I want to put in a outstanding recommendation to this steering gear supplier in Florida, Kevin. While ordering his rebuild, he is the one we need in our hobby. He is straight forward, honest, and caring about Model A's and treats customers as we should be for repeat purchases. I would defiantly...

What is the correct torque value for the Snyder's head 5.5 or 6? Thanks

I'm in the middle of doing the same thing you are! I don't know a way of accurately measuring the steering shaft while it's in the car. I was told you can measure the outside column and get a rough idea. But reading this forum a slick way to measure the shaft is to take a wire, put your finger...

You've always been good Vern! Steering wheels make a good support while driving but only look at the pictures! We should have used that bourbon to aid getting that steering wheel off!! Pete W.

custom fit and also have many materials to choose from

I highly recommend CALIFORNIA CAR COVER company I've had a couple fro my cars. Same situation you have, lasted for 15 or more years. stil have them

Are these correct? And what are they worth? The owner wants to sell them.

Runs and stops very well as a driver. Sheet metal is very straight with no rust. A good solid car to restore or drive. Asking 12,000.00 will take offers. Helping to sell the car for an older man that can't drive any longer. For pictures and more information contact pbw@whidbey.com.

On the same subject...How do you adjust a V8 pressure plate in a Model A? I know it's the same method and 5/8 measurement. At 23,000 miles I was running some errands. On the way back I heard a snap, whurring, and some tinkling going on in the bell housing. Took off the inspection plate and I...

I had the same symptoms you have. In preparing for a cross country I too changed all the fluids and then the transmission would grind. After talking with everyone I knew I called MODEL A MEDIC 316-619-1821. He works on cars and sells parts. He said every parts supplier has their own formula for...

Thank You Very Pete in Wa.

Mine is a 2016 Ford F-150 with the aluminum body. 3.5 ecoboost. The paint is terrible. Thick in places and thin on others. Very susceptible to stone chips and bruises. Yea, it's a truck..but I treat it like a car and keep it looking good as my Model A. And something to expect with this equipped...

THANK YOU to everyone that responded. I really value your opinions and experience on this forum. Yes, Sierra anti freeze is still available that doesn't foam and I feel best for our non pressurized cooling system and precious paint.. Sold by Ace hardware on the west coast.
