I would think that if you still have "Milk Shake Like Oil", take note of water level in radiator AND oil level on dip-stick. Let the car sit for a few days....then check the water level in the radiator AND check the oil level on the dip-stick. If the water level has dropped AND the oil...

OR......... You could watch the movie "My Cousin Vinny" which explains it all. Those of you that have seen the movie know what I'm talking about. I still laugh after seeing it a thousand times.

No, there's no sign of any red silicon and I could not find any Manufacturers name or part number on it either.

I'm not sure what type. It's not copper and needs to be wiped clean to see if there is any manufacture's printing on it. I'll have to post later what I find out.

Yes, I've already taken the head off to have a look and the Head Gasket definitely had lost its integrity and needed to be replaced. I keep my Model A in the garage so I know it's not rain water. I also don't use anti-freeze/coolant......just water. Also the first thing I did was drain the...

I found water in my oil (fortunately before starting it). Looks like I need to change the Head Gasket. So I'm going to drop the Oil Pan and clean it out, swab the bottom end while the Oil Pan is off, and change the Oil Pan and Head Gaskets. Are there any recommendations or feedback about the...

I agree with "rip"......Kewanee Green or Elkpoint Green. I don't know the paint code numbers. But try the Kewanee Green on this site and compare. http://www.abarnyard.com/roadster/co...orchange.shtml Nice Hot Rod.

I found a picture that might help.

Yeah, I don't know the dimensions of the taper on the Model A steering column, either. I was just going by the years that it said it would fit. And the picture showed a slot for the "woodruff key".

I don't know if the 50's style steering wheels use the '60s and '70s 3-hole mounting methods or not, but this adapter might work for you. http://www.speedwaymotors.com/1928-1948-Ford-Steering-Wheel-Adapter-Hub,3307.html

"De nada" (Spanish slang for "you're welcome"). The numbers were for the "Rally" that went along with the show. Every car had a number on the doors. The cars varied from Mustangs to Corvettes and VW's.

My job as an Airline Captain takes me to Mexico every so often. Last week I happened to be there when there was a "car show" taking place and there were a few Model A's there. Pretty Cool.

Bad Ammeter, maybe? Or wiring to the ammeter. Just as a starting point, I'd try connecting a wire between the two posts on the junction box (jumper wire bypassing the ammeter) and then see if your horn and lights work. If they do work it will probably start; providing everything else is...

I know it doesn't feel like it now, but you're at the FUN STAGE of your project. I think it was the Les Andrews' Volume One Book that had the diagrams of what body blocks go where with what size and type (carriage or hex head) of bolt to use in each hole. Just take it slow and easy...

It seems (to me) that the "Love Affair with the Automobile" is over for most of the public. Cars have become just another appliance for most people. Look at how they drive their cars as if they are "disposable" like most things produced today. I bet most drivers don't even know how their...
