I had a 3:54 in a 29 fordor and loved it. I'm in NC (east)and had no problems with the hills here. The engine seemed happier also. 3:27 is too high for a worn engine.

I have them and have had zero problems with them. In my opinion they are a great product.

I use a modern temp gauge I got at a cheap parts store. Works great. You can take out the 12 volt bulb and install a 6 volt if you want. Saves alot a worry. I know "Henry" didn't put one in the car. If you burnt up the engine, he'd sell you a new one.

Very good tool. I wish I'd seen this earlier. I have small holes in the fabric where I nailed a panel. I'm hoping that someday they will shrink and go away. I even took a steame and went lightly around the interior. It did great on any fold marks. Smoothed them out.

I also have the Ken Davis shock set-up. I think it is great. Handles fantastic. I have plenty of movement in the suspension. The shocks are the ones he has in the kit.

I have heard that there is no rebuild parts for them. I tried cleaning one up. It didn't work for me.

I have received gallons of paint from Eastwood through UPS.

I was told by an old Model A friend that a road draft tube on a Model A meant it had too much blowby. He said to never buy a Model A with one of them on the engine.

I used a product that has aluminum on both sides and a rubber material in between the aluminum. I used it on the entire body and floor. It is not the bubble wrap sandwiched between aluminum foil. Bust the bubbles and you have nothing. My 29 Fordor is very quiet. The doors sound solid, and I...

A good friend of mine told me that very few Model A's are restored these days. Most are rebuilt. I know I rebuilt mine, not restored.

I have the pump that is sold as being for the weber carb. It comes in either 6 or 12 volts. The major venders have them. It doesn't need a regulator.

I just added a car to my Grundy policy. I had no problem once I got to the right site. If you go to Grundy Antique Car Insurance you will go to the wrong site. It makes you think you have to have everything insured through them. Go to "Grundy Worldwide" and you will be at the right place. I live...

The 29 wheel used on the 2 tooth gear was a keyed wheel. The 28 wheel was splined. That made the late 29 wheel different from both the 28 and 30-31 as the the 28 and keyed 29 wheels looked the same except for the center. If you want to put a 2 tooth gear in place of the 7 tooth you need the late...

I'll take a picture of the heater in the morning.
