Yeah, I posted in the comments that the Ford Model A value numbers are way, way off.

Getting this transition done in such a short time is a real accomplishment. Congrats!

Been there, done that for my old specialty forum. Don't be surprised if it takes longer than you expect. Thanks for the effort!

I agree 100%. I've been going to car shows since 1966, thus 60 years. AACA, Hershey, Amelia, Meadowbrook, etc. The OCF is my favorite event of all of them. Second is probably the new London to New Brighton Vintage Car Tour. I perobably won't be able to make it this year, but if health...

Very sorry to hear this.

There's great history behind Perfect Circle piston rings. Get a copy of "One Man's Vision," the biography of Ralph Teetor, a blind mechanical engineer who ran the family company for many years. He was elected president of the SAE in 1936 and the organization still gives a highly coveted annual...

Ordered my copy yesterday!

ModelA29, It wouldn't have taken very much time at all to use AI to create the pastoral background and then to paste an image of a real 1930 coupe in front of it. Again, why use an ersatz image of a coupe to send to an audience who will realize it is an AI-generated image, with the idea it...

I agree. Just like it's quicker and easier to write text without punctuation and capitalization. I don't care for that approach either and would never email the members of an English teachers association in that manner.

Saturday morning, the MAFCA club sent a nice and positive 'Happy 4th of July' email to its members, picturing a 1930 coupe in a pretty pastoral scene. I am not a fan of AI, as I feel its impact is being way over-hyped. It can certainly collate vast amounts of information and see patterns that...

I don't see the timing instructions posted online, but the best thing to do is to call Shawn Buller at FSI. He provided all the info I needed about my FSI dist on a car I had purchased and in fact, diagnosed the problem I was having (a heat-failing coil) over the phone. Better customer support...

I know this to be true, as I started in the Model A hobby in the mid-'60s, but personally I prefer cars without side mounts for multiple reasons. But you can't order a used car; you just have to decide whether or not you're going to buy the one you're looking at. When I replace the tires, you...

If I told you guys how little I paid for this car, you'd all say I was lying or had held a gun to the seller's head. If anyone really wants to know, shoot me a PM.

It needs nothing at all in terms of the mechanics.

I bow to you, sir!
