Thank you so much! Fill to the bottom of the drain plug or a finger’s tip below?

Hi- I am working on a TT that has not been started in 10 years. I have a number of questions about the rear end. I have 600 weight oil, should I use that? How much oil should the rear end take? (Up to the bottom of the fill hole?) What is the third plug, up near the worm gear, used for. I have...

Earlier this week, my 31’ wagon began leaking oil (pretty seriously) from the front crank seal. The engine was rebuilt 3 years ago by Antique Engine Rebuilders and has performed wonderfully. The front seal is the one piece neoprene type. I have removed the oil pan. That front seal was REALLY...

Hi- I live about 50 miles North of Detroit. I have a full charged battery. The starter spins normally, and the starter switch works. The horn is very strong, but no lights, gauges or ignition. I am a real nube when it comes to V-8’s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi folks- I own two 31 Model A’s that I lovingly and carefully brought back to life. Recently I acquired a 35 pickup in need of some love. I got it running, got the lights and horn working, got the windows to go up an down, all of gauges to work, changed the fluids, ………. It would always start...
