Does anybody know where I can find part #BB-2472, Brake Crosshaft Retraction Spring for a 1934 Ford BB 1 ton truck? Any place but Ecklers? Thank you Mark in Fairbanks Alaska

I have a 1934 Ford BB Truck that I am rebuilding. It has the heavy duty 4 speed transmission and 4 banger B motor. My question is: Will the brake/clutch bushing from regular Model B pickup work on the BB Truck? Thank you for any info. Mark Cosson Ester Alaska

I will double check the connection.

Would this explain why it isn't running smoothly and slowly dying to where it quits altogether???

I shaved off a small area on the inside firewall to properly ground the FS Ignitions wiring. Of course the positive ground from the battery is grounded to the frame. Any advice on further grounding?

Greetings all. I just installed a FS Ignitions system in my 30 Coupe. Finally got it running and when I idled up the engine and turned on all the headlights, every bulb blew. Any ideas as to where I messed up, or what is wrong?

The ignition system was brand new, properly installed. The car ran like a top only once. The next day I went to start it and it wouldn't even fire. I tried everything I could but still nothing. So I got frustrated and removed the system and shipped it back to FS Ignition in Oklahoma and told...

Why would a manufacturer build a modern ignition system that will fry if you leave the key in the on position for 30 seconds or more? Are we not in the 21st century where solid state circuitry has eliminated this problem???

Timed it by ear. Standard head. Initially set the timing by removing the timing pin, inserting it in reverse till I felt the detent while turning the engine by the crank. Then making sure the rotor was on #1 cylinder. Why would it run so very well one day and not even fire the next day without...

Guys, I've a 1930 Coupe that I installed a new FS Ignition system in. After getting pricy spark plug wires, the engine fired up after a few tries and ran like a top! I adjusted the timing while it was running and it sounded great! So I shut her down and the next day I went to start her and she...

What causes extreme front end wobble when the brakes are applied? Mark in Fairbanks Alaska

So, I have 5 Marvel carburetors in my collection of Model A stuff. I am wondering if anybody knows where I can send them out to be rebuilt? Well, two of them anyway. Or does anyone know where I can get rebuild kit(s)? Mark in Fairbanks Alaska

Thanks Bob!!!

I live in Fairbanks Alaska. It gets so cold here in the winter that even in modern vehicles have difficulty moving. My question is: Is it absolutely necessary to use 600w oil in my transmission and rear end on my Model A? In the cold here, 600w turns to solid tar and your vehicle will not move...

I just had this happen to me and my 1930 Coupe. The fellas on here were quite helpful with gas or electric problems. A friend came over and we determined it was electrical. It was the modern distributor and I replaced the condenser and I SIMPLY PLACED ELECTRICIANS tape over the pieces that came...
