Yep, they do - but really tight. Thanks Mitch!

I'll try harder. I'm curious too. Thanks

I opened the box tonight and tried to unscrew the inner and outer parts with no results. Does anybody know if these plugs are threaded and unscrew apart or are a fakey looking solid piece? I put heavy force on two of the four in the box and no results. Tried both directions. Thanks Ford...

Is that white cookie-like stuff that forms between the head and block anything to worry about? On this motor, it is continuous on all four sides and reforms in two or three months. I don't know what the head gasket material is. I run the motor every week year round and coolant is tap water...

Has this photo been on Fordbarn before? Date is in lower left corner. Ears of corn are hanging from the top of the pumps.

Friend wants a AA truck in reliable driver condition. Prefers a flat bed. Must have title with correct numbers. Thanks.

Re: GAV drifts open - all fixed Thanks for pointing out the friction arrangement inside the carburator. I took the GAV housing out and closed down the four fingers. Also, I reformed the C-clip to provide more friction and all is well now. Thank you Ford Barn. Tom

Is there an adjustment to add more rotary friction on the GAV? Mine has started to drift open while driving and is causing rich running. Today, the motor started skipping and all plugs were covered with black mossy looking carbon. Carb is late '31 side-bowl. I appreciate the help. Tom

Filled up with non-ethanol boat gas at a newly rebuilt station that is not listed on the pure-gas website. It is a US Foodmart at 824 North Dixie Highway in Lantana, Florida. 90 octane was $4.41.9 per gallon. Use the pump with the blue nozzle.

I had one where the gasket between carb top & bottom was too far into the bowl and the float hit it. Sealant build-up etc had to be trimmed back to provide clearance.

Here's a link to sales brochures. It includes Model A Fords plus many others. OOPS link didn't work correctly, I removed it.

Wanted right front fender for 31 Closed Cab Pickup. Don't need well for spare tire. Don't want fiberglas or fender in bad shape. Nice shiny black paint preferred - all ready to bolt on. Located in Lake Worth, Fl. Thanks.

I found this photo at an antique show today. First try at attaching a photo - hope it works.

Mine did that. Fixed it by adjusting brake rod return spring to give more return force.
