I had a girl friend like that one time. Only I called her a 25 MPH date. She looked really good when I would cruise past my friends doing 25.

The truck actually boiled and steamed. I started with the water about two inches below the neck, or just above the fins. I had been driving about 10 minutes at 35 MPH in 85 degree weather. Truck otherwise running well. As far as the amount of actual anti-freeze that was in the mix, I am not...

As newbie I need some help. Took the truck on a ride last night and over heated. Where should I start? Water looks good and clear when drained. I did notice that the Moto-meter may not have been seated properly on the top of the radiator. Could this be part of the problem? Anything else I...

I love mine. It made timing easy for a newbie. MY father-in-law came over to "show me how to do it" and got everything screwed up. The truck would barely start. He finally gave in and let me try "that new stuff" and 10 minutes later we were driving.

Sorry for my ignorance, as I am a newbie. Why would you need / want to take it out?

I must have done something right. Just took it for a test drive and nothing is leaking. Wierdest thing is the odomoter is now working also. I must have jarred something while putting the instrument panel back. I wonder how long that will last.

I got a genuine ford kit from Snyders. Got the brass ring also, and there was two in place already when I pulled it out. I found a video on youtube that showed a guy changing one on a 29. He just stuck the black gasket on the tank and started tightening the unit back in place. I am still not...

This morning I got all my stuff together to put a new float on my gas guage. Got the old one out with no problems. Went to put it back in with new gaskets, and now I am confused. Where the guage assembly actually contacts the gas tank there looks like there should be a gasket. In my new kit...

Clem. 85 is 85% ethanol 15% real gasoline. Usually cheaper here in the mid-west than pure gasoline, but gets worse mileage and power. In the end it usually works out as a wash for overall savings in newer cars.

Thank you guys for all the help.

I am new to the Model A world and need help timing and fine tuning my truck. It drives but not as well at speed as it should. The local A club meets on Monday nights, and that is a night I can never go because of family. Any help in the area would be appreciated.

One down side is trying to keep the spokes clean. I spend a lot more time cleaning wheels than anything else. But with them up closer to eye level you have to do a better job on the sidemount spokes than those on the drive wheels.

I would like to change mine but can't yet. Yellow is just to fancy for me.

What site where you using for the pricing?

Does any one have experience with a vendor for license plate restoration? One plate in good condition. What should I expect to pay? Thanks for any assistance.
