Thanks to all who responded. This is definitely a model A engine since no fuel pump but it may have model B internals. Thanks again all.

Thanks, can you tell me what this engine would have used for to need a governor?

Just figured out how to attach a picture, hope this helps with identification.

Just purchased a model A ford engine with an unusual gear driven cylinder on the carburetor side. The block is cast with an opening to accept the cylinder which has an oil line directly to the lower block. The engine serial number is *RF3953* . can anyone identify what this cylinder or pump...

Thanks for the great information. I will be rebuilding this engine and that should give me more info. Thanks again for all the help.

I have a Model AA ford that has been converted into a buck rake and I am trying to date the engine. The serial number is RF5411. I can find no information or data referencing anything close to the number. It appears to be a factory number that has the star both before and after the number...

The 31 Coupe is running perfectly but I have 2 problems. First, the front wheels shimmy and shake almost violently after hitting a bump. Everything seems tight in the front end and have about 4 inches free play in the steering wheel. What do I need to do to solve this problem. My second problem...

Been around a long time. Sure like to buy a dozen for 3.00 today. Harv.

Thanks all, copper gasket it is. Harv.

Thanks Tom, that's the route I'll go. Harv.

This might be a dumb question but I don't seem to be able to stop water from leaking from the water outlet on to of the head. Yesterday I broke the outlet casting trying to tighten and upon removal the gasket seemed to be blown out on one side. Should I be using more than one gasket? also I see...

With the front end on jack stands, I have about 4" of play in the steering wheel. Is this acceptable? Also How full should the steering box be? Everything seems tight, I feel no play in the king pins. I'm new to the Model A but I'm learning. Thanks in advance for all help. Harv

When I first engage the starter on my 31 coupe it turns over very slowly, like it's not getting enough power from the battery. After several very slow revolutions it seems to pick up speed. Is this normal with the Model A or do I have a problem? I have a 27 model T and it spins normally. Harv.
