I posted a request on this forum asking if anyone had the clips I was looking for and it was promptly deleted as "inappropriate". Darned if I know why??? I needed some parts I could not find elsewhere, so thought I would try a forum on this web site. If that is inappropriate, then what is...

There is something to say for both trannys. The Mitchell allows you more gear ratios by splitting gears between overdrive and direct. However, I am not comfortable with all that weight hanging off the driveline tube. I chose the T5 for my 31 Model A Ford because it allows an open drive shaft...

I have a 1931 Mod A coupe. What color should the engine be painted? Most I have seen are green, but what specific shade I do not know. What color and shade is correct. please advise. - Denver 9

I have a Chevy T5 transmission in my model A and love it. Problem is I need to replace the transmission. I have been told that the 93 and newr transmissions had an integral bell housing (part of the transmission case) is that really true? I need to be able to remove the stock bell housing from...

No, you use an adapter plate between the stock model A bell housing and the T5 transmission. Unfortunately Mr. Lewis, the gentleman that offered the kit, seems to be no longer be with us? There are some specially machined parts envolved, so good luck in finding a successor to Mr. Lewis. Sent...

Dollar Bill: Yes, it has an electric fuel pump but I added a pressure regulator set at 2 PSI. See my post above

I put fresh fuel in, gapped the plugs at .035, and added a pressure regulator in the fuel line between the electric pump and the carb. It starts quick runs smooth but still tends to die when I stop at a signal. I suspect the needle and seat is gummed up and it just floods out when making a quick...

Hi all, I have been away from this site for awhile, but here is what I did. I found a switch for a Golf cart. It sticks out in front a bit further than the stock switch but is shallow enough to fit behind the panel and has the accessory position. Works well. Thanks to allof ytou for your help...

I am running a high compression head (Snyder's 6.5:1) on my 31 Model A coupe. I am also running it with a Weber 2BBL carburetor and electronic ignition. (First Street Ignition, Tulsa, OK). Until recently it has purred like a kitten (Ran nice) with this set up, Then I put the car in the shop for...

I have had suggestions such as puttin a restrictor in the upper radiator hose to keep the water in the block longer. I got instructions with my leakless water pump to trim off part of the water pump impeller so it doesn't pump the water quite as fast. Have tried neither method. It seems to me...

If i run anything besides straight water in my radiator, it foams over under the slightest load and increased rpm.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly are "Hydrocarbons" and how do I check for them and remove them from the cooling system?

I posted these questions under the existing thread "Water flow" a couple of days ago but that probably wasn't the right place to post it as I got no results. Please pardon the redundancy but I am starting this new thread in the hopes of getting better results. I have a thermostat in my 31 coupe...

I have a thermostat in my 31 coupe and have no cooling issues UNLESS I run anything else but plain water. In an attempt to clean the rust out I added a can of radiator flush and followed the instructions. That resulted in immediate foaming and overflow at the radiator cap. I still ran the...

Looking for a good assembly view showing proper assembly order of pivot bolt, spacers etc for the rumble seat hinges to support brackets. Thank you for any help you may provide.
