A friendly hello to the specialists. I have now got an analog measuring device and was able to measure the battery voltage perfectly. With the engine stopped I had 12.4 volts, with the engine running it was 14.2 volts. Even at higher engine speeds, the voltage didn't go any higher. So everything...

Hello Bob C Thank you very much for your help. Of course that could be the case, I'll see if a friend of mine has an analog meter. I will report back. Best regards Joe

@ Brent Hi, thanks for the quick reply. When I bought the Ford, the ammeter already stopped working, I thought the ammeter was disconnected during the conversion to 12 volt. I haven't driven that much yet, I've repaired the other things first. The alternator has an internal regulator, the...

Hello Specialists I bought my 30' Ford last year. At that time, the vehicle had already been converted to 12 volts. Now I wanted to replace the 1 wire alternator with a 3 wire alternator. I had the problem that the charging current could not be measured, the multimeter showed me some values...

Hello specialists, thank you very much for all your tips! @ Marshall I have checked everything, the track rod is free. I'll loosen the tie rod end plugs a bit and see if it gets better. I'll test things again with a friend and then let you know. Unfortunately I don't know your 28' Roadster...

Hallo, ich heiße Josef und komme aus München. Ich habe deinen Thread über das überhitzen gelesen. Mein 30er Ford hat genau das Problem wie du es geschildert hast. Habe den Kühler durchgespült, der ist blitzblank!! Werde jetzt noch den Motor durchspülen, aber ich denke es kommt eben von der...

Hello @ all Thank you for the quick answers with my problem. @ Flamingo 1931 I also suspect the Radiator, the cooling water was very rusty before flushing the radiator, now the water is clear. I will measure the temperature difference above and below times with an infrared Thermometer @wwirz...

Hello Specialists I have a 30 Ford Coupe with a 4 Banger Engine and a High Compression Cylinder Head. (5,5:1 ?) I have a temperature problem and can't get anywhere with it. How do I start... If I fill up the Radiator until I see the water in the Radiator, so not all the way to the Filler neck...

I did not make this step. I will now first loosen the lower ancher bolt, should I then screw in the adjuster until the brake shoes are tight or press the brake pedal and a second man then screw the anchor bolt tight?
