I thank all for your interest in my technical index and I do try to keep it up-to-date. It is intended for all at no cost and can be copied as you see fit. I did have an arrangement with Shelly to post it on the old FordBarn format but I do not have a place to post it on the Internet now. If...

Hi citroen, Sorry for taking so long to respond but I knew that I couldn’t explain what pictures could clearly show to answer your question; I needed time to get my act together and take good pictures (turned out a little fuzzy). As you can see, this IS a Model B starter (3 rather than 4...

I just received an email from Dan and he has moved. His new email address is: dan4banger@columbus.rr.com and home new address is: 8100 Dustin Rd., Galena, Ohio 43021. His new phone number is: 740-965-2515. He tells me that his web site has now been updated with this new info.

Yes there are halogen bulbs available that work without modifying your original head light reflectors and sockets. And you can get 6V, 8V and 12V bulbs. Go to: www.classicandvintagebulbs.com

I would also check the gap between your rotor and the distributor body on each of the four contacts to the spark plugs. I believe it should be .020.
