    Doesn't the spark advance lever give/adjust the final timing?

    '29 A Town Sedan, over heating

    Also, as history, prior to this spring ('19), the car had not been started for about 20-25 years. As to the cooling system, it had antifreeze in it. (I have already drained and flushed the fuel tank, rebuilt the carb, changed oil, trans and differential fluids.) Someone mentioned that the...

    '29 A Town Sedan, over heating

    Sorry this has taken so long to get back in the forum; had a wedding to pay for.

    '29 A Town Sedan, over heating

    Runs for about 10-15 min and overheats. Put new radiator cap with thermometer on and after 10 - 15 min of normal driving it boils over and the temp shorts to the top of the thermometer.

    Otwell Health Heater Exhaust manifold

    Mike, I found out how to attach pics. Take a look. Is the heater supposed to lineup with the tube through the firewall? Is there supposed to be a connection like a heater hose?

    Exaust Manifold

    Are gland rings required? I have a '29 Fordor Murray Town Sedan. When I took the exhaust (Otwell Health Heater) manifold and intake manifold off there weren't any gland rings. Did someone put it together wrong?
