Looking for a V-126 distributor timing fixture. Thanks Wayne

I do not see any smoke out the exhaust. I do see a small drip on the transmission plug thought. No blow-by from the filler either. I thought I read somewhere that due to the splashing of the oil on the cyl. walls some oil is lost but can't find that info again. I think the advice here on the...

Maybe a little less.

Just interested in how much oil is used up in a decent engine? Lets say 65psig for compression in each cylinder and very few leaks. I know there are lots of variables. My engine has roughly 45,000 miles on it. I use a 1/2 quart in 200 miles. Wondering if that is normal? I don't hear any unusual...

Thanks to All for the good advice.

Did all Model As come with the pop out ignition switch or did they come with a turn key type with wires to the distributor? I realize the ignition wire is or should I say as I always see them exiting the junction box in armor...

Looking for an working electric wiper motor for a 1929 Model A Sports Coupe. Thanks Wayne

Looking for a working electric wiper motor for a late 29 sports coupe. Please state condition and if possible pics. Thanks Wayne

Al, I just went through this issue with my 1930. However, there was a paper published in the Restorers Journal addressing the issue. The author states the motor should be out of the car on an engine stand turned upside down with the crankshaft rear flange up. This eliminates the possibility...

Norm, Yes the seal is held in place behind the door panel with small head nails. However, looking at the picture dike36 sent, I do not see an h shaped seal. I wonder if the seal in the picture is the seal I need since what is left of the old seal had no h shape as well. Maybe I should no...

Hi Paul, I can not see any prongs. Looks like the old panel was tacked in along the bottom. I did pull back the bottom of the panel though. Actually had the old panel off to replace the window channels and did not see any provisions for prongs at the bottom. The gasket is h shaped and...

I got the parts from TAMS in MASS. I know there is something there because I pulled off some old rubber underneath the door panel at the bottom. Looks like I will have to play with it awhile.

I have read the posts on this subject here but have not read a detailed instruction on the bottom door seal for a 1930 fordor 170B. Never did this before. I have the "h" seal. how do I hang it and which way does the h go? I assume the h is down but how far below the inside door frame does it...

Don, Can you send me that article? I am not a member since I only acquired the car in last three months. Wayne

Keith, Just went out and got the frame out using a paint stick and rubber mallet. Gently taped the frame starting at the top and working around the sides. Did not bend anything. I then removed the door hardware and removed the panel. Once out I was able to get the old sashes out. I saved...
