1948. Seems like it was just yesterday I was 71. :)

Just because you're reading 6 volts on your meter doesn't mean you have enough amps to turn over the engine ( or horn or lights etc.) Kinda like a 6 volt flashlight battery will read 6 volts but won't do a thing to start your engine.

71 next month. We're a hobby for dinosaurs !! lol

Thanks Kimeccles. Guess it's time to get some updates on my 1989 Judging Standards. My section 11 only goes to '6'. lol

Actually Both Ed. The one on the left is the accelerator floorboard cap that covers the rubber grommet and the one in the middle is the footrest mount. Sorry I wasn't too clear on my question. The one on the right is what I found in a box of parts that came with the car. Earlier foot mount as I...

Thank you "figment".

Late '31 Coupe. Does the flat side of the gas peddle & footrest escutcheon's go up or down. Thanks

Got her done JW. Thanks. Now, any tricks for the petrified rubber removal and installation? The weather strips are like rocks! Just dig it out the best I can? Doesn't seem to be any other way.

Any tips on disassembling my windshield frame to paint and re-seal would be appreciated. (It's sitting on my bench) The search option reveals nothing, the 'Red' Les Andrews book nada, etc. I've seen a "How to" blow up and procedure somewhere but it's lost in my aging brain. Thanks for any help.

Thought floorboard welting was tacked on.

Will this help? Mike V posted. Search Horn identification and scroll down to where Mike V of florida shows a Hutchens. There's a link below pic

I used to read on here NEVER use antifreeze in your Model A engine. Story was if it ever got into your pan it would eat the babbit. Has something changed?

Years ago a friend of mine used roofing "Bull Tar" on the inside of his doors as a sound and vibration deadener. Seemed to work as I recall. Anyone ever tried it . I'm at that stage of assembly.

I've been away from the 'Barn' for a few years doing other things and recently stoked my interest in the A's again. Dragged my coupe out to continue it's resurrection and back eyeing the comments on Fordbarn. I was wondering who would still be around and Ron's absence will truly be felt...

I'd only pull the choke out for one or two chugs or you'll be flooding that puppy and never get it going. Lightly file or sand the points to make sure crud hasn't built up.
