I wrote up an article about using the airmaze with a K&N if it's of any interest. http://www.foxvalleymarc.com/Tech_section/k_n_filter.mht No noticeable loss of power or enrichening and at least I know its filtering a little. I think in the future I am going to better seal where the airmaze...

Some things to consider. If you have a stock head, you'll get less MPGs than the folks with high compression ones do. Also, are you sure your odometer is accurate? Could be off a bit? Additionally consider the following if checking mileage over a period of time; you have evaporation...

My Rustoleum Roadster < link to picture, still looks presentable. I have to touch it up every once in a while, but I bought it 6 years ago with this paint job and it looks like it was painted a LONG time ago. Maybe some day I'll make it pretty, but my kids still like to climb on it, and I...

Just my 2 cents, but I believe the Model A, is regarded in the same way a VW Beetle is. It was (and is) an inexpensive (relatively), reliable car. They aren't fast, flashy, rare and have no bragging value, HOWEVER those of us with them know their worth. I say let the snobs turn their noses up...

I belong to both, but am active in MARC, because the region is closest to me.

I wrote up an article and have it on our club website, ARTICLE HERE I used a K&N HA-3094. Harry K - Fox Valley Region-MARC

I am also interested. The setup I have now, an airmaze with K&N filter is in the way of the Aermore whistle I want to install. This highboy looks like I can still have a filter AND clearance.

After checking their website today, I am pretty my station was affected, but not sure if I got the bad stuff. I recall the night I bought the fuel, that they only had premium, all the regular and mid-grade were marked as OUT. I recall reading later that only the lower grades were affected...

Still got it? I'll take it.

Andrew, as long as the body wood is good, I think you got a really good deal. Looks from the pix to be a good solid car. Some cleaning up and you've got a fun driver for the summer. Welcome to the club! Also, I always recommend joining up with a local Model A club. There is TONS of support...

Bill, welcome to the wonderful world of creating a website! Firefox did not display much, but IE 8 did work fine. As far as it not working on other browsers, I am guessing that Microsoft didn't validate (or attempt) operation with other web browsers. I've been using the web development...

Salt and idiots on the road would be my 2 biggest deterrents from driving an A daily. If I were in a warmer rural area, it would be a consideration. Working in the Chicago area, you take your life in your hands in a modern car they way people drive around here. Heck if you are going ONLY...

I have one of those new ones, I bought it on e bay a while ago, but haven't gotten around to permanently installing it. I did notice that it does require some engine revving to get decent sound and it's a higher pitched sound over the Aermore. I don't like having to hack off a couple of...

101 and she changes oil and spark plugs! EXCELLENT!

I converted my roadster to a rumble from a trunk. As far as safety goes, it really isn't that much more dangerous than any other Model A really. Look where the passengers sit in a sedan, right in the rear of the car. With the exception of not being ejected as easily, as the rumble, or any...
