Thanks for the info, guys. I think Snyder's will be the best bet for new ones. Tyler

A friend of mine is looking for hinges for his '31 closed cab pickup. He needs the top one on the drivers side and all of them on the pass. side. He say's he can't afford the ones in the cataloges and wants to know if there are any other options out there for him. Thanks guys...

Update; I must have flooded it yesterday. Only choked it a quarter pull this afternoon and it fired right up and ran great. Sorry to have wasted everyones time on this but I was sure it must have been something else. Live and learn, I guess. Thanks again everyone. Tyler

Sorry for not getting back sooner. To answer some of your questions; Had the car a couple years, never had problems starting. Must be something wrong with my flywheel, have tried several starters and they stick on and won't disengage and will suddenly engage while driving down the road, and...

1928 tudor, all original. Been running great all year, haven't driven in a couple weeks now. Wanted to move it yesterday and won't start. I have to hand crank this one. Got gas, got juice. Lights are bright. Took the distributor top off and turned the key on and got a spark at the points...

Thanks Brent. I figured that out about the time you posted your message and was just about to tell everyone to ignore my ignorant plea. I thank you again for the quick reply. Enlightened in N.Y.

Which way does the adjusting shaft face, longer, pointed end toward the outside or inside of car? Can't find a definitive picture anywhere. Thanks. Confused in N.Y.

O.K., what's the best way to check for a vacuum leak and where is the throttle plate shaft? I put all new manifolds and gaskets on the engine last summer, was very carefull to make sure everything snugged up several times after running the car some. Don't have a vacuume wiper so that's out...

I'll try all your suggestions in the morning and see what happens. I'll report back with my findings. Thanks again, guys. Tyler

Got my electrical problems fixed, buttoned everything back up and to my amazment, the car started. Thought I' let it run for a while as it hasn't been run all winter. Started it with the gav open a little less than three quarters turn, after it warmed up a bit, closed the gav to 1/4 turn, where...

Update; Thought I'd take a look this a.m. when I had a few moments to spare, figured I'd take Tom's advice and unhook the wires on the generator one at a time and see what that did. Looked at the car and then remembered Tom also mentioned the starter switch so I looked closely and saw that...

Thanks guys. Hopefully I can get a chance to work on it again later tomorrow and will let you know what I find. Tyler

Update: Checked for continuity and had juice going everywhere it should but I also get a reading when I test from the starter cable post to the steering colunm. That ain't right, is it? What would cause that. Also, headlights don't work since I "fixed" things, where they did before...

Hi Guys Stock system, pos. ground, generator. Sorry I didn't say that at the start. Mr. Colvin, thanks for taking the time to explain all that. Even I get it now, will purchase a multi-meter tomorrow and see how it goes. Was I correct in trying to find the problem by un-hooking things one...

Been working on my A to get it ready for the summer. Was running fine and everything was working until I fixed a few things, now it wants to spark when I go to hook up the ground cable, didn't do that before. I put in a repro switch to replace the repro switch that didn't fit behind my...
