My Great granddad bought it for his then new fleet of AA's in the early 30s. Then used it in his WWII surplus semi tractors and 6X6's. He bought it in the 1 gallon metal cans. He ran it in the crankcase and fuel tank. Dad used it as a Top Cylinder Lubricant... aka in his fuel tanks. IN 1986...

I'd say a great price. $26,000.

Exactly...2 per car, over 4 million made, equals over 8 million dog nuts. That allowed him to take an extra camping trip with Thomas Edison and friends. Once a poor farmer... always a poor farmer. My old boss used to say "mind the pennies and the dollars will look out for themselves. "

My A started doing this on a recent drive. It turned out to be a loose bolt attaching the carb to the intake manifold and it was sucking air. Simple fix.

That does seem like real low air pressure ona passenger car. I spent 23 years as a cop. We went to classes often for Emergency Patrol Driving. There they preached the importance of tires being at the rated amount of pressure. They had video of a rear tire under inflated, I think 20 lbs, and...

How ironic. I just was reading Les Andrew's Blue book and came across this very advice. Great minds think alike I guess. Andrew's... not mine.

As a 20 year old who grew up working on the farm I went to work in heavy earth moving construction. We worked at least 10 hr days Mon thru Fri, and from 4 to 12 hours on Saturday. I tried to tell the boss he wasn't getting much for his money on Saturday. We were all beat from 50-75hrs in the...

@Big Hammer. I for an email today stating I got a refund. Really surprised me. I just got off the Snyders website. I ordered 7 items, some spares, some I need. I've used them before, I'm not worried about their products or Shipping. Now if the weather would drop below 100F.

Update, I went to the website and canceled my order... maybe soon I'll get a refund.

Your post is what is priceless...I snorted ice tea out of my nose... hahaha. At least their model A could get a few miles on it... unless they trailer them.

I really can't believe some are making this much fuss over less than Two Dollars. Just because you drive a car from the 1930s doesn't mean you have to relate things in 1930s prices. Here's a glance from today's prices from a few local fast food shops. McDonald's Small French fries $2.59 Basic...

Not wanting to start another thread, but I totally agree with you Brent. We've all seen someone post on social media something vague like " my car won't start" and get responses from being a new battery to needing a complete overhaul. I am mechanically inclined, but have no problem paying for...

All model A trend to mark their territory. Mine leaks a little, the transmission I think. I keep a smooth sheet of tin under it. I run 10W40 in the crankcase. It was 106 here today, it needs help staying cool. Good luck.

Where did you find my last evaluation from work??? 😆

I didn't know that was a thing... when we met at Kerrville I left my A at home because I knew it needed repairs and didn't wanna chance it crapping out on me But I've seen much guys be much cheaper than that. Just never was that guy. I do have the Red and the Blue book by Les Andrew's. Also a...
