Thank you I'll check that ASAP and report back

I have a 54 meteor sunliner the power top will raise half way they stop. If I wait 30 seconds and start again it will go a little more. Is there a relay that could be getting hot? Sometimes it will go all the way. Just as if the power is disconnected. thanks Jason

a draw across the battery post?

like it says on a 80 degree day the first start of the day the starter cranks like the battery is half dead. new battery it works as normal in anything else. proper size cables good connections. immediatley after the first start i can shut the car off and restart it, it spins normally...

I'm looking for input on header application....... I have a 54 Meteor Sunliner with power steering and a Flat-0-Matic C4 conversion...... I'd like to put headers on but am unsure what will fit.

Car has always run hot....not until we purchased a laser thermometer did we realize just how how (280F on the head near the upper rad hose) after the glands and rings were replaced the car ran much cooler (around 200-210F in the same location which comparing to other cars seems to be normal)

Here is the situation 1912 Touring -engine rebuilt apprx 3 years ago by a very well respected builder (model t builder) -Model A crank -regular aluminum pistons(no high compression) -new brassworks rad This engine has never run satisfactory was far as we were concerned, we have had model t's...

Heads are the same, both early heads

WE currently have one on one of our cars......with a new brass rad.......the head temp is approx 100 degree hotter than an other car without the pump and a old tired rad.

Looking for experience with the new Leakless type sold my Lang's http://www.modeltford.com/item/3920LK.aspx

I'm looking to hear peoples experiences with water pumps on Model T's Thanks

somehow it got posted twice the compter froze and showed nothing posted then I reposted....Not sure how to remove a thread once it is posted A 1916 block was used...for the rebuild

You're most likely right... I was under the it would be more speedier on the road than it is....up closer to 50mph opposed to 30-35 mph

We never inquired
