I took "Miss Tillie" out the other day and lo & behold, the radiator cap is leaking again. I used a new Rubber O-Ring last summer and also used a brass Gasket (from the Gas Gauge, I think) and that solved the problem last summer. Is this something that has to be replaced every season, or do I...

This was the only way I could achieve this rank. I made some Magnetic Signs for "Miss Tillie" and will use them in parades and shows only, as they can scratch the finish if left on for any time. It is also a good idea to wax the back of the magnetic material and ALWAYS clean the door first. I...

I was recently offered an old Bulk Oil Dispenser, the kind where you crank the handle and it dispenses one quart of oil. Gonna pick it up tomorrow.:) I'd like to know, since I plan to restore it, what color to paint it and what brand logo would be most recognizable? I know I can purchase most...

I just read 'mrraford's' post concerning the difference in mufflers. Brought to mind the fact that I am always bothered by the loud sound of my late model "cheapo" muffler when I first start it. Once we're on the road, she purrs like a kitten. Just wondering if I'm missing somthin' here...

ARGH-H-H.... When I connected my Emergency Brake (finally) and took my Coupe for a 60 mile drive, I noticed that when I pulled back into my shop and pushed the clutch in, she came to a stop without rolling like it used to. So I removed the clevis pins on the emergency brake rods and the tried to...

I had problems with the Zenith Carb on my '30 coupe from Day One. So my brother had an old Tillotson that I then installed. No problem, has been running great. Well, except for those gas fumes that my wife complains about everytime she gets in the car. (there have been suggestions to leave her...

I know this is normal but I don't understand it. Maybe some of you x-perts can explain this to me. When I first start and drive Miss Tillie, the Oil Gauge reads about 5+ pounds of pressure. As I continue to drive, the pressure drops to about 3 lbs. Why is this....?????

I have an old buddy of mine who I ran around with in HS. He told me he has a pair of rear fenders in his barn loft for a 30-31 Coupe/Pick-up. They are originals and in good shape and if anyone is interested I will talk to him about selling them. I know he would like to clean them out of his barn...

Does anyone know how many or brands of after-market Spot Light makers there were back in the 30's? The post mounted types.... 6 volt....??

I ran into an old buddy from High School (I didn't even know back then that we'd live this long) the other day and he has a pair of original Model A rear fenders, tail light holes in the left only. He is questioning whether there's a difference in the 30 or 31? I told him I wasn't sure but I...

I was just wondering how many of you would be going to the Perrysburg, Ohio MARC National Membership Meet April 12-15. I hope to meet some Ford Barners there.:):D:o It'll be the first Model A gathering that my wife and I will be able to attend in the Coupe. It's being held at the Hilton Garden...

I'm talking about the Ages of the "regular drivers" of Model A's. Often the car iself is referred to as a "driver", but since I joined this site, I have come to realize just how young I am compared to some of the regular operators of these Model A's. And I was born in the 30's. About a year...

Over the couple of years that I've been a member on this site, I've begun to realize that many of you own SEVERAL MODEL A's. I have ONLY ONE. It's made me wonder how many others ONLY OWN ONE Model A. So this is my Question; How many of you Only Own One ???? :confused:

I am looking to airbrush the profile of a Handsome Victorian Lady's face on two magnetic panels so I can use them on the doors of my "Miss Tillie" in Parades, Car Shows and such. I'd like a profile view with the lady wearing a fancy hat or something fancy in her hair. She will then be...

After reading another post concerning cold weather driving and the inter Front unit, it mad me think,,,,what is considered to be ideal Temperature Range for the stock Model A? Between what and what..? I also run a 160 thermostat. I've driven it in the well below freezing range outdoors and it...

After reading the entries concerning Oil Filtered vs. Non-Oil Filtered, I am curious as to what kind of Mileage can you get on a Rebuilt Model A Engine without a Filter..? I know there are a lot of variables, is there an overall consensus ? :confused:

Yep, I got a pair of Original Carnival Glass Bud Vases from one of my sons. Always said I got some "good" boys.................:D

I installed a rebuilt Trico Vacuum wiper on my '30 coupe and I ran a rubber vacuum hose from the passenger side of the windshield to the motor. The wiper runs "real slow". I was wondering if I should have run a metal line from the passenger side to the motor..? Seems that I ordered and...

Being new to the Model A hobby I've noticed that the fellas who show off the Model A's rarely have a display around them. :( Having started showing custom cars back in the late 50's I always had some sort of Display relating to my car. In fact sometimes I created custom displays for other cars...

I was just wondering (thinkin') how many Model A owners take their Model A's out for a drive on Thanksgiving and/or Christmas..? I want to do both (weather permitting, no salt). Like I said, just a thought. BTW, Happy Thanksgiving to All....
