    60hp flathead

    Has anyone dropped a 60hp flathead into a 28 model a chassis? Did you split the wishbone or go with new drag links? How about transmission mounts and pedal mounts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    In line electric fuel pump

    Does an inline electric fuel pump allow flow through it when not running? I am thinking of adding the electric pump as a boost pump to be sure fuel is flowing to the carburetor but still use the manual when the engine is running. It would also be a backup if the mechanical failed Sent from...

    Generator

    No I have not added a voltage regulator but I have run with just the diode cutout for 10 years and the amp gauge always showed some charging at anything above a slow idle, now it doesn’t show any charging until probably 1500rpm. Also I have installed a new battery. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Generator

    I have a 35 sedan with the original generator converted to 12volt neg ground. Amp gage stays in neutral position at a steady run speed but if I stomp on the gas and run at a high speed the gage goes to full charge. I have the diode cutout which I just changed to a new one and I can hear it...

    Model A pickup

    I am starting on a 31 A pickup with a model T box on it. The rear leaf spring goes into the box bed and needs to have a hole in the pickup bed. Has anyone taken out the leaf spring assembly and replaced it with leaf springs and shackles like shoe boxes have? I am not after purity just doing a...

    57 Fairlane 500, automatic transmission

    My transmission was overhauled a year ago, now it leaks like sieve. I am thinking I need to swap out to a more modern style. I know I will need the adapter plate, what is my best option? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mouse smell

    I have an old heater box and core that were home to varments for years. I remember somewhere i read about a concoction of things to soak the parts in, seems to me it had vineger and some other things in it. Does anyone have the recipe for the secret sauce? Sent from my SM-T550 using Tapatalk
