How much should I add to my cooling system in order to remove the oil and grease buildup? Yes, I will be driving it..

I need to get an exhaust manifold heater. I have an autolite waffle style on my other car, and i'm not really impressed, even with an added sheet metal 'scoop' mounted on the front. This new A has never had a heater before, so there is no problem with inlet alignment. No, it's not for the...

Perfect Bob, THANKS! I have a clutch problem on the compressor, might have to replace the whole thing....

I've lost the phone number of the guy in Houston that sells A/C kits for Model A's. I thought there was a recent thread about him, but search was unable to find it. Any help with his phone number and name would be appreciated.

My (well known) rebuilder said to just drive it like you're going to drive it, don't baby it. In order to not get run over by traffic, most of my starts in my heavy Town Sedan are at or near full throttle, with shifts at 3,500 - 4,000 RPM. I do kind of take it easy for the first 100 miles. My...

Nabco If you like the colors of TerryH's car, why not contact him to see if he still has his paint/color mix information.....

I use the balancer from Harbor Freight, it works with our wheels. I use adhesive wrights from NAPA.

Yes, a limited run. If you want them, get on his list. Mshmodela. You also need special bolts and nuts, available from the vendors

Thanks, guys. With 2 cars with dual side mounts, rotating the tires, servicing the brakes on these drivers has become too much for my COPD. I'm going to order a 55 ft lb torque stick for my impact driver, which should help immensely.
