Hi everyone. For about two or three years now, I've been having a problem where the clutch doesn't seem to be disengaging properly. I can't shift gears smoothly anymore. Every time I try to shift at a stoplight, it makes a loud noise, and people are giving me strange looks. It's just not fun...

Hi guys, my A is giving me some problems. It's consuming too much and backfiring on coasting/decelerating. What has been checked so far... A pressure drop test was done which showed no problems. Inlet valves, outlet valves, piston rings were tight. The engine got a new head gasket. A visual...

As I wrote here... recently, it destroyed my head gasket. It burned out between cylinders 3 and 4. After some research, I decided to use a modern head gasket with a silicone insert. Unfortunately, that was an absolute mistake, because the silicone insert in the area between cylinders 2 and 3...

A long time ago I found a shop on the Internet that offered rebuild kits with flow-tested jets for Zenith carburetors. Unfortunately, I can't remember where that was... At first I thought it was Renners, but I can't find anything of the sort. Does anyone know where I can get these checked...

Hi folks... yesterday I took off my cylinder head because the head gasket was burned... Of course I broke off the base of the ignition distributor... Ordered some new parts today and looked at the engine again and found that the cylinder walls are almost mirror clean!!! The engine...

Hi folks... the head gasket between cylinders 3 and 4 on my Model A has blown. The old trouble. Now I would like to know which new head gasket I should use? There are copper seals, graphite seals with steel inserts or modern composite seals. What would you use for an untuned stock engine? Then...

Hello guys, I have a new question. My Ford runs well, starts well, but runs way too rich! The consumption is 18L/100km. My uncle also drives Model A, which consumes between 8L and 10L/100km. Well, the consumption always depends on the driving style, but I think 18L is clearly too much. It...

Hi guys, one question. Is there still a trailer hitch somewhere for mounting on the cross member of the frame? I would not get a trailer hitch for mounting on the bumper holders here in Germany. Are there any old stocks or repro parts? Another question is how much towing capacity the...

Hi folks, can someone tell me what part number the missing bolt is and what thread size it is? I'll have to see if I can find something similar here in Germany. Greetings from Berlin Andy

Hey guys, I'm in the process of developing an air vent for my Tudor using 3D printing, which blows the air from the heater fan onto the windscreen from the inside. This should be covered by the dashboard, but also takes up the entire space behind it. However, it is then no longer possible for me...

Hey guys, I'm thinking again. I am considering retrofitting an oil filter to my Model A. However, I'm still pondering on what principle. There are off-line filters and full-flow filters. With the off-line filter system, the oil can continue to get to all bearings if the filter is "clogged"...

Hi guys, a quick question... The season is about to start again and one of my front spring shackles won't lubricate anymore. The fat is hard. Now I want to take it apart and clean it. Do I need a spring compressor for this, or can I get them out and put them back in? Greetings from Berlin

Hi folks, we are currently looking at the bug. It's about a Tudor with a 4Banger, where the engine doesn't pull properly. There is a lack of power, so that the car can only drive 70/80 km / h. Far too little! What has been done so far: We found sand in the tank. I have no idea how it got...

Hi folks, I had a very strange problem with my Tudor today. Last weekend I drove a good 100km to a classic car meeting, everything was good there. Today I get the car out of the garage, I only want to drive about 10km, suddenly the left rear wheel blocked 3 times in a left turn ?! Once in the...

Hi guys, greetings from Berlin. Today I was close to a classic car show with my 1930 Tudor. The weather was great, beautiful cars could be seen ... including a 1930 Fordor. And when I was walking around the car, I was amazed to find that it had a window slot seal in the form of a rubber lip...

Hi Guys. A quick question. Can someone explain to me or give me a tip how the emergancy brake spring can be tensioned? I've repaired the entire rear brake and overhauled parts, and I'm currently in the process of rebuilding the parts on the car. Backing plates and brake shoes are built in...

Hi guys, a quick question. The thread of my left rear axle shaft is in very poor condition. It definitely needs to be fixed. Can I get the axle shaft pulled out WITHOUT disassembling the differential? If so, I'd have material welded on, turned over on the lathe, and cut a new thread. If...

Hi guys... What many of you probably did not know up to now also surprised me a little today. Namely the fact that here in Germany Ford Model A / B engines were used in rail vehicles. In the "Wismar Schienenbus", built from 1932 onwards (T41), two of these motors were installed to move the...

Hi Guys. I have to go to the Tüv (technical inspection) soon, and I have to do some repairs on the rear brake. Unfortunately, when the brake was dismantled, it became apparent that the last maintenance was probably 20 years ago. Actually, I only wanted to exchange the brass sleeves for the...

Hello guys, happy easter again ... Can someone tell me the dimensions of the nut? I need the wrench size and the height of the screw head with the ratchet claws. I want to build a cap for a measuring device. Greetings from Berlin Andy
