I had a slight leak at the radiator neck which dripped down the inlet neck and would like to know if there's a way I can get rid of the stain without damage to the nice Ford Green which the rebuilder put during the rebuild. Thanks for your help. Indy A

Friends: Installed a rebuilt carb in my'29 coup; tightened the hex compression nut (new ferrule) down to two threads showing and get a very small leak (about a teaspoon every 24 hrs). Am afraid to tighten the compression nut further for fear of stripping the carb threads. Snyders sells an...

Bought a rebuilt Zenith carburetor 4 yrs ago which until recently worked well. Usually when I park my '29 coupe I turn the brass valve off in the cab so that the float bowl is empty. A week ago I didn't follow this routine and noticed that gas was coming out the rear opening so I ordered a...

Friends.. Watched two YouTube videos on rebuilding Model A Distributors... removing the old bushings is simple ........neither gives much information on the Installation process for the new replacements. One mentions using a vice but that's about all that was said or shown. I have...

Friends... I need your collective wisdom on wiper motors for my '29 coupe. The existing electrical unit died (probably a J.C. Whitney special) and I'd like to replace this with either and electrical or vacuum driven unit. Here's what i need: An interior mounted unit which uses the existing...

Need some help !!! (1) How far down do I have to drain the tank (from full) so that I can safely open the glass retainer nut ? (2) can I replace the gaskets on lens without removing the large brass hex nut? Thanks in Advance... Indy A

I removed the three clips on my right/side headlight ( '29 Special Edition) to correct a slight mis-alignment from perfect vertical. For the past hour and at the loss of three finger nails, I cannot install even the first clip. Have you used special tools ?? I used small needle-nose...

Just did a 1,000 mile compression check on my rebuilt engine... all cylinders were 70#....Which I believe is "good"... the spark plugs hall had a thin film of carbon on them, though the very tip of the electrode had grey-white ash (Hopefully my photos get attached?) .... does this sound...

Discovered when installing LED headlights that my single tail light ('29 coup) would not light. Checked the bulb filament -good; checked the bullet connection under the back Left fender- good. Took of the bail off the steering-column-end switch (on of Henry's poorest inventions!) to try to...

Someone in the recent past answer my question, but I can't find it now..... I've ordered LED Lights for my generator-powered '29 coup from Logo Lites. My headlight circuits were "converted" to wire-nuts years ago and I've never known with the filament bulbs whether my headlights were on "dim"...

I've noticed a small amount of play (like a rocking motion) in my '29 coupe steering wheel... I don't think this a problem with the steering gear but may mean the hex nut anchoring the steering wheel to the shaft (this is 1930 2-tooth system with the oil retainer tube installed) might be...

Friends.. I'm trying to separate the drag link from the Pitman Arm in my '29 coupe. Les Andrews says "turn the steering wheel slightly to the left.." doesn't help.... I've tried hammering at the drag link end but don't want to distort the thing.... Any Suggestions would be greatly...

About a year ago, I built a box to sit on sawhorses to hold my '29 motor while I did the dreaded "Flywheel Housing Variation Test".... That was successful.. and I need the storage space for other things. If anyone would like to have this in their "tool inventory" I'd be glad to ship it to you...

I'm trying to help a friend "reassemble" his Dad's '31 Murray sedan. The motor has been out of the car for years. He has reinstalled the engine and took the time to put a new timing gear in it. Yesterday, on the first attempt (in years) to start the engine... it fired right-off but with a...

While trying to isolate a motor problem in my '29 coupe, I dug into a box of parts that came with the car to get another coil to install... It was marked "12V"... put it on. Later resolved the problem (not the coil) ... Question.. can I keep this one on the car even though the car has the...

Need some advice from the experts !!!.... My 29 coupe went flawlessly 5 miles two days ago. Started it in the garage today and it would run for 10-15 seconds then die. Did that 10 times. Checked the timing -that's OK; put in another coil --- same dying problem. Noted the amp meter does not go...

I lost the cork on my gas gauge (with all most a full tank of fuel)...how far down do I have to drop the gas level before I can remove the dash board gauge ?? Many thanks.. Indy A

I have an old Tachometer (actually also measured dwell & point resistance) that I used on a Negative ground, V-8 auto...has two alligator clips; one red the other black and has analog scale for 6 cylinder & 8 cylinder readings. Can I use this on my '29 A and divide the 8 cylinder reading by 2...
