LOL Mac's A model parts sales it! I should not go out of the box though. Just checked the site and I do not even see the stuff anymore, Guess I know the reason why now.

Quick Answer: changed Carbs and works fine. long answer: the reason why the first Carb had issues, When I got my carb back from the rebuilder I used the liquid seal from Mike's on the fuel line going into the carb. When I checked timing and spark and gas flow it had to be a carb issue so I put...

I have not driven this car in a couple of years but learned to drive it when I was 8, so you would think It is like riding a bike. but without a front seat and setting on the floor board( I am 6'5 so I could drive like this) I did have a little trouble doing my routine starting it. I am at work...

Ok will try it. Will be back on it Friday.

I had this one rebuilt. Once this one starts it will run fine and start on its own even after a hour. I do have new one I got off eBay . I might try it.

Huff , I noticed my choke was not fully closed. I need to look into that when I get off work.

That is a big problem. All my experts are dead. Howard green(master builder) Curtis Clark ( master of all) and my dad. The ford restorers club of ms is long gone and all my numbers for past members r wrong. I have driven this car for 30 years without one problem with A model experts just houses...

Did not drive it ( seat will be ready tomorrow).ran it for about 20 mins, new radiator in it so breaking it in. Sorry what does GAV stand for? I know I will slap my forehead when you tell me. It dies when I advance the spark all the way. Could not get the carb adjusted right for that.

Searched forums and did not find anything. I am trying to start my car after it has setup for a couple of years. I installed a new carb"zenith 2" just before I put it up. I did not crank it though. It has fresh gas, sparking.i tried cranking for a few secs and flooded it . I put some gas in the...

Re: Won't start- what else to check? I am going through the same problem now. I have a new carb that I put on about 3 years ago and never started it. I just got the radiator down and tried last night to start it. gas flow good( fresh gas ) getting spark at the plugs. I put a small amount of gas...

That is cool, late 31 slant? Same as mine if so. Me and my wife did that for a 20's theme dance for the gov of my state. It's been a few years so guess I can say that they wanted me and her in period cloths and look like gangsters. I had my grandad's hat and put on a old shoulder holster with a...

I ordered a new mount with the the spring and bushings just in case. I got the belt on without lifting the motor by pulling the generator in to the engine putting the belt around all three points then pushed the gen out and the popped in place. How far do I have to raise the motor to get the...

I am replacing the radiator in my 1931 fordor slant and decided it was way to easy not to replace my fan belt.( should have known nothing is easy in my world!) I had trouble removing the belt from the bottom pulley and finially got it off and tried to slice my thumb off with the fan blade. I...

Just started putting in my first upholstery kit in my 31. When I took the material off of the front an exposed the wood I saw where my dad had signed the wood when he upholstered the car in 1967 with my older brother in 1967. Will try post some pics if I can figure out how

I have a late 31 slant and just finished up putting the channels in my front doors, The others are right once you get your new ones and see how they are made you can do it. It was the first time for me and made it. Tomorrow I start on the back suicide doors and I also have to replace one of the...
