Thanks Guys!

Hi; I have a tool trunk on the front of my 1930 model A. It covers the Engine Crank access. It seemed to me that I saw at one point an Engine Crank for timing that worked inside the engine compartment. It was an L shaped engine crank. Does anyone have any information on it or where they...

Hi. Called Tom Nelson. Great guy. Bought one from him. Thanks to everyone on this forum for your continued help.

I have a 1930 Town Sedan. I would like to mount a tool box on the front between the fenders. Is there anyone who makes them? I heard that Jim Huseby in Missouri makes them but don't know how to get a hold of him. Is there someone who has one that would fit my 1930 I could puchase? Any help...

Is this a Bumper Emblem? Any information would be appreciated. Mike

Hi; I bought a Marvel Carburetor from a guy in Texas a few years ago and can't find his contact information. Can anyone help? Mike

The speedometer and odometer in my 1930 Town Sedan are very accurate for the most part. I have noticed that when I am driving down the road over 50 MPH that, in some cases, the speedometer starts to swing back and forth from -5 to +5 MPH under and over the actual speed. It acts as though it is...

Hi; I called Nu-Rex and asked them about the draw. There is a draw on the alternators. There is always a small draw when the Battery is connected. 1 - 2 amps is not uncommon but they said it should not cause a significant voltage loss at the battery over time. Mike

I will do that. Thanks for the help. Mike

Thanks Brent. Yes, I have an alternator and I checked it. It shows a draw of .9 amps so I believe that would be the reason the battery draws down if I leave power to the system. I will just need to make sure I cut the power to the car when I shut it off for a period of time. Thanks, Mike

Hi; I have a 1930, 6 volt positive ground. If I leave the fuse in after shutting off the car, I am experiencing about .2 volt drop in voltage at the battery over about 6 hours. Is that normal? If not; Do I need to just start disconnecting wires from the horn, lights etc. to find the drain...

Thanks to all who replied to my post. My problem was two fold. I checked the Ohm reading across the Coil and it was only 1.0 Ohms. It should have been 1.5 Ohms for my 6 volt system. Also, the Manifold gasket had a small leak at the intake for Number 3 and 4 cylinders. I changed the coil and...

Hi; I have a 1930 town sedan running a touring motor built by Ron Kelly 3 years ago with a Snyder's high compression head. I am running a Model B Carb with a bored out Model A intake and it has run fine up to now. The car starts, idles and runs fine when cold. When the car warms up to temp...

Thanks for the information. I am running the higher impedance coil with the electronic ignition and also running a 6 volt positive ground system with a higher compression head. I just got this (new to me) Model A about a month ago. I was just running everything stock on my other Model A so I...

Hi; Just wondering if anyone has experimented with the spark plug gap using electronic ignition. Should it be .035?
