Overlooked answering the questions about what plugs I used: The ones I removed were Champion C-4. Checked replacing those with the same thing, however when I checked the price with one of the Model A suppliers they are $37.00 each. Went to a local NAPA dealer and bought Champion 561 plugs...

Thanks for all the good answers. Sure do appreciate your comments. First thing I'll do is re-set the mixture control to almost closed---runs great like that. Thanks again.

Just changed plugs. I had been running way too rich and the old plugs were really fouled. Test drove the car a few miles and ran so much better with new/clean plugs. I turned the mixture control all the way (clockwise) lean to get the starting point to set the mixture about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4...

Can't tell for sure---from the bottom. The float adjustment makes sense. I'm guessing that the float is too high?

On our 1930 Model A yesterday I noticed that when the car is parked in the driveway with the front higher than the rear the carb has a drip. When parked on a level service it doesn't drip at all. Do I need to remove the carb and put in a new gasket set or what? Thanks

Thanks, I will get with them on Monday. I appreciate your suggestion.

I have a 1955 Ford Fairlane Victoria and would like to replace the vacuum wiper motor with an electric motor, 12 volt. Will a '56 wiper motor work? Is the location of the original radio a problem? Suggestions on source and price please. Thanks

After driving around town couple of days ago when I pulled away from a stop sign I heard a whir in the transmission. Didn't feel anything going on but that was a new sound. Checked the transmission fluid level, at idle, and the level was up to the full level. Didn't notice any bubbles but I...

After driving around town couple of days ago I noticed when I was pulling away from a stop sign that the transmission has a whir sound. (probably spelled that wrong). The transmission seemed to work fine but I'm wondering if that is telling me there is a problem---hasn't done that before. I'd...

Thanks Paul. Do you have contact information on them? I may want to do the same thing.

Finally decided to part with Charlie, our 1915 Model T Touring. The car is in great running shape. Starts and runs on magneto very well. The car is stock, however there is a starter. I usually crank the car because people like to watch that being done. The engine casting date: 2-8-15. I...

Thanks Alan: That sounds likely and will be an easier fix than pulling the ******.

Thanks, found what I needed. Set of 1955 hood bumpers. Thanks

Sorry, but we haven't had this Victoria very long and I keep coming up with questions. Anyway, the clock in the dash looks good and when winding it up it sounds good. However, it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Does it need cleaning, and if so, who does that? Thanks again.

Regarding our '55 Victoria, I have a "part name" question. One side of the hood sits just a tad lower than the other. There are two, I call them "bumpers", that are used to adjust the hood height, but I don't know the part name for them. I'd like to order new ones. My questions: 1. what are...
