I love this graphic. I can never remember slide three when I need to; going up hills. Printed it and now it's in my door pouch. Thanks!

Thanks for the ideas all. Checked the condenser with multimeter - .220 uF =acceptable. Inspected and ran paper through points - flat, clean, a little oily Distributor shaft and cam no wobble, but new rotors sure don't fit snug. I have a full set. OEM points were 018 so I opened them up 1/4...

It seems recently my beloved '31 seems to be running on 3 cylinders or something. It really runs rough from the time I pull out of the garage. No matter what gear I'm in or RPM it hesitates every revolution jerking and hunting down the road. Can't get up steep hills easily. I've replaced the...

Well after checking all the voltage where it should be, and looking for possible short locations, I thought I might disconnect and charge the battery overnight. It needed it. The engine turned over and I replaced the newly shrink sleeved horn wires and cover. Everything works fine. It could be...

Okay, well, I'll switch out to a Zenith. Even though I love the look of my brass Tilly on the green engine. All Hail Henry.

If you have an active local club, then go for it. They will be extremely friendly and helpful!

Good catch, I'll check that!

I read that at some point an assembly line ran out of Zeniths and installed Tillotson carburetors for a while. True? What year? Do the judging standards say they are allowed for some chassis?

I have a 31 that runs great. I installed a new horn. Now the car won't start. Key off, 6 volts to both sides of the starter fuse. Turn the key on, voltage there gone; won't start. What did I fry? Fuse is fine. When key is turned off, voltage reappears but horn won't sound. Disconnected the...

I'm 6'2" 235. When shopping for my A, I test drove a roadster and a cabriolet. THEY WERE DIFFERENT! Impossible to squeeze my size 13 foot in the door of the roadster and twist it around the clutch pedal. The cabriolet is easier. Each style is different.

It's metamerism - an object will appear as different colors when viewed at different angles or under different illumination angles from the same light source.

So did you figure out the original scraping noise? Inquiring minds...

I have a 31 Cabriolet and drive most the time with the top off and windows down. I get a constant window rattling noise in both doors. I haven't taken the door panels off yet, but wonder what parts I need to buy before the tear down. I imagine there are window channels available from the A parts...

Thanks to all. Reminds me of the saying in construction; "Good enough for who it's for."

Perfect, Thanks!
