For anyone interested,,, Snyders has provided for me a floor mat for my 29 coupe that hasn't been trimmed, they special ordered it from the manufacturer. There are no holes cut and the outside edges haven't been trimmed. I have my install complete, have been driving it for a couple of weeks...

I was wondering if anyone has found a source for floor mats without the hales pre-punched. I have e-mailed Snyders to see if they could special order one for me.

Anyone have a photo of the throw-out return spring arrangement? The instructions I have say to hook it over the lower opening of the inspection hole. Seems that would be pulling it up as much as back. Anyone come up with a better arrangement? Oh and I do have an extra RTS transmission...

Is this car still for sale? If so what's the price?

How do you measure RPM while in motion, do you have a dash mounted tach. or some other way? If so what drives the tach.

Correction,,, actually the 91A7563 has the weights, the 8N or 9N 7563 do not. The 91A7563 is listed as a heavy duty replacement for these tractors.

The 26 it is. By the way, if anyone needs a V8 clutch, it's exactly the same as the one used in an older Ford tractor (8N, 9N, 600, and 800) The part numbers are 91A7563 pressure plate, 8N 7550 clutch plate, C5NN7600 pilot bearing and C0NN7580A T.O. bearing. These parts are readily available...

While on the subject of ratios, there are three overdrive ratios for the Ford transmission, 26.7%, 37.9% and 41.1%. I have a 26 and a 41, I think the 41 would be too high, so I'm probable going with the 26. Any opinions?

I don't have a car bell housing handy to measure but the AA truck housing is 5 3/8 inch overall length.

I have the short AA bell housing, although it's not yet installed, it looks like it will only require the pilot be shortened about a half inch.. This transmission has about i 3/16 inch pilot past the spline so I don't think any re-spline is needed. May need to just shorten the spline a little...

I started gathering parts for the 150 transmission install a while back. I now have a couple of RTS boxs, had a friend with a good machine shop shorten the mainshaft. I shortened the drive shaft and torque tube, today ordered a pair of rear radius rods to get ready to shorten. I also have the...

Thanks for the help,,,I think you have me straightened out now.

My engine is a Feb. 29, I have a couple of other covers (year unknown) that the return is higher, so they must be from a 28 or very early 29. I was cleaning up some parts for a rebuild and noticed this difference. Also there's a little difference in the timing cover, seems to be the location of...

I'm wondering if there's an advantage in using the later valve cover and tube with the return higher in the cover? More oil in the cover for better lube?

I know I once read it somewhere but can't find it now. Anyone know the proper center to center distance between the camshaft and crankshaft on a model A engine. I'm having my block align bored for insert bearings and want to have all the numbers handy for the machine shop. I don't want the gear...
