    1929 Briggs Fordor Interior Panels

    Hi guys, I want to know how far off the fitment of the interior panels is between the 1929 Briggs fordor, and the 1930-31. I wanted to get a set of precut panels from one of the suppliers, but they don't seem to have a set for the 1929 Briggs, only the 1930-31, or the 1929 Murray. How mutch...

    An interesting concept

    An interesting concept

    I had an interesting thought just now. It goes against purist sensibilities, but I'm purely curious in an academic capacity. What would be involved in marrying an original ford-o-matic 3spd automatic transmission to the model A motor? It wouldn't be the same driving experience, but its an...

    Any barners near hanover PA?

    I'm going home to my folks house this weekend to work on our 29 Fordor, and would like somebody with some experience to come and help me with a mechanical assessment. I have the engine to a point where it runs, but I need help finessing it, and going over the brakes. I finally have the main body...

    Timing of Engine

    It means that when the lever is advanced, #1 won't actually fire until the rotor is in that position, based on when the timing of when the points close. In the retarded position, #1 will fire sooner (later?).

    Timing of Engine

    Like Mitch said, adjusting the spark lever advances the points by turning the upper plate. Doesn't change the position of rotor.

    Rear Window Shade in a coupe (why?)

    Based on all these responses, I'd say the rear shade is the equivalent of today's modern "dimming mirror." Keeps the headlights behind us out of our eyes.

    Touring with a GoPro?

    I would have recommended iMovie on the iphone. It, too, is free. But it's much more comprehensive and has some really nice features. It's also more user friendly, in my opinion.

    Lighting at the dash area

    The LED tape is the way to go. Cheap, and easy to work with, and can be directly wired to a 12V power source. I used this for kitchen lighting under my new cabinets. It's probably one of your better options.

    How much can I beat on this car?

    Thanks for the tips! I have done the pan, and MAN did it need it. Did a full sludge clean on it, including the valve chamber. Haven't pulled the head, and yes, i ran only water long enough to determine no coolant leaks (internally), and now i have half anti-freeze, half water. I've already...
