The one provided didn’t accommodate a spring. Guess I’ll have to buy a new pin assembly.

I have a newly rebuilt marvel shebler carb for my 1929 model a Fordor. The float valve sticks. It’s the type that is gravity operated (no spring or anything connecting it to the float). It has a rubber tip that gets stuck continuously shutting off the fuel and stalling the car. I can rap the...

Was having overheating issues with my 1929 Fordor, so I bought a new leakless water pump and a heavy-duty radiator (among other fixes). Now that I've started the installation of the new radiator I noticed the fan blades are barely clearing the upper hose (approx. 1/8"). I'm using the stock...

Meant to post this awhile back. Unable to find an existing Model A bracket that would work with the 29 Fordor, I was forced to wing it. Built a simple bracket that bolted to the frame and connected an after-market "hot-rod" steering column bracket. It's kind of ugly, but it works and isn't as...

As much as I want to believe they got this running so easily, I'm thinking there must have been some editing done omitting some additional work they had to do. Then again, I'm jaded. I've never run across anything in the woods that was complete enough to even attempt to start. They had all...

Thanks for the heads up. Just sent Gary a check for one. As they are still sorting out things for his father-in-law's estate, he is having to do things old school (check and snail mail). It was sad to hear of JB's passing, but I'm glad to hear Gary intends to keep the business going.

With the unfortunate recent passing of JB Bullock, I'm struggling to find another source for quality rebuilt carbs. Does anyone have another reliable source for a rebuilt Marvel Schembler Carberator? In the process of tracking a leak, I discovered that the Zenith I'm running has a crack and...

I'm so sorry to hear that. Thanks for the update. Sad news.

Does anyone know if JR Bullock is still in business? His website no longer is there. Took my Zenith off to try and locate a leak that has been an ongoing problem since I bought my 29 Fordor. Turns out the lower body is cracked at the secondary well and the previous owner/restorer tried to...

Finally, after several years of restoration, the Ford 1929 Model A Fordor finally left the garage (much to my wife’s surprise). Problem is, it’s overheating badly. Spiking actually. Radiator seems to not have issues. Water pump? New radiator?

Anyone out there figure out how to use a later steering column support on a 1929 Briggs Fordor? I had to fix a tank leak due to the tank mounted steering column support and don't want to use the tank mount again. I see a fair number of posts for other body styles, but the Briggs has a...

My 1929 Fordor developed a gas leak at the steering column support. Repairing the tank now. Have read on here about people adding a 1931 support to alleviate the stress on the tank mount. I've seen the pictures that were posted, but my dash support is different. The pictures show the front...

Thanks for all the input. Just needed to know I wasn't looking at another short cut solution the previous owner had done. Took about twenty minutes of gentle twisting left to right from within the cab and it finally broke loose. There was the square felt mat between the top of the tank and...

I'm in the process of removing a leaky gas tank from a 1929 Model A Fordor. I've removed all the necessary pieces required to drop the tank through the cab (steering column, bolts, etc.). Can't get the gas spout to release from the cowl though. I know it's supposed to drop through a hole in...
