Sorry, I do not know how to post my fotos here

I'm having problems with the front brake on my Model A: it squeals when I brake hard and sometimes seizes up when I come to a stop. It seems like something is loose. Overall, though, the braking performance is good, and the car hardly pulls to one side. - When I removed the brake drum for...

Thank you so much for all the responses so far! Some of them have been very helpful and have put my mind at ease.

1.) Since when have there even been overdrive transmissions for cars? 2.) Can anybody tell me, since what time the earlist Overdrives were available for the Model A?

Sorry for not sending pictures! I didn't know how to manage. In the meantime, I got along very well and I have been successful. I thank you all very much for the good advice! I am very busy at the moment with work and with preparation of a trip (Will fly to Dearborn next week and look at the...

I bought and imported an old MMO oiler from the USA and unfortunately found that the brass valve inside was destroyed by corrosion. Do any of you know someone who restores MMO oilers and who sells spare parts and sometimes has them remanufactured? I can not do anything at all with this oiler...

Hi crankster, the Marvel oiler operates inverse to vacuum - high vacuum closes the clearance between the needle & seat, and delivers "less oil". When vacuum drops, when under load, the clearance increases delivering more oil. The Ampco does not have this feature, so when vacuum drops it...

Hello, I would like to have a real Marvel mystery oiler for my Model A. Unfortunately they are hard to find and if, then very expensive. Yesterday I found an offer for one that is supposed to be for a JUDSON SUPERCHARGER MERCEDES 190SL . In the photo it does not seem special and the box does...
