Hi all, I recently recieved a phone call from family asking me if I wanted to purchase a coupe that has family history. I'm interested in it, since none of my cars have any family lineage, but the car has hydraulic brakes. My question is, assuming the set-up was done fairly well/is...

I was looking to get original top and bottom tanks for my 29 and ended up coming across a complete original 29 rad including the core. I've heard these are pretty inefficient at cooling and I live in Texas and drive my car quite a bit, year round. Does anyone have any experience running an...

I wondered if anyone has had the same experience as I have, I painted my Goodyear 21" tires and spare (Firestone) last thursday with one shot, and as of today the paint is still tacky on the tire. When driving everything stays put, but I'm wondering when the paint will dry, or if there is...

After looking at all of the fantastic pictures posted by others at French Lick, I'm noticing almost everyone's tires have some markings on them which are colored. I have right now 2 Goodyears and three firestones, soon to be 4 Goodyears. The Goodyears are the ones marked Goodyear balloon, from...

I picked one of these gauges up working for $6 along with the leather pouch, and a tire at 35 psi was reading 20 on the gauge, I oiled the numbered shaft and it read perfectly for a short while and I can only guess what was left of the gasket on the inside disintegrated from the oil after it...

I am going to install a Popout in the car, right now the ignition cable is an armored one, but doesn't have a clip secured to the stud. The stud the clip should go on is flush right now with the bolt, my question is wil there be any problem if the clip is added and the bolt can't lay flush over...

Looking for a complete and working Powerhouse generator & pulley, preferably 3-brush, but if you have a 5 brush I'd be interested as well. Thanks!

This is just something I've had on my mind, unless you don't lock your doors when you're out in your A, is there really a need for a master switch for the whole car? Don't get me wrong, there's one on my car, but it came that way to me from the last owner, if there's nothing drawing on the...

I have an older clymer book with some factory and early photos in the back, and looking through them nearly none of the cars have side view mirrors. Were they something that came about later? I know of some 60's-70's cars that would only have one side view mirror from the factory, but just...

I've had my A for about a year and a half now and it's been 12 volt with an alternator and electronic ignition and modern distributor from the previous owner. I have no problems with this setup, but I'd like to go to 6v, generator, etc. So does this list sound like a good starting point? I'm...

I had a rattle I've been trying to track down, and found it was the starter rod rattling because the cover and grommet were absent. My floorboard also has the metal plate and felt to cover the space by the pedals, and it looks like that plate will block the rod cover from being installed. Was...

I was about to go for a drive and checked oil and water, oil read just barely high on the stick but didn't really look right, I'm not sure you would call it milky, but I guess on its way there. Looking around the engine I see coolant where I took pictures. Does it look like there is coolant...

I installed the shocks I had Robert Paul rebuild, and wow! I can't get over how much better the car feels. I've been meaning to ask this here for awhile but hadn't taken a picture of it. What exactly is this? I mean what looks kind of like a long tube shock running from the axle to the...

I was searching around the forum for what would be the best way to do this, I'm replacing old bent brake rods with new ones and also will be installing shocks in the near future... Is just black rattle can paint best? Or use a frame paint? For things such as rods and arms, etc. Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm going to be putting side pans back on my tudor which must have been removed at some point after it was restored in the 80s because 4 of the 6 bolts are on the frame. I'm having a set of shocks found and rebuilt by Robert Paul; should be done within the month-ish as he has cores...

Two questions... 1. I just broke a headlight lens opening the headlight ring. The glass at the outside edge says 'Industria Argentina' I know Ford had a plant/compound there is this an original lens? If so I'll try to replace the lens I broke with an original. 2. I'm guessing the rubber...

Would you guys mind giving this a listen? I'm not sure if first and second are abnormally loud, and what steps should be taken if they are. Thanks! http://youtu.be/fET_fwNCKow

Hey everyone, I don't have much else besides remembering my uncle's A's from when I was little, but does first and second seem too loud? Third sounds right. Thanks in advance for your time! http://youtu.be/fET_fwNCKow

Hi all, I'm working through my wiring, I've had the Tudor since July and had lighting problems with it, while going through everything I kept finding things that had come up over the years (about a 30 year old frame off restoration) and hadn't been fixed completely right, upon getting most...
