Thanks for the pep talk guys. Waiting for parts to arrive only to find out I didn't go through my check list has been a real downer. Im just going to order a new distributor from MAC's.........Thanks again.... Model A Ford Distributor - New - Body & Rotor & Cap & Lower Shaft Not Included...

I've never been very good at electrical problems, and even less informed about motor work. We started having problems on the 30 pickup about a month ago, I have to admit we were not very systematic about tracking down the problem correctly and so in the process of trying to track down the...

I have a new after market 6 volt wiring harness installed, are you saying that wont work on a 6 volt 30 amp positive ground alternator? Im confused.....

Blew my ammeter and ordered a 30 because I also purchased a 30 amp alternator. The alternator is on back order but was wondering if I can install the 30 ammeter with the original generator in place?:confused:

Combination of the ammeter, keyed ignition, stuck cut-off switch AND GREMLINS! Also timed the truck while we were at it. She's runnin fantastic now, AND I've learned a lot in the process but my God what a pain in the *** lol..............

I've narrowed my no spark trouble to the terminal box. I wired it correctly and all the connections on both posts look fine, but when I push and pull on the amp meter wires it looses amps. I'm goin NUTS! Is the box supposed to be grounded?:mad:

Something in the dash is making my ignition cut out. It runs fine until I lift the dash up to bolt it in, and before I even get it in place it cuts out, Im goin nuts!

You would think by now I would have learned not to be cheap :( Had no sparky on the 30 pickup yesterday. After changing out the condenser, coil, charging the batt I find that the ignition switch is busted open :mad: NEED A BETTER SWITCH :mad: DONT BUY THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!! Model A Ford Ignition...

Cant thank you enough Gary. These are great! I lost one of the edges on the side from rust, but Im think I can carefuly spot weld some tabs that can be folded over the rubber. Again, thank you.

Even any pics of the rubber seals would be helpful.

Ive got Les Andrews I & II books, and a stack of other restoration books but cant find anything on front windshield info. Have new glass, screws and rubber but nothing to help me put it together. Any links out there?

Wow! Thanks for all the info guys, Im on it!!! I like Tom's idea, keep it simple eh? Confession, the reason I needed to know was I lost the bolt for the bendix spring in the bell housing and had to pull the starter. Did I find the bolt? Hell yes, shop vac with a length of garden house taped to...

Any of you guys make your own hood prop? I bought the leather corners but forgot to order the bracket to set the hood on and I need to work on the car lol.

I was lucky in having no less than six good men on hand, four lifters and two spotters lol. I ran tape lines on the frame and cab and had put tape and white dots on the frames mounting holes. Very smooth....
