ironman, I am interested in the Victoria Shades. My Victoria came with 3, so this maybe a perfect match. Please contact me at .... modelatom@comcast.net Thanks in advance, Tom Romine

Guys; We have a '37 water pump that will not stop leaking. We installed a rebuild kit, resurfaced the pump housing and the impeller down to 400 grit paper, still leaks. Replaced the 'square' rings, where the pump housing meets the case housing, still leaks. One time it leaked into the oil pan...

Can the Distributor be easily removed to set the points and then be reinstalled? How is the shaft aligned with the drive?

Guys; I am normally over on the Model A Forum, however a friend of mine has an 'A' with a V8-60. Really nice install, looks great. We are doing a Tune up. But I do not know how to adjust the point gap. The specs I have is .014 to .016. Where do I go from here ? Any Help out there ? By the way I...

Hey Guys; I am normally over on the Model A site, however a good friend of mine has a Model A with a V8-60 (early model with the sheet metal water jacket). Any way, the right hand water pump is leaking water behind the pulley and making quite a mess. It's getting on the top of the distributor...

Does anyone know of an easy way to get the double cone out of the differential housing? Soaking with PB blaster now, however does not want to break loose. Tom

Thanks to all who answered. Probably will use the Black Exterior Oil Based. Thin it for the first coat or two (so it will penetrate in good) then top coat. Thanks Again; Tom

Probably been asked before, but could not find it. What is a good coating for New oak wood? What did Henry use? Probably an inexpensive petroleum base product? How about an oil base pain? Thanks; Tom

I tried to order the patch and can not seem to get a response, can any one help me? Tom

Mr. Tom; I have no way of knowing that information as she was running when I bought her. She does seem to be one that was PUT together if you know what I mean. She runs very good except for the vibration. Tom

James; Yes we wiped the inside just to be sure. Tom

Sorry I did not get right back ..... The Mains were checked about 3 to 4,000 miles ago. They looked good so we just tightened them up to .001 to .0015, the rear was set at .001. I'm not sure how tires could cause the vibration as you usually can tell if a tire is out of balance. But I will have...

Maybe some of you have heard or have experienced this...... Driving at normal conditions up to around 42 mph my car runs smooth, however above that speed it will vibrate quite badly. Some days it will run smooth up as high as 48 to 50. If you push it on up, say 55 to 60 it seems to smooth out...

I Appreciate the info, Yes the dome light was in the Deluxe But for $9.00 I'm putting it in. Right above the Front Seats is the metal bow. The next 2 bows will be completely behind the Front seats. Is that where it goes? Thanks; Tom
