I have used them and they are good for maybe 10,000 miles. Very good tires, easy to mount. Yes they wear out faster than black tires but of the white tires they are the best.

There is no torque spec for anything on a Model T Ford. No torque wrenches existed at the time. You tighten the nut as tight as you dare and then install a cotter pin.

It might work for a Model T but it was for some other brand of car originally.

It can cause problems if it's backwards like the ammeter would read backwards and if it has a modern generator cutout it might fry that so don't do that. Do disassemble every place that the current must pass and make sure every connection is clean bare metal.

We used to have a Champion spark plug cleaner / tester. It used a fine glass bead. Unfortunately after cleaning the porcelains of the plugs were etched which caused them to foul almost immediately. Fortunately Model T spark plugs - the original kind - are two piece so that you can easily take...

I've changed many hubs. It never required removing any spokes.

They may have been made when they were being made properly. I have a half dozen KW coils with manufacture dates in the 1940's. I sent them to Ron the Coilman and he was able to rebuild them and they will test just like a real one from the 1920's. Some of the earlier plastic coils are OK too...

The new ones have less wire in them so they are not as powerful as original Ford coils. They are fine for an electric fence though. Also they come with the wrong value capacitors so if you do buy them you would need to change the capacitors to have any chance of running well. Then adjust on a...
