Yes, it is a 29

Does anyone know of a source for an illustration showing the proper installation of door seals on a closed cab vehicle. My Tudor seems be be lacking seals and channels, and I can't seem to find any photo or illustration showing what I (apparently) am missing. It is my understanding that each...

8X20 enclosed works for me (29 P/U or 29 Tudor); I can squeeze in and out just fine. You probably don't need the extra length, but it my case, that's where I keep my wife on long trips. :D Before purchasing, be sure to check the width of the door opening as they can vary a great deal by...

Sorry for the (perhaps) misleading title. My question is: Where were the jack, jack handle, tools, etc stored in a 29 Tudor when the car was not equipped with a trunk? :confused:

The hub caps on a recently purchased Tudor seems to be lacking as to the way they are secured to the wheels. It seems someone has simply bent the ears on the hub cap (spread them open) and then added a little silicon caulk on the inside to stop the rattles. I see that one of the parts supply...

For the record, what are the sources for the rebuilt boxes?

Tom, I have a 2 tooth box. I'll look at what you suggest, but I guess if worse comes to worse, I'll have to sacrifice a fully opening throttle for a proper idle speed. Thanks

I was not happy with the top speed of a recently purchased Tudor, so I started going over the engine hoping to find something obvious. In doing so I discovered that the throttle linkage (between the carb and the firewall) was bent to the point that the carburetor was only opening about 3/4 of...

Also, check for a vacuum leak.

Jack for 29 Tudor wanted. Working condition. Send PM please.

Buy one that's already done, though not necessarily 100% original. A sharp driver. Its cheaper, and you will still find plenty to do on it. Expect to pay $10-16,000, if you shop smart.

If you have a grease fitting on the box, how do you fill same without blowing seals? I guess I should pull the fitting and try to see what's in the box now; 600w oil or grease.

I'm going through the same issue with my 29 P/U. Did you blow any water out of the tail pipe when you started up? That's a sure sign of water getting into a cylinder. Pressure from a running motor can prevent water from getting into the cylinder. Also, any water that does get in will...

I have been doing some front-end work on a 29 Tudoor I recently purchased, and in the course of doing, I realized that the fill plug on my 2 Tooth assembly has been replaced with a grease fitting. What's up with that? Is this commonly done, or did someone take a shortcut because the assembly...

Just purchased two Model A engines at a local auction. One is a short block; the other is complete including water pump, distributor, carb, gen, starter, bell housing, clutch and trans. Total price: $300 Ye-ha!
