Big Hammer, thanks for replying. I will try to get it to work. I can only get it to dribble the gas slowly, certainly not a flow.

Can you use an in-tank fuel filter inserted in the shut-off value of a late 31 Model A? I know that they are used in the earlier Model A's when the shut-off valve is inside the car.

Thank You for your response. I have ordered that part. Bob

I am off too Auto Zone to place an order. I assume you have the converted F 150 Transmission as I do. Easy to drive with it but a little tough on some hills. Thanks for your response. Bob

The F 150's had n 11" disc where mine is 9". Thanks for responding.

I have a 4 speed transmission that I believe started it life in a ford 150 truck. It was adapted to fit a Model A. I am searching for a part number for the clutch disc. The hub of the Model A clutch disc is too large. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Jerry, Beautiful truck. I am helping to sell a friend's 1931 Panel truck. His looks like the one you have in the museum. Is there a difference between a Model A Panel truck and a Panel Delivery? What is the Ford body style number for your Panel Delivery and for the Ford truck that I have...

Thanks to all for your help!

How many amps should a 12V starter draw on a bench test? Same question for a 6V starter. How many amps should the 12V and 6V starters draw when installed? Thank you. Bob

How do you determine if the cup in the front brake shaft is too worn to work properly? Is there a certain depth to the cup in the shaft? How far in into the cup should the operating pin fit? Thanks. Bob

I'm looking for ideas on gaining more leg room in my 1930 Cabriolet with non-adjustable seat. If any of you have made such a modification, I would like to know what you did. I was thinking of removing the front seat riser and the rumble floor pan with the bend, installing a flat rumble pan and...

Thanks JW. We will make a change today as I have a extra correct smaller spring. I tried to find a large one and it took a while. I know that they are difficult to find and I will so the same as you the next time I am at a swap meet. Thanks again for confirming the up and down with the...

I was having difficulty primarily raising and to a lesser degree lowering the drivers window on my slant window sedan. The channels seem OK as I had replaced them some years earlier. After removing the regulator, the larger of the two springs was broken. I was able to find a replacement but...

Help!! I'm looking for the larger of the two springs for the front driver's door window regulator on my slant window Model A. Told by Brattons they are no longer made. Tried Bill's in Pennsylvania and Jim Gordon's in Rosemead,CA. Any suggestions? Do you know of a spring maker? Thanks. Bob

I have a cable shifter on my '31 slant window. I added the overdrive to my F150 4 speed transmission because of the gap between second and third. I would go up a good hill in second gear at max 25 mpg because the car would slow too much during the shift to third and would bog down. I use the...
