Greetings - hoping I can find answers to a couple questions... I have a '41 pickup that I've pieced together from swap meet parts. The chassis is from a '39 Sedan. I've driven it infrequently over the past few years as I work through updates and repairs. The alignment has always been a bit...

Pedal travel on my Tudor is getting to the point that it's probably time for some adjustment. I ordered the " brake buddy" tool from Mac's to make the job a little easier. I decided to give it a trial fit tonight and found it to be a bit too long at its shortest setting. The reference line is a...

I have seen quite a few driver quality A's running 16" '35 wheels with taller rear tire sizes. Has anyone tried a larger size tire on the original 19" wheels. If so, what size did you run? 700-19? 750-19? What is possible with the narrow rim width? Thanks!

If this has been covered here before, I couldnt find it. I have a set of '40 Ford 16" disk style wheels that I'd like to swap on my otherwise stock A from time to time. I know of the spacer issue when putting A wheels on '40 brakes, but I want to do the opposite. I've heard that there are...

I saw that C.W. Moss sells a radiator cap for the 30-31 A with part number A-8100-C on ebay for what seems to be a fair price. According to the packaging shown in the picture, this cap is manufactured by Vintique Inc. Anyone have any experience with the fit and finish of these caps? After my...

I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but here goes anyway: The other day I came across stainless 30-31 Model A repro radiator caps being sold on ebay by a place called Classic Auto Parts Group Inc. The picture in the description was fuzzy but the 'buy it now' price was under $10...

Can anyone please provide me with the outside diameter dimension of the inlet of a tillotson carb? What about a Zenith? Wanting to stop by the hardware store tonight and pick up some materials to adapt an air filter, but didnt have time to measure before leaving for work this morning. Thanks...

My 30 Tudor was missing the oil drain tube on the rear main, which I believe is the primary contributor to the large oil leaks out the bellhousing. Not only was the tube missing, but so was a small chunk of the main cap casting where the tube threads in. It appears that there should be a...

Does anyone have any pictures of A's with mismatched wheel sets? I am thinking of putting a pair of 6.50-16 Firestone knobbies on 35 wheels on the back of '30 Tudor but retaining the stock '30 19s on the front. I am wondering if the car will have an interesting "utilitarian look" to it or...

A previous owner of my 30 Tudor added a small copper line from the oil port in the side of the block to the timing pin hole in the front cover. I assume their intent was to provide additional oiling to the timing gears. However I have been told several times that this is unnecessary because a...
