Looking for opinions on discoloring section of radiator. My radiator spits up a little on a hot day in Florida when driving 45 mph. Otherwise, it does not appear to loose water. Level stays just covering the baffle. I would think that discoloring in the photo suggests a tiny leak. Or could...

1923 Coupe: All of a sudden she does not want to come out of low gear. Pedal is stuck. Does not want to spring back. Once in awhile, it will spring back making a hell of a bang. Ideas?

A new Model A owner in the area has a 31 Five window coupe with a rumble seat. He is too big to get in easily. He has asked if anyone knows a way to modiy the steering wheel. I do not think so, but thought I would ask. Please: no answers like "trade it for a tudor or fordor.

Any secret to getting the front inner bearing seal out? Trick? Just destroy it? 1923 Coupe

With two springs on each stud 2 7/8 it is a ***** to get the castle nut on. Tough to get a prybar in there to lift the lower plate to the point where lower spring is compressed enough to get castle nut on. Can the 26-27 studs 2 3/8 be used?

When mounting a new radiator, are ther springs on the top and bottom sode of the bolt? Just on the top? Just on the bottom? 1923 coupe

Anyone happen to have a spare flat tube high radiator for sale------new or one in good shape? Needed for late 1923 coupe.

Pros and cons please: Cut out: diode verses voltage regulator. Thanks

Wow! Thanks for the info on the washer. The coupe is a 1923, but is has been fitted with the wider brake drum of the 26/27. The drum has the inserts covering the tabs where the outer clutch discs slot. The key does not contact the three thrust washers. There is plenty of play between the bottom...

The engine is vertical on the stand. The flywheel, triple gears, and drums are all in place. The three thrust washers are in place, When driving the clutch basket down on the key, and then running in the square head bolt into the shaft, I end up with no clearance. Book says I should be able to...

Hello, I reassembling my 26/27 Model T transmission, once I drive the clutch basket down onto the key in the shaft, and bottom out the retaining bolt into the shaft, I find that I have very little clearance. It is probably only .005 . The book calls for .015 - .027. 1. Has anyone tried...

Novice here. When I took the engine apart on my 1923 coupe I noticed that the number 2 rod cap had been X and a dipper pipe had been installed. I would have expected that to be the number 1. None of the other caps had been X or drilled. On closer inspection I noticed that the "number 2" had...

I have 023" end play in the crank as measured between the end of the block and the crank flange. What is this going to do to the operation of the magneto? I was undecided about putting in a new magneto or running off battery. Thanks in advance for comments. It is a 1923 coupe.

My last post only received 1 reply. Perhaps I did not phrase questions right. Hoping for more response this time. I am working on getting a 1923 coupe running. Not a show car by any stretch of the imagination. Last time it ran was 30 years ago. It was running on battery at the time. Magneto...

I am about ready to pull the engine on my 1923 T. It has been sitting for 30 years. When it was running last, it was running on battery. My questions are: 1. By 23 the T had battery, starter, and generator. Why did Ford continue to include the magneto? 2. What are the pros for running on...
