Today at the new braunfels, tx swap meet I found a carburetor to appeared to fog a model a. It was weird looking and different than anything I have seen. It was lightweight with two sight glasses on either side of the bowl and a screen external filter. The car had " air-friction" a tamped on it...

the is the only pic I have uploaded of it at the moment. This is a pic of me and my wife driving it down I 35 in Austin, Tx a few weeks ago. The truck is ugly and rusty but it is the look I was going for at the time.

Nobody can help me with a value from my description?

I would like to get opinions from some of you guys on here about the value of my model a. I am 22 years old with a lot of buying and selling experience in this type of stuff but may not have as much as a lot of you. I am pricing my pickup because I am thinking of selling it. Here is the best...

I may be one of the youngest just turning 22

what are all of the places I should check out? I chaged the base gasket with a new one and snugged the two bolts down pretty tight.

I have been having troubles with the Zenith carb on my 31 Model A and I ended up getting a Tillotson carb from a friend today. I got it on and now I have a crazy whistle noise coming from somewhere I can't fine and also the carb is getting so cold when running it has condensation dripping off of...

I am going to the same carshow next wekk you are talking about. I plan on driving mine the little over 200 mile round trip. Mine is nowhere near as nice as yours. All stock banger motor and ****** with only new water pump, coil, wiring, distributor, and tires. I think I should make it but I will...

Whether you are bashing me, or trying to help me. I still would like to say thank you to all of the guys who did take their time to try helping me out. I really do appreciate it. I am sorry if my tastes or knowledge are any different then some of you guys'. I Just turned 22 years old so I am...

The rust sedimant is to a minimum now in the tank. I did not get to mess with the carb anymore today. I been busy redoing the floor in it instead. tomorrow I will take it off and check it out again.

I have the motor running. I disassembled the carb and cleaned every piece. I found that it had a bad float along with needle and seat. I went to my buddy's shop and some out of a carb he had. I got it running and driving good for a while but now it is giving me problems again. I think the float...

Ok, Here is where I stand now. I have gotten the Model A running by wiring the coil directly to the points and the coil directly to the post on the starter. I had it put in correct timing and charged the battery for about an hour and it fires up and runs. BUT, Now I have a new problem. I can get...

the car is still not running. Yes, I am looking for speed parts. No, I do not care what any of you personally think of me. So no I am not embarrassed. If I had too much pride I don't think I could post on here saying I didn't know how to fix it. I thought I had answered the question previously...

I was looking in the Snyder's catolog and saw all the different things that I could buy for my A engine. The list of things I would really like to add to my STOCK engine is the finned aluminum high compression head, wither the 2 or 3 finned aluminum downdraft carb intake with carbs., The finned...

I have replaced the points, condensor, plate, wires from every point, coil, and the wire from the coil to the distributor. I have chacked all of the parts suchs as the dist. cap, wires, coil, and switch with a test light and all check out. The points are set at 0.20 and I just can not get any...
