'29 Bronson Yellow Roadster. Love the big 21" wheels, the tiny doors, the wind wings, black wheels with narrow whitewalls, the motometer with wings, the '39 ****** with synchromesh, and having the top down on nice days. An absolute joy to own and drive.

Thanks Vic, Somebody else suggested that the fuel flow might cause the problem, so I'll check it out. Once I figure this out, I'll let everybody know what the fix was. Thanks. Michael

Thanks Corley, I'll try some of your suggestions. I had thought that it could be the coil or condenser. I don't know how to check either of those things except to swap them out and see what happens. Yes, it's a tough assignment to live here, but somebody has to support our local merchants...

I have a mystery with my '29 Roadster. It's stock 6V positive ground but with an alternator. The car runs great most of the time, but now and then it will suddenly run very rough, like it's only running on two cylinders. This almost always happens if I give it heavy throttle on an uphill or...

I knew a guy in Arizona who bought a Model A in Washington and had a similar problem when trying to register the car in AZ. The Washington title used the frame number, but the engine had been changed at some point in time, so numbers didn't match. This guy was told he would have to raise the...

I've run a '29 Tudor Sedan for over 12 years with a Pertronix ignition with absolutely no problems. 12V, negative ground. I've also run a '29 Roadster for over 12 years with a stock ignition with absolutely no problems. 6V, positive ground. I will say that the car with electronic...

Ahhh, great job! If I could have a CCPU, it would look exactly like that!

Look at the top of the side windows. When I was in the Navy, my commanding officer was Commander Briggs. Very straight laced, no-nonsense kind of man. A friend of mine had a cat named Murray. Murray was really soft and round. That's how I remember which is which.

I have 10,000 miles on a set of 21" Firestones, and they have lots of tread left. They should make it to around 15,000. Regarding modern tires on modern cars, I got 89,000 miles from a set of tires on my Infiniti FX35. They were Bridgestone Potenza P265/60 R18. Huge. Needless to say, when...

40-45, like most of the others. Now and then 52 on a straight and level road.

I think that we all won the prize by following your mystery and then finding out what the problem was. This may help any one of us who has a similar problem in the future. Thanks!

Nice! You know, if the mechanicals are ok, I would leave it just as it is! Best wishes.

I'll second the double-sided tape idea. My windwings almost came off twice, then I tried the tape and no problems since.

I'll second the recommendation for Jim Diehl. He did a great job for me too. trapperjd@aol.com

I bought a '29 Tudor in Greyland, WA, sight unseen, but I did have a good report on it from a Model A friend. And I got to see a few photos. It actually turned out to be a better car than I expected, and I still have it as my winter car.
