Listening to see which general area it's coming from from seems like sound advice. One afternoon my car sounded like it was trying to throw a rod, or several. Could not pinpoint it with a stethoscope. Long story short the nut holding the cam gear had come loose. Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Most welding shops sell cold galvenizing coating in a spray can. Never tried it on brass though. Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Sounds like either a dust collector or a backfire arrester, I've seen one, but don't recall what it was exactly. If it's not hurting anything might as well run it. I have nightmares about a ball of flaming gas somehow getting as far back as the floorboards. Highly unlikely, but possible in my...

Interesting, does it have louvers punched in one side? Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Personally I like running an Air Maze, if that is in fact what you have, I'd keep it. I didn't notice any difference on mine with or without, again that's my personal opinion. I generally run around between 5500 and 7500 foot elevation, no discernable difference. My father ran one on his...

I used grease on mine, the gaskets, threads, glass edges and slip rings, much easier to get it tight with less resistance. Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

When I must use it I like black pepper. Depending on your leak a couple spoonfuls should do it. When you fix the leak later it washes right out, it's definitely my go to for anything with a heater core. Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Hahaha! That's great. My favorite Red Green quote is "The fastest way to irritate a stranger is to drive the speed limit." Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Sarcasm aside...... Is this problem a recent development? Or has it always been this way? First, is it a low power issue, or something keeping the car from coasting freely? ( See post #2) I would start diagnosing by cleaning the fuel screen, and verifying good fuel flow at the carb. Next, I...

Through much research, I can attest that the Model A's performance is severely lacking when operated as a raft, boat, or submarine. I humbly suggest enjoying ones Model A on dry land. As for traffic, you aren't alone. Drivers are paying less attention than ever to what is in front of them...

The last one of those files I purchased was not a good purchase, wore out with minimal use, back to using a hand me down from grandpa. However, an emery board nail file works very well, and if you don't have a female companion complete with her hand bag full of accessories along, you can...

Personally, I'm curious to know what type of failure it was. Did it get soft and fall off? Or break into a thousand tiny pieces now hopelessly lost in the fuel tank? Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk

Again, not dumb. It's a learning experience, just like anything else. Soon you will probably learn all kinds of things that look simple in hindsight. On your fancy new battery disconnect, if it's the post type with the thumb wheel, those get gunked up and need cleaned occasionally, just a...

Might familiarize yourself with the headlight switch also, lights could have been left on in the daylight and not noticed, especially if kids ( or curious adults) have been playing in the car. If I remember correctly, the handle straight down is off. Just throwing it out there, personally, I...

Because growing up, most of the guys I admired and respected had Model A's. Monkey see, monkey do...... Sent from my E6810 using Tapatalk
