Hello fellow Model A enthusiasts, I am replacing the top wood on my '31 Closed Cab Pickup and have a question regarding the rear wood header. I picked up the wood kit at Hershey several years ago, & I'm just getting around to installing it. The new rear header has a groove cut into the top of...

I'm trying to isolate a noise that appears to be coming from my torque tube. I used a stethoscope and found the noise seems to be louder near the driveshaft bearing area of the torque tube. I removed the rear end, then the torque tube, and examined the bearing and race. Nothing jumped out at...

Is this baffle in my transmission installed correctly?

I purchased a used running '31 engine with low miles. Upon inspection I found it to be in very good shape. However the main bearing oil groove for the rear bearing has an additional groove cut in the center leading rearward. Other than that the bearing is in great shape. Has anyone had any...

I have a stock engine that I rebuilt using a Bill Stipe camshaft and a Dan McEachern aluminum timing gear with matched drive gear. In addition, the thrust plunger and spring are new. I get an erratic rattling noise that appears to emanate from the upper end of the engine. I've used several...

I have a B distributor and upon inspection I noticed that when I move the centrifugal weights out from their home position, one weight is stopped short by the spring holder and cannot hit the inside of the distributor housing, while the other weight does not hit it's spring holder and can swing...

I purchased this generator with the intentions of rebuilding it and installing it in my '29 Town Sedan. I believe it is a B-10000, circa 1933, used by Ford to replace Model A generators in the later years. The rear end plate has ventilation holes. The front plate has been identified on the...

With all the talk about the new defective rear hub wheel bearings out there (see my previous posts), I have been carefully studying the original Ford A-1225 bearings, where the cylinders are hollow and have spirals cut into them, and the B-1225-A later ones, and the crappy new ones, some with...

Hi, I could use some help with the fastening of the front portion of my wiring harness. I know the rear harness gets fastened to the left frame rail rear of the motor mount with three clips. Are there any clips used to fasten the harness that runs forward of the left motor mount. The only...

Good day to everyone. Approximately 500 miles ago I installed new rear drums, bearings, seals, shoes and brake hardware. I packed the bearings with Pennzoil Premium Red Wheel Grease. Today I performed an inspection and found the grease is a caked up, silver gray mess (looks like "Never-Seez")...

I'm replacing a drive shaft. Tom Endy's article mentions that the drive shaft key is A-4606 and it is different from the rear axle keys which are A-4243. Snyders's sells the drive shaft key as A-4243 and the rear axle keys as a pair A-4243-A. I ordered A-4243 from Snyders and received one key...

I have posted previously about the T5 transmission swap I performed on my Model A, and I mentioned I was was quite satisfied. I have put about 1,200 miles on the car since the swap and have driven the car 55- 60 mph several times with no problems. My feelings changed this past weekend when...

I installed a T5 transmission from a 1987 Chevy S10 in my Town Sedan. Overall I'm quite happy with it. However, 1st is very low. In fact I feel all the gears might benefit from a better rear end gear ratio but I'm not sure what gears would be best. I currently have a the stock 3.78 gears. I...

Hi, this is Phil from Staten Island, NY and this is my first post on this board. I have a 1929 Briggs Town Sedan and I'm going over the entire brake system. I have a question concerning lubrication of the components under the brake drum: rollers, pins, wedges, adjusting shafts, etc. I have...
