I am helping a friend that has a strange ignition problem. The timing is correct. The point gap, plug gap, and rotor to body gaps are all fine. The engine runs great when the spark is advanced about half way down. When you retard the spark, we lose spark on plug 3. We have one of the clear...

Well my dream of making a C-Cab delivery is finally in the works. I have had a lot of fun steam bending the wood pieces. I have no plans or prints to go by so I am scaling from some good pictures. My question is does anyone know where I can find the back door hardware like in the attached...

I had my engine out to get the main shims adjusted. I have the engine back in and went to check the timing. The timing pin bounces out about 1/4" at the exact same spot in the rotation. I also can feel the indent for the timing mark. I took off the side timing gear cover and noticed the...

Several members of our club got back yesterday from a 1300 mile roundtrip to the Gilmore Museum. The whole trip was awesome and included a few days up in Mackinaw City. We only had a couple minor issues. One was a inner tube failure but the other one was an issue with my brake switch on my 30...

We came back yesterday from a wonderful car show through a very strong wind and rain storm. Something hit the top of our car and broke one of the wood bows. The roof then started to leak badly. When I got home I started a fan and dehumidifier in the car and pulled out the seats also to check how...

I am making some progress on my C-Cab Model A project and have come up with a problem I am hoping someone can solve. I am fitting the fenders, cowl, and hood and noticed the cowl is hitting the gas pedal bracket. I can't move the cowl forward enough to get a good hood alignment because it is...

I am starting to put the pieces together for my Model A C-Cab delivery. My question is: Should the radiator perpendicular to the frame for proper hood alignment? I would think this is where the proper alignment of the hood to the cowl starts. If I put a long straightedge on the frame, will...

Does anyone know FordBarn member LukeDahlinger aka Richard Snell of Lakeland Florida? I sent him a check for a 1930 dash rail over two months ago. After numerous phone calls and PMs to him, I still haven't received the dash rail. I hate to think that a member of this forum is either very ill...

I might have a chance to get a true NOS Tillotson X carburetor coming up at an auction. It is still in the box and has the paperwork inside also. The box is marked 6.86 I wonder if that was the original price. What is a fair price for one of these? Would any of you use this on a car or just...
