On my '30 Coupe, it goes from the wiper motor into the channel above the windshield and down the front post behind the cowl of the passenger side door and meets with a metal tubing which is connected to the manifold

Thank you all for your postings. I’m gonna try it again today using some of your suggestions (suppose to be another hot day). I too feel it’s a fuel delivery problem on hot days, as I don’t have this problem in cooler weather. I even thought about maybe trying to insulate the fuel line somehow...

I have put fresh fuel in since the winter. Most recently about a month ago. It probably still had some old winter gas in it, but very little. I have driven it quite a bit since spring with no problems. Just started happening when the weather got hotter and I leave it out in the hot sun. Maybe...

I know this probably has to be a fuel related problem because of the ease of it starting back up with no problems. You mentioned a “heat soak” as a possibility. Is that the same as vapor lock? I had an old VW beetle years ago that did something similar. I was told then that “vapor lock” was a...

Just fired it up (3:50pm) started right up, ran great! Put her back in the cool garage. I have no clue why it does that. It’s happened to me all summer!

I’ll usually let it sit a couple hours and It’ll fire back up. It happened today around 1:00pm. It’s still sitting in my yard in the heat and sun (3:45pm). I tried it around 2:30 and it done the same. I’m actually going to try it right now

Thanks Hammer for your response. I have done the exact same steps you mentioned, however it cranks, will fire, and then quits as if it’s not getting fuel

I have a very odd thing going on with my A and hope someone here could help. I have a 1930 Coupe, rebuilt the carb about a year and half ago. Starts and runs great, I can drive it for hours with no problems. If I shut it off and leave it outside (it's been extremely hot and humid here)in the hot...

I used one also. Returned the pedal great, but I found that actually fixing the problem worked great as well. Replaced bushings in brake and clutch pedals, new brake rods and anti-rattlers. inexpensive fixes that eliminated the need for the return spring

I was a firefighter for nearly 40 yrs. One of the worst injuries I ever saw was someone working on a (removed) gas tank from a '67 Corvette. It's not the liquid that ignites but the fumes. I'm like an earlier poster, I wouldn't even let anyone smoke near it! You never know, you could have an...

I don't really have any suggestion other than removing the tank and have it repaired or replaced. I'm very scary when it comes to gasoline leaks. Too much could go wrong. Maybe someone on here with a little more knowledge than me could give you better advice. I'm just really careful with...

I recently put tube shocks on my 30 Coupe. It only had the original two up front, but they leaked fluid and never worked. I purchased my tube shock kit from Snyders and was completely amazed and satisfied with the ride and handling. Mine aren't really that stiff but the handling of the car seems...

This is what my water pump looks like. Any suggestions as to what kind it is? It looks nothing like others I have seen. Seems to work fine though. I have been told it's an industrial pump or one from a tractor [ATTACH]452939[[ATTACH]

Thank You SO much! Exactly what I was looking for ��

Could someone please furnish me with a diagram or picture of the correct installation of door check bumpers and pads for a '30 closed cab coupe please? Doesn't show anything in the Les Andrews book.
