In this case Mike, You have to be a Huckster. I try to buy Quality Parts where Possible. Snyders, Berts, Mikes, and Brattons I'm not sticking up for Macs, ( they charge Me NY & FL state tax, and have High Shipping Costs, and slow shipping) but in this case, the Welting is .45 cents a Foot. The...

Jack up the front end, unhook the front brake rod Clevis, are they still dragging? I would jack up both axles, back off the Shoes at each wheel, and adjust the Rods according to Les Andrews Red Book, and then Adjust the Shoes. I just put New Front Drums and Shoes on mine, Had to start all...

You probably have to remove the entire Rear End and Spring. To Look over everything and Replace the inner Axle Seals, as some one put Mud (Heavy Lube) in the Center Housing so as oil would not run out! Not a fun Job, but a Necessary one it sounds like to Me with your Situation. Better change the...

Here are my wheels with Yellow on them, In fact I used the Yellow form Harbor Freight and the Gun from HF. Going on 5 years now and the Gloss and Finish holding up Great. The one Picture taken opposite the Sun makes them look Orange, but they are Yellow. I sandblasted the wheels and Powder...

The only Model A Carb I've ever seen that used the Brass GAV Seat, was the early 28 carbs that were built by Holley, with a Letter H cast in both the upper and lower body's of the Carb. All the rest had a Cast Seat in the GAV tunnel, Machined in. Zenith G and 1-2-3 Although, the Re-Build...

Go to NAPA, use Coil (12 volt) IC14 Echlin (w/built in resistor) or have any other Auto Parts Dealers cross reference to the NAPA Number. I have been running 12 Volt Neg. Ground with the IC14 for 5 years, No Problems.

I read a long tine ago here on the Ford Barn. If they wont come apart by soaking them, and you want to get them apart. Build a fire in your Charcoal BBQ, and place them the Coals for about 4 Hours. After let them cool by themselves at least 6 hours. When I wintered up North, I had a Wood...

Today I sent a PM to a well known Engine Builder here on the Forum. His answer was that Rolled Edges or Crimp goes Up. So I have installed them the Correct Way in the Past.

Thanks Fellows, I thought I was doing it right, with the rolled edges UP or Fire Rings up. Again maybe Les has a Mistake in his book again??

I'm Confused. On a Head Gasket, where the Copper or Steel wraps around (rolled edge) about 1/16 of an inch, and crimped. Which way does it go on Engine, Up towards the Head, or Down towards the Block??? I was always told, the stamped Manufactures Name goes up, against the Head, if it doesn't...
