In an old Bob B. post, he stated; Radiator Coolant Level Replenish coolant up to baffle in upper radiator tank If no baffle, make coolant level halfway up the top tank. I have no plate. I fill my radiator just to the top of the visible 'core'. I immediately get overflow upon stating. Once...

Problem solved. Installed a rebuilt water pump last year. 4 squirts of grease in the front grease fitting and 1 squirt in the rear fitting and no more squealing. Thanks to Las Vegas Model A club member. and thanks to the other replies.

I put my early 30 Model A in storage the end of May, removed battery. It was running fine at that time. Today I reinstalled the battery and it started on first 'try'. However, it immediately started to squeal and did my next 2 starts, also. I turned it off immediately each time. The fan blades...

I had quadruple bypass in 2003, 2 heart attacks in 2015 with CPR administered after the 2nd one. Further complications gave me the choice of/or not of having a Boston Scientific defibrillator (pacemaker combined) implant. I opted to have one implanted 5/30/23 by a VA surgeon at the Nellis AF...

8 yrs ago I put the washers on all four wheels of my Early 30 Tudor.. Very, very unsafe in my experience. They loosened ! After about a 5 mile ride I 'luckily' returned to my garage and took them all off! They are on my shelf collecting dust at this time.

Alexiskal, Thanks for the yellow tape info. I guess that's why AutoZone and O'Reilly's didn't have it but Ace Hardware did.

Should I use Yellow PTFE gas line thread seal tape or just hand tighten as Paul Shinn does on his fuel line 'replacement' video. I am installing an A-09189-a valve and an A-09194 filter. Present valve has lasted 30+ years with no tape. Sammy at AZ Model A says the crappy gas with excess ethanol...

I've been using Water Wetter for 10 years in Arizona.

My Lucas tires and Lucas inner tubes are holding up fine, even in the AZ desert heat !!!!

I use the removable section, for 8 years I remove my battery for 'summer storage' as I leave each summer for 3 months.

Thanks John, Your reply is exactly what I needed to know. Randy

PS - there are cotter pins attached with the nuts.

In my Red Model A Vol. I Mechanics Handbook page 1-331 lower right diagram... my question is re: the two 7/16-20 nuts. Are the two nuts fastened tightly or loose. Mine are a tad loose and they have not been 'touched' since I bought the A in 1963. Would they be 'loose' because of the spacers and...

Thanks for the 'civil' replies.I'vr been alternating empty/full tank storage for 58 years ownership of my A. 2 float replacements in that time period and tank is fine. This year I'll go full with Sta-Bil.

I leave Bullhead City, AZ each summer because of the heat and return in the middle of Sept. My A is garaged stored year around. For the last 10 years I have been either emptying my fuel system and replacing glass sediment bowl filter screen and gasket prior to refilling in Sept. or filling the...
