I’m struggling with this alignment business. Anyone have any helpful hints?

I’m having a senior moment. I can’t remember which direction to turn to loosen the water pump packing nut. :confused:Your assistance please.

Found in parking brake. About 2” square, firm business card thicknessif about 1/16” max.

The drain plug on my Zenith will not stop leaking. I've tried everything I can think of and can't stop that leak, even with two gaskets on the plug. I'm reluctant to tighten the plug too much because it's brass and the threads on both the plug and the carb body are very prone to stripping. I've...

Where can I find a chart that identifies the drill bit numbers that coincide with Model A Zenith-1 carburetor jets?

My coupe is pulling slightly to the left when braking. I’m 78 and losing my memory and I can’t remember which way to turn the adjustments to correct that. Please advise this old guy. :(

‘A’ parts dealer catalogs I find the Brattons, Snyders, and Berts online catalogs very hard to search through on my iPad. For example: Bratton’s won’t allow a full part description-it stops accepting a typed line at 3-5 characters; Snyders has way too many options to dig through and isn’t Apple...

A new heat record for P-town: 108 degrees. My Model A’s overheated just sitting in the garage! The A’s will remain in the garage till this heat subsides. I, on the other hand, cooled off with a G&T. But that won’t work in my A’s. Whaddayou guys in really hot areas do? Like Phoenix? Texas? Nevada?

I bought my ‘29 Tudor on July 1, 1961. I call myself the second owner because the man who sold it to me bought it from the orig. owner but only owned it for two weeks before I talked him out of it. As I cleaned it up I noticed the wheel color was not black, but actually a deep blue-green. At...

After a year of covid shutdowns it will be interesting to see what shows up at the swap meets that decide to run this year. As I’m sure others have experienced, this lost year has resulted in some re-examination of life’s plans and priorities, especially for us guys in our 70s +. For me, it is...

The value of a Model A is often discussed here, but of late I have noticed there are more cars of fair to excellent quality showing up for prices that are very tempting relative to five or even three years ago. I attribute this in part to people aging out of the hobby, and perhaps a willingness...

I took a warranteed group 1 6v battery into my local battery shop for an exchange credit against a new one. I’ve been buying my Model A batteries from this shop for several years because 1) Ken always has one in stock. 2) His price is very fair. and 3) He’s very knowledgeable about auto...

I just added a RH tail light to my sedan. It’s been 40 years since I last installed a tail light, and I can’t remember how they are grounded! Please advise. :confused:

A man asked me this today when I took my Coupe to the grocery store, and it is not a common question, at least for me, when I’m out in my A. It took a moment to form a coherent reason, but it enlivened the conversation with the stranger. How about you? Why do you own a Model A?

A 1930 standard coupe, tan, black fenders, orange wheels, new top, dual taillights, rumble seat, incorrect horn, Oregon Historic plate, # 4-236 showed up parked askew around the corner from my house today, and is still there this evening. This is suspicious to me. The car is in nice shape. This...

I am seeking an original RH tail light bracket. There might be one available for purchase in Australia. Let me know! :)

It’s getting harder to drive my A Wife and I took a picnic drive to the country today, about 40 miles RT. In my younger days this would have presented no adverse effects. Now, however, as I approach 76, those forty miles were seriously uncomfortable. We came home pooped! It gave credence to the...

I am going to add a RH taillight to my 1929 Tudor. Can someone please give me the correct diameter of the hole in the fender for the wiring? Also, if someone has a locator pattern for correct positioning, I could use that too. Thanks.

I’ve always been a Model A guy, but this is tempting. The seller says it’s all original, 90% complete, and was running when parked. Been in the family since new. It looks a little rough, but good unrestored T’s are getting hard to find. He’s only asking $1500. What do you guys think?

I got a call last week from a company that wanted to sell me an extended warranty on my automobile. Just for fun I let her go through her 5 minute introductory pitch on the benefits of their policies. When she got into asking the details of my car, I said it was a Ford 2 door sedan. “And what...
