I have a 56 Victoria. The door button rod will sometimes ride up over the actuator lever if pushed in too far and gets stuck in place. I need to remove the outside handle to see what's going on. Any tips for the removal process?

Need a source for a power steering control valve overhaul kit for my 56 Victoria.

Does anyone know where I can find a snap gap tool for setting the points on a 312?

We are looking to be buy a 56 T-Bird. I have read that all 56’s came with the removeable hardtop standard and that the retractable soft top was an option. Is this correct. Sounds backwards to me but we’re just learning.

Is the throttle linkage bellcrank the same for both automatic and standard transmission cars? Sounds like a silly question I know but I have a 56 Victoria that originally came with a 292 and automatic and now has a 312 standard with overdrive. When the gas pedal is depressed the carburetor arm...

I recently purchased a 56 Victoria that has the weakest wiper arms I've ever seen. I can't seem to find a source for replacement wiper arm springs. They are easy enough to change but the ones on the car barely hold the wiper arm against the windshield.

I just bought a 56 2dr Victoria. Working through a few gremlins here and there. One is a noisy speedometer. The unit works but the needle dances a little with a very noticeable noise coming from the panel. What's the best product to use to quiet the cable? Back in the Dark Ages I seem to recall...

Can someone direct me to a source for decoding the info shown on a 56 Data plate. We are starting our search for a 56 Failane Victoria and would like to be able to read the Data Plate with some modicum of intelligence.

Would someone point me to the proper resource to determine what the correct interior color(s) would be for my 1929 Closed Cab Pickup? The interior is currently black vinyl seats and trim. Thanks, Rich Largent

Continuing my search for an original 56 Fairlane Victoria. Found one recently listed to have the Thunderbird 312 in it. Would like to know if anyone can tell me if in 1956 you could get a car so equipped. My research seems to indicate they were only available in the Crown Victorias.

We are looking to buy a 56 Victoria. Saw one today online that indicated by its Data Plate it was manufactured in Dearborn. The write up for the car says it is a great New Mexico car. The car is in Virginia. What really simple thing am I not understanding?

First time in this forum. Have spent most of my previous "question asking" in the Model A forum. We're looking to buy a 56 Fairlane Victoria. Have been doing some research on Data Plate information but have not found a definitive description of where to find it on the car. Can someone point me...

I would like to take the switch assembly off the steering column on my 29CCPU to examine how it is wired. Currently, no matter what light position I select, park, low or high, everything comes on. From a Les Andrews schematic I can see how to correct this but I'm hesitant to remove the thing...

Could someone direct me on how to bench test a cutout? When I bought my car the generator did not appear to be working which was not an immediate issue as I planned to install an alternator anyway. That went well and the car is fine. Now I'm looking to examining the generator and initial tests...

Is there a "favorite" process folks use to flush and clean radiators? Are commercially available chemical flushes okay or should I employ less invasive methods? My 29 CCPU sat for nearly two years prior to my purchasing it. I can see a fair amount of rusty sludge around the radiator cap. When...

My 29 closed Cab Pickup was restored about ten years ago. I bought it three months ago. From all that I can see the truck was "done" right as it is clean as a whistle, top to bottom. Folks in the local Model A Club knew the former owner very well as well as the truck. They all have related to me...

The packing nut on my water pump shaft keeps magically loosening allowing for leaks. Is this to be expected, thus a "pre or post drive" checklist item? I've thought of safety wiring it but thought seeking the wisdom of you folks first might provide the real solution and or culprit.

My A is a 1929 Closed Cab Pickup. I live in Virginia. I've learned that finding 29 tags for Virginia is like finding hens teeth. Would like to know if folks can suggest a research path that might provide the best chance at success.

How much "play" (if any) should be expected or is acceptable in the steering wheel. If I move my steering wheel slowly left and right observing the "slop", measured at the wheel rim the wheel travels free about one inch.

I'm the fellow who posted "mine won't start either" and thanks to so many of you taking the time to counsel this newbie Model A'r I got her running today. Seems as though it was gas problem and possibly fuel/air thing as it took flooring the accelerator to get it to light. Once lit it runs quite...
