I'm looking for the older style finger hose clamps for my fuel lines. I have 3 but would like about 7-8 more if I can fine them for my car and a 2nd car. I been hunting eBay for 6mos and only found 1 so far. Anyone have some they want to sell so I can get rid of these other store bought...

Is there an Alan Nichols? I wish I saved his number. Thanks for the replies above so far. Hoping to reconnect with him.

Hi. I cannot remember a fellows name who was doing model a restoration in southern CA somewhere in the vicinity of the early ford store or Near Long Beach. I believe his name was Alan. Does anyone know this location or have his contact info? Thanks.

I use pb blaster30wt engine oil, or wd40 after rust removal. I have a 100 gal e-tank and just ran 4 trans cases and an f100 steering box through it. Flash rusting is a real problem in southern ca because parts seem to dry and rust instantly. Stromberg carb bases are my nemesis when it comes...

Hi, I threw a rod and damaged my main babbit in my block. I’m looking for a replacement model B block with insert bearings in it. I’ve shopped around a lot and cannot afford to have my block machined and insert bearings put in. My last attempt at keeping a B engine in my 30 roadster (and not...

Need to build a v8 for my roadster. Threw a rod bearing in my diamond B block about 2.5 months ago and its scrap at this point (needs new main insert bearings). I’ve priced it out and the Flathead build is going to cost WAY less. Sad but the banger is out, the 8 goes in. Rebuild my trans...

Electrolysis is best in my opinion. Buy a cheap voltage controller on Amazon. No chemicals to deals with. Set up and let er rip. Like someone said earlier, be prepared to dry and oil it immediately upon removal or go right to paint. Don’t use electrolysis on stainless or chrome. I always...

Hi, I’m back to the drawing board. The shop I was going to use cannot do Model B engines, only As, so I’m searching again… My list - BMS doesn’t do main bearings - Johnson’s auto - left 2 VMs, no call back yet - HH - 2VMs, no call back yet - Turlock machine - spoke with Joe and I don’t think I...

Hi Team, I called everyone you all offered. some did not do main bearings and many never called me back. I was able to find someone to do the work by network through the MAFCA so I’m all set to get the engine fixed, unless more bad news is received. Thank you all and keep your fingers crossed...

Thanks to all for your replies. I drive to SF often for work so taking an engine along is no sweat. I’ll call them all. Thanks guys. J.

Hi, my model b diamond block took a dump, threw a rod bearing and smoked the front main babbit bearing. I left HnH a VM but does anyone know of other machine shops in southern CA that can replace the babbits for insert bearings on my block’s mains? Thank you.

I wired in a 12v version of something like this 6v version. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Car-DC-6V-32V-to-5V-12V-USB-Charger-Converter-Module-Cable-Power-Adapter/318914878?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=18988 I cut the back off of my cigarette lighter housing and snuck the usb charge port...

Check speedway, I put a posie super slide on my 1930 - great spring at a great price. NOTE: it’s likely your “made in USA” springs are made from imported steel. The posie is Made in USA but the steel origin is not declared
