This may be off subject; but when you have the diff out is a good time to replace the spring shackles.

Thanks all for the advice. I am going to replace the condenser as suggested. The short cable that came with the pop-out will be replaced (thanks Dick Crabtree). Other than that, it's wait and see cause once I send off the short cable, I have to wait for it to return. Also, a great thanks to...

It well could be the Pop-out, and I will take a look, it may be screwed in too far.

I thought of that too, but before I put in the Pop-out switch, it was running fine. I changed out the carburetor with one from my other A with no luck, still the same, but I will look into the carb issue, it's a Zenith 2 and its clean; I can and will change out the float.

Replaced the carburetor, new manifolds, gaskets, checked timing, and replaced the distributor with a "rebuilt" pop-out. The car will not idle; any suggestions?

Gee, I bought several Model T panels from Howells over the phone, they told me the panels were in stock; I gave them my credit card info, hung up and prayed (Langs told me I was wasting my time). Sure enough the stuff came 2 weeks later, and there were many panels to boot....so you can never tell.

Just so you all know, Dick Crabtree restored my switch to something more than first class. He is all so a senior member of this forum. He told me that he has restored over 1000 ford switches in the 50 years he's been in business. His turn around time was less than 2 weeks! I had tried...

I finally contacted Dick Crabtree, and am sending him my "pop out". He told me that he has fixed many thousands of switches for over 50 years. My sincere thanks, it shows that the forum works!

Thanks to all who responded. My switch is an original and is in very good condition, but it needs a key, and I have the blank and am taking it to the locksmith.

Looking for feedback on using a "good" pop out switch in my 31 SW sedan
