    Don't Blow My Horn!!!

    The horn has two electrical connections: one is an always-on-dedicated-live 6V (or 12V) line. The other is a dedicated-to-ground line that goes inside with the horn button located in the center of the steering wheel. When the horn button is pushed it very simply closes the electrical circuit by...

    Trailering Model A Cabriolet

    On my 66 Mustang vert, I open both side windows just a crack, and that eliminates the soft top from building air pressure that otherwise will build going down the road. As long as you minimize the native air pressure from building the OEM hold downs are sufficient.

    I seldom drive at night yet enough to need a thoroughly tested headlight/tail light system that includes a fully functional turn signals (that have enough modern-day CP to really light up the road) I also have a 3rd brake light that also functions as part of the turn signals.

    Electro Tech Turn Signal Control

    I would give them a call first. I have had my Electro Tech turn signal installed for several years without fail. I've also had problems with wiring that they helped solve. I also sent my control unit back to have it reprogrammed ($25) for the new ability to sense the turn motion in order to...

    Shift knob info

    I did a Google search for Ford model a shift knob. One of the many custom knobs came up with the shift pattern on it. The size of the thread as listed for the knob was 16mmx1.5. In looking for that knob I perused a bunch of other ones most of which were listed as being this size. Once I found...

    Shift knob info

    I needed a custom shift knob that showed the shift pattern so my wife (75) could drive our Coupe - thinking others may have a similar need is reason for the post. I personally prefer the original but in deference to her I made the change without thinking twice.
