    Tomorrow's a big day in my life

    I purchased a 4 post BendPak lift a little over a year ago. Great to drive the car up on and get to the grease fittings and any other job that requires you to lay on the floor. Hope you got the drip trays. I use mine also to double the size of my garage. One call always is on the lift and...

    It's Time A Owners Apologize

    Doesn't help when your coupe is black. Just adds to the above about the Model T, "You can get it in any color as long as it is black". Feel like I need a license plate that says "Not A T!"

    Water Hoses

    Within the past week I bought new hoses with the red stripe from Bratton's (Part # 12060) - I had to replace my upper hose since it was worn out and starting to leak near the upper water outlet. Mine were snug, to the point where I had to spin it on the upper water outlet just to be sure I did...

    Removing a Door Handle Pin - Model A

    Atlasboy - I had to make a jig out of a 1 x 4 where the opening was wide enough to go over the door handle but still touch the Escutcheon. It had to be deep enough to be able to push the Escutcheon down but not bottom out on the door handle. I am at work now but when I get home this evening, I...

    1931 Gas tank install

    I just installed my late 30 tank in my coupe last weekend. Used some clear RTV to hold the anti-squeek welt to the cowl and firewall. That way it does not move when installing the tank. I too cut slits (about 1 inch apart) where the curve begins on the tank at the cowl. Used some strips of...

    2 Tooth Steering Upper Bushing Installation Question (Late 30)

    Keith - not sure what you are suggesting as there is no bolt that holds the upper steering bushing in place on my column. This bushing is located right under the steering wheel. I've attached a picture of the bushing in question.

    2 Tooth Steering Upper Bushing Installation Question (Late 30)

    I am having trouble installing a new 2 tooth upper steering bushing on my late 30 Coupe. The steering column has the "V" shaped lug for the bushing to lock in place. The repo steering bushing only has a dowel pin to hold it in place. I am struggling with the fit of the bushing. It appears...

    Front axle spindle angle template

    I am wanting to check to ensure that my front axle is straight. I have watched the Diablo A's rebuilding DVD and in it they discuss maching rods to place in the spindle and radius arm mounts on the axle. I don't have a lath or other device to machine these rods - are there any other...

    How much Marvel Mystery Oil per tank?

    Any comments on adding MMO to ethanol-free gas? I'll add 4 oz to 10 gal as mentioned here. Add it both to ethanol free or regular gas.

    manifold quality

    Check out the intake and exhaust manifolds the Steve over at Beth's offers. Parts A-9449 and A-9430. They specifically state they are IS A made and machined to match perfectly. Bought a set this spring for my rebuilt motor. Glad I did. They are working greasy with 1300 miles on the rebuilt...
