Ok that does help a bit. I just changed the oil and thought the ole girl would like 20/50 to help with ?? year old bearings and leaks etc. And also I can try parking with the lever forward. I assumed the creep had something to do with the high gear clutch adjustment. But as mentioned the...

So I've been reading about clutch creep. My 26 T definitely felt like it's creeping a bit when in neutral. So I took off the inspection cover and checked the low gear, reverse and brake bands. They all seem good to me. So I jacked the driver side rear wheel up and tried to spin it. It was...

Ok that makes sense, thanks guys! I was just wanting to make sure the drums wouldn't too get hot?

Howdy. I installed new brake shoes and hardware etc on my parent's 29 Model A, front and rear. Question is, they are a little draggy despite the fact I'm sure that both front and rear adjustments are backed right off. What is acceptable and will they free up with a few short drives?

Oh ok I see it now - thanks guys. It also appears I may need to put in brake shims to get the travel correct. Do you sometimes have to put in more than 1? Just not sure how many to order?

Thanks Mitch that helped. I'm also trying to find out how the felt goes with the operating pin? Can't seem to find information on that?

Hi, I'm working on my Parent's 29' Model A. I'm working on the brakes and have a couple questions. How is the felt washer supposed to work with the brake operation rod? The hole is too small for it to fit over the pin? Then what is the best way to install the e-brake lining to the shoe...

I'm working on the front end of my parent's 29 model A. We have new king pins and had new bushings installed into the spindles. There is vertical play between the axle and the spindle. I have 2 thin shims and another thicker washer deally with a rolled shoulder. In order for everything to...

Hi guys, sorry for the long time lapse. Yes that solid steel wire was the one I was reffering too. I have got the engine running pretty good. But I do have another question though?? I've noticed that there is a voltage draw or spark on the generator wire. I read about having to short the...

Ok thanks for the replys guys. The wiring I've used is 12 ga. So that makes sense with the coil being hot all the time - I wasn't expecting that. Can somebody comment on the hard wire that is with the the soft wire that runs to the distrubutor?I'm pretty sure it doens't have cowl lights...

Hi, I am working on my Parent's Model A that hasn't ran for a long....time and I need some help on the wiring. I ran some new wiring (don't worry I'll tidy it up once it's working) but I'm not familiar with 6 volt positive ground systems and have some questions. The first thing I couldn't figure...
