates is fine and the condenser is fine...

Where do I look to find what model it is? I will post pictures in a moment

I am looking for a new cap for my Mallory dual point distributor for my A. Does anyone know where I might find one? I have most of the original, it was broken before I got it and I would like to try this thing out on my car.

Thanks everyone for the great advise. I will try cleaning the hole first with some sand paper and if that doesn't work I think I will just file the pin until it fits. The pin on the new distributor is clearly larger than the pin on the old one (visibly larger without measuring).

I purchased a brand new distributor for my car and the pin in the bottom of the distributor that fits into the top of the head is too large in diameter to fit into the hole in the head. So, my question here is should I take the time to file the pin down or should I just drill the hole larger in...
