Thanks for the responses. I think I solved the problem. The rotor to distributor housing was all over the place and actually kissing the #3 electrode. I bent the rotor electrode to increase the clearance on #3 to .035" and filed the rest down to .035". Set the points to .022" and retimed...

While I was adjusting the idle on the carburetor with the engine running, I noticed that the #3ncopper lead and the #3 plug was arcing to the distributor and to the spark advance rod (which is close to the #3 lead). It also sounds like the #3 cylinder is missing somewhat. The arcing did not...

Can someone please identify these seats? They came out of my 29 open cab p/u but are not the correct seat. I replaced them with new springs and upholstery and I want to sell the seats as the upholstery is still good. The bottom seat has a wooden frame and the top seat looks like the open cab...

We drove over to the Brassworks factory in Paso Robles on Monday to pick up a new radiator for my 29 open cab PU. Got it installed and just came back from a test run. It is a typical Fresno summer day, 85F. The highest water temp for the Ford was 150F (according to the temp gauge). Before, with...

Thanks for the info

Does anybody know where these can be purchased? Mike's doesn't list them on their website. Can somebody post more pictures or comments?

Wheels are sold

Not much interest in these? Price reduced to $150 each or $600 for all five

I have (5) 40 spoke Kelsey-Hayes wheels (for a '35 Ford)removed from my Model A. They are in fairly decent shape with beauty rims and '32 Model B hubcaps. They have decent 16" tires mounted on them. Will take $200 each or best offer. These wheels are at the El Monte airport, local pickup only...

On my roadster pickup there are three metal pieces on each door panel. I believe they are called out as "door trim and bezels". How are these attached to the door panel? Are they crimped on or glued? If they are glued, does anyone have a suggestion as to what type of glue?

Thanks for the help Ford Barners. I took it a step at a time. Strained the fuel through a coffee filter, pulled the carb screen, and cleaned out the fuel bowl. Also pulled the fuel connection to check fuel flow. Rechecked the timing, a checked the coil for spark. The spark wasn't quite as strong...

I need some advice. I recently purchased a 29 Open cab pickup with a Model B engine, Zenith Model A carburetor. The idle is good, I reset it yesterday, rest the timing just to be sure. After starting, with a warm engine the engine stalls when trying to accelerate past 25 MPH, the GAV is set...
