I had a slight leak at the radiator neck which dripped down the inlet neck and would like to know if there's a way I can get rid of the stain without damage to the nice Ford Green which the rebuilder put during the rebuild. Thanks for your help. Indy A

And a "dab" did it !!! 5 Great Suggestions ...Thank you all. Indy A

Friends: Installed a rebuilt carb in my'29 coup; tightened the hex compression nut (new ferrule) down to two threads showing and get a very small leak (about a teaspoon every 24 hrs). Am afraid to tighten the compression nut further for fear of stripping the carb threads. Snyders sells an...

A Model A friend is installing a new water pump with the Thrust Collar kit behind the fan blade ...Does he need to grease the nylon washer ? Thanks for your expertise....

Thank you all...I'm very impressed with Ruth's and Ol Ugly's reply (they don't use the brass cut off when not running)... I think I'm going to follow that practice for a while. I did change the gas to a single nylon one that came with the original carbureator and .... no leaks???? Indy A

Bought a rebuilt Zenith carburetor 4 yrs ago which until recently worked well. Usually when I park my '29 coupe I turn the brass valve off in the cab so that the float bowl is empty. A week ago I didn't follow this routine and noticed that gas was coming out the rear opening so I ordered a...

I had the same problem...with a Dremel Motor Tool& cutting disk, I cut a slot in the end of the stud and the held the stud with a bladed screw driver and untreated the nut..Good Luck

Many Thanks to all Responders , especially Tom Endy, Chris & Sofield. Regarding the "Threaded Rod" method - From the You Tube Videos I got the impression that it was very important to do one bushing at a time using a shaft (maybe an old one) to keep the bushings aligned with one another. I'm...

Friends.. Watched two YouTube videos on rebuilding Model A Distributors... removing the old bushings is simple ........neither gives much information on the Installation process for the new replacements. One mentions using a vice but that's about all that was said or shown. I have...

Friends... I need your collective wisdom on wiper motors for my '29 coupe. The existing electrical unit died (probably a J.C. Whitney special) and I'd like to replace this with either and electrical or vacuum driven unit. Here's what i need: An interior mounted unit which uses the existing...

Thanks all that offered to help on the "leaking Sight Glass"... I had all the tools from a complete "re-install " 7 years ago... Followed one of the suggestions to slightly tighten the small glass retainer-nut and LO, the leak stopped. Decided not to attempt any more procedures.... Many...

Need some help !!! (1) How far down do I have to drain the tank (from full) so that I can safely open the glass retainer nut ? (2) can I replace the gaskets on lens without removing the large brass hex nut? Thanks in Advance... Indy A

I removed the three clips on my right/side headlight ( '29 Special Edition) to correct a slight mis-alignment from perfect vertical. For the past hour and at the loss of three finger nails, I cannot install even the first clip. Have you used special tools ?? I used small needle-nose...

Had the same problem. Cut a 2x4 about the height from the floor to the middle of the valve compartment - took a vice grip plier, laid the back of the plier on the top of the standing 2x4 (as in a fulcrum arrangement); clamped the jaws on the distributor shaft and whacked downward on the back...
