I didn't pull the head and don't ask me why, but I decided to rebuild the carb and the miss went away. What would cause it to miss from the carb?

Did you ever bring it home? Jeff

This sounds interesting, do you have any pictures, please? I have two A hubs and new wheel bearings for them. I also have new T bearings now and I was looking at placing the A hubs with the drums in the lathe and turning the outer part of the drum off of the assembly.

Hello, I have a T with A wheels on it and one of the modified front T hubs was recently damaged. Before I go to the effort of machining two new front hubs from steel, can I please get some more information on where this 1/2" spacer is located you are talking about? I actually have a fully...

We usually go to Wawa on Friday evenings and fill the tank with their R gas. The gas in it now would be from two Fridays ago because we didn't run it this past weekend. I'm still inclined to pull the head, pull the valves and do a valve job on it just for the pleasure of knowing that it...

I think you just helped me with your comment on the tail pipe pop. I will listen to some of my videos and see if it pops.

That seemed to make it worse. I'm at a loss. I may pull the head and replace the springs. There isn't a lot of time on this engine so I may lap the valves if I see rust on the seats from when it was in storage.

The miss is all over the place. It can be at an idle or when I'm trying to cruise above 32mph. It has an aftermarket intake with a Tillotson model x carburetor and I just bought a rebuild kit for it and will install it soon. I run with the knob on the dash closed.

It has an aftermarket distributor and I replaced the cap and rotor button last week.

Thank you all for the replies. I put new plugs in and a new distributor cap and rotor button and it still misses every once in a while. I took the valve cover off and tried to use my phone with a slow motion video and that didn't catch the problem, but it is cool to watch. I finally got...

I drove up A1A the other day when everyone else in the family was busy. I turned around at Indiatlantica Beach. It took just a little over seven hours up and back at 32mph. Are you near there? We could always drive up again.

It only seems to be missing every now and then. I have been chasing plugs, wires, distributor, cap, rotor button, etc. and I took a friend for a ride and he said it was a valve sticking. I thought that maybe I could run it and see if it would do it while watching it and then come up with a...

I think I may have a valve sticking on one of my T engines. Can I take the valve cover off and run the engine with it off to watch the valves or will that cause a problem? Thank you, Jeff

I went and looked at another model T in October and ended up buying it and the house. I have been going through the barn and am finding more unusual plugs to add to my collection. I did find new A-25 plugs and will be installing them in my T to see how they do. We also went to Napa Auto the...

Great information! Thank you, Jeff
