Much appreciated; this isn't the first or only forum I participate on that has had to change over the years (actually decades) to keep current - after the transition, I've found that most folks very quickly get used to whatever the new is, and forget about the old.

I thought I remember reading in a thread that there was a bad batch of them. Anyways - definitely a good idea to set the timing with a test light. The first thing I did after getting a Nu-Rex wrench was check how it sets the timing, vs. using a test light. For my car, it happened to be dead-on...

Jeff Stevenson & Lori Adams in Idaho recreated and are selling a Fun Projects type of Regulator (inside the cutout housing); but looking at their website, the 6V Positive Ground variant is out-of-stock (all others show in-stock: 12V + & - Ground, 6V - Ground) They have a Contact Page on their...

Same here - noticeably brighter than the stock incandescent bulb & glass lens I had originally; I have no qualms over going modern to help prevent being rear-ended. I also have a third brake light mounted in the rear window as well, for the same reason.

I get an error on the above link; I think it was supposed to be this

Back when I was still working (on Pt. Loma in San Diego, in the 2010s), I'd make it a point to drive my Model A once a month into work - pretty much a 20 mile scenic drive along the coast in San Diego; it took me an hour, but the experience (and reactions from people who saw me driving by) was...

Thank you for posting - I've been pondering of getting one of these from Bert's, and was wondering what the installation process would be like.

I was wondering the same thing; From the Video's description on Youtube: Let's take a look at Sheryl's antique car collection dating from 1913 to 1931. She enjoys driving these around her airpark neighborhood, collecting and working on them. Today we'll be looking at her: 00:00 - 1913 Ford...

This video popped up on my feed today - looks like it was just posted yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIoNAgAI4yo

Going through my records, in April 2015 I bought a longer-than-usual coil wire from Mac's; it was advertised as 17 1/2" long, specifically made so that it would reach from the coil to the distributor when the coil is mounted with the contacts at the top - which is how I use it (my concern at the...

Is the current fan an aluminum reproduction, or an original?

Oh, yeah - forgot to mention that: It's also a fairly modern reproduction, a Crosley CR82 (obtained off of eBay as well; they used to go for around $25 - taking a peek it looks like they're about double that now).

Well, Here's the telephone setup that I keep in the car when I have passengers to amuse. The phone is a Candlestick phone replica from the 1970s bought off of eBay, and it's plugged into a XLink BTTN Bluetooth Gateway. It connects via Bluetooth to my cellphone and I wired it up to a...

Yup - that's why I went that route; I did what I could with my original horn, but it was intermittent at best - being a needed safety item, I absolutely wanted reliability. Even if buying a new one was costlier than sending my old one in for refurbishment somewhere, I'd rather have an...

From that thread, here is a link directly to his website where he discusses the development of his Fun Projects type replacement regulator, and from there you can go shopping (for both Model A & Model T). Edit: took a look at his website, looks like the Model A regulator is out of stock, with...
