Is it possible to change a crank pulley without pulling the engine?

I own a 29 Sport Coupe. I left the parking lights on overnight and the 6V battery went stone dead. I put a charger on it for 5 or 6 hours and charged it enough to start. The ammeter showed it was charging more than 20 amps and finally after several trips around town the reading went down to 10...

While reinstalling the shifting tower on my '30 Tudor I dropped a washer from one of the bolts into the transmission case. I drained the oil out of the case but I cannot see the washer or feel it. I have tried a flexible magnet but no luck. Anyone else made the same dumb mistake? Is there any...

Does anyone know if the fellow in North Carolina still does speedometer rebuilds? I used him several years ago and was happy with the work and quick turnaround. I can't find his name or phone number anywhere.

Finally got the 29 Sport Coupe running. It was something in the distributor. Very labor intensive (for Me anyway) but followed the step by step and finally chased it down. Thanks guys.

I have checked the continuity in all the wires. The safety fuse at the starter is not blown, the ignition switch is good. Rebuilt distributor, carb, alternator. New battery, Engine turns over well. Timing has been checked and rechecked but she won't fire. I have spent many hours with local Model...

My 29 Sport Coupe was running fine until it sat for a couple of months but now it is difficult to start and when it finally does it coughs and backfires and wants to stall until it warms up (about 10 minutes) then she runs fine. I have ruled out the distributor and timing, replaced the...

I recently bought a '29 Sport Coupe and am installing seat belts, a second tail light and turn signals on it. I bought all the parts from Brattons, proceeded with the installation per the instructions and schematic drawing. The tail lights work but the break light/turn signal lights will flash 4...

I had my steering assembly all apart and have it back together except for tghe spider and spring that is held in place with a small retainer. I have the tool to compress the spring and spider but cannot get the retainer on. Can one person do it or will I need to get wifey involved? That would...

My 1930 had a lot of play in the steering wheel--5-6 inches. I pulled the steering column assembly and took it to one of the local guru's who said he thought it could be adjusted back to within tolerances. I put it back together and it was much better at first but after a few hundred miles it is...

Flapper has been running like a dream lately with the exception of occasionally cutting out momentarily (a few seconds) and then catching again. I don't think it is the carburator as I had it rebuilt by a local pro and he fixed the idling problem that I had. Today I drained the fuel out and...

I need to replace the fan belt on my 30 tudor. The one I took off was too wide and got jammed between the pulley and the front axle u bolt. What part number should I look for?

Can any body help me with the overhead clearance I need to haul my Tudor in an enclosed trailer? What is the actual height of the car? thanks

I received an online quote to transport (open trailer) my 1930 tudor from Vero Beach, Fl. to Salem, Oregon for less than $1000. This is a distance of more than 3000 miles. It seems quite low to me--what say Fordbarners?

I am having my engine rebuilt and while I was at it I pulled the trans and stripped it down. It is toast. Mitchell only does synchronized transmissions. I have had good luck with Bratton's and Snyder's on other items and they do stock rebuilds. Anybody had any experience with buying a...

"Flapper" was running fine but I opted to install a "Zipper" distributor from FS. After some fumbling I got her running and went for a spin. She ran grate but I thought I would try to improve on "good enough". I set TDC with the timing pin and the rotor at #1 plug. She would not start. I looked...
