Does anyone know how to reach Phil Andrews ? Since he moved out of Calif from Ojai ..... I need to contact him about an engine he rebuilt for me. Dave Bockman

Thanks for your comments. I guess there were several different types of water pumps made for the Model A and some seemed to be well made with technology not available to Henry. The original pump will still work just as well if it is maintained .... just like me ..... or most things on the...

While restoring a few water pumps, I found the two aftermarket pumps for a Model A. Does anyone know the history of these pumps ?? I have used them and they work great. No leaks at all.

Sorry I was not clear in my post Tom, but the October 26 date is the day ALL the Restorers were delivered to the USPS and is the date on MAFCA's receipt from USPS for our postage cost. I hope this helps as a clarification, but I know it does not help in any way with the delay many have had with...

Looks like several people still have not received their November/December 2015 MAFCA Restorer. Sorry to hear that but the problem of it being late seems to rest with the USPS. I doubled checked to see if it was our problem at MAFCA .... but confirmed that all Restorers were mailed out October...

I know I need a new steering box and heard that the 57 Ford box is the best way to go. Who is now making this as a "ready to install" steering box ?????????

Thank you Mark and Steve for your kind words. I have only been on the MAFCA Board less than one year but I quickly came to respect her opinions and quick incites to any item coming to the Board. She was highly respected by everyone on the Board and her passing is a not only a significant loss...

I have one that leaked water between the sleeve and the block. Scraped it !!

Thanks. I will check with him.

A friend of mine needs to have his '28 Sport Coupe moved from Visalia CA to Williams OR which is about 583 miles. Any suggestions for a Transportation company ?

Thanks Jim. I hope our CCRG Jamboree will bring attention to the fun we have with these cars and encourage more young people to have an interest in the Model A's.

I also talked with Terry and he will be conducting a seminar for our Central California Regional Group in April. I already have over 140 registrations with limited spaces. One tour to the Giant Redwood trees is already full with 80 cars. Too much snow could be a problem on this tour.

I will be in J 109 and J 107 on the corner with lots of Model A parts. Many new parts still in the box from an estate purchase. Let me know what you are looking for and I will make sure I bring one or more. Dave Bockman

I just purchased the Sport Coupe in the pic for $8500. It looks and runs great and has a "B" engine and new tires and new interior.
