    Search for overflow coolant after idle engine

    I took my A out of winter storage. After warming the engine I put the car back into the garage. After shut down about a cup of coolant ran onto the floor. All I could tell was the cooant was coming from front middle of engine area. Did something break over the winter.

    Old problem but new twist? Coolant loss

    I have a new Berg radiator -- WORKS GREAT -- New Head, New water pump. Any way the car runs great. However, it loses coolant a pint or so every 00 miles or so. No overheating seen nor is the fill line too high. I am assuming it is being burned through the head/block. How do I chase this...

    Car has Zero Electric

    I want to thank everyone for their responses. After getting it out of the car the battery of less than 2 years was bummed out. It looks to have an internal short somewhere. Now is the time to see how good guarantees are.

    How many 130a and 130b deliveries are left.

    We have a pretty good idea of how many deliveries were made. I am seeking some good guesses on how many De Luxe Deliveries are sill with us and driveable. MARC and MAFCA said they could not search their database as car info is not always given by members. Thank You

    Brakes Not Stopping The Car

    This started last week. When I brake going downhill (slowly) the car does slow down to a walk, but the brakes won't fully stop the car. It will coast to a stop on its own with me standing on the brake pedal.. How to adjust? The drums and shoes are relatively new. I'll take all ideas.

    Bad manifold gaskets

    I had the same problem. I used Snyder's copper manfold gasket A9433-C with Permatex Ultra Copper Silicone sealant. No problems since. BTW make sure with a steel straight edge you have no warping on the manifold or the block.
