61 bought my a 20 years ago

I also use solvent. Works great and lasts a long time. That's a nice gift!

Happy Birthday Bill! Glad you're back

Thanks for all the input guys. I'll clean my points and put fresh gas in it. Ron

My all stock A ran perfect last time I drove it. It has been resting for 3 months. Drove today and it misses and backfires . You guys think my gas has become bad or should I check for other problems. I forgot to add anything to thr gas when I parked it . Any ideas will be appreciated. Ron

I had to cut a little bit off of the spring. I think it was one coil of the spring. After that it went together fine and I've not had any problems with it .

Just a thought,but maybe you could go to a tool and equipment rental store and rent one of those inspection cameras. Good luck

nothing better in the morning than great model A photos and a cup of coffee. Thank you

A battery disconnect switch is money well spent. Put it in the cab under your feet for quick access. I just bought one from Bratton's and it was about $25

My Dad's A had the same problem. After trying everything I used Harley Davidson white wall cleaner. It turned them snow white. Only need to use it maybe 3 times a year. You can only buy it at the dealer. Costs less than $15

When I did my brake job I replaced every part, and I do mean every part which was quit the big bucks. I had the same problem. The solution was to pack all the drums, hubs, linings, etc. and send them to a professional ( Brattons) and have them turn the drums and arc the shoes to perfectly match...

Great idea with spray foam. Thanks

I put Firestones on my 30 coupe and they rub the same way. I just kinda learned to live with it. Can't wait to look at Bratton's diagram. Good info here!

Great photo with your son. Believe me he will remember these times with the car for the rest of his life. This is the reason I have a Model A today. Nice car and enjoy!!
