Does anyone know of a 126 for sale, or if someone in New England (Western Mass) has one that they would set my timing with? I have the car to where it will run, but I would like it to run better. Is there any alternative to the 126? I used the ruler method to get me to where I am now. What is...

Greetings. I have a 34 V8 with the water pumps located at the front of the head. I can lose half gallon in 10 miles. I have checked the overflow, and it is not overwhelming the radiator. I have used dye, removed the plugs, and pressurized the cooling system, with no leak. I did that for more...

WOW What a Price !!! Those of you who follow this (and other) sites know that I always suggest Les Andrews Mechanics Handbook. I have had my Model A since 1975, and I think these books are great. Today I checked the price MARC --- $35.00 Amazon -- $64.84 This is unbelievable...

I am considering a vintage Model A speedster . 1) does anyone have any information on available disk wheels for a Model A 2) I have written a custom wheel shop about producing them. Is anyone else interested? If we get more, we get a better price. 3) I have emailed a few, but does...

These clear distributor caps come up for sale every once in awhile on eBay. Those are original Ford marked, and I have bid to $100 and lost each one as the price soars past reasonable logic. Now they are reproduced (saving me $90). I know they are not for fine point. But for a reproduction of...

I have searched the past threads, and do not find much on this topic. I tried all the key words I could think of. I have been in this now 40 years. I know some members are very passionate on this topic. I don't want to offend anyone. I am thinking purely for the future of the hobby, not the...

Is the cut out (above the generator) on a 34 V8 the same as Model A? Are they be interchangeable ?

Has anyone seen this aftermarket (?) piece of trim? It was used on a club members car. It fit perfectly just above the fuel tank rim, ending about 2 inches above the seam. Or was this a standard trim for one model? It is solid and tapers to a nice rounded end on both sides. I have never see one...

Does anyone know the corect color wire for the generator outlet and generator ground wire for a 34 V8? Thank you Craig

Thank you to all of you who assisted in my problem. UPDATE ! Even though I did an email order for a 6v +g rebuild & I send an printed out order form for a 6v +g rebuild & I sent a letter with the unit 6v +g rebuild & They called me to confirm 6v +g rebuild & They marked the unit 6v +g rebuild...

Greetings. I am normally a Model A guy, but recently purchased a 34 V8. The car has been in storage for many years, but is in outstanding condition with 46,000 original miles. I tested things out and found my output from my generator was quite weak. I sent it to a shop in California for a $$...

I see several threads regarding head gaskets. When people identify water contamination in the oil, some say the dipstick shows full to the top, and they drain water, antifreeze out of the crankcase. Many people respond by instructing them to re-torque the head. This is a concern to me. My...

Does anyone have ideas on a generator putting out 2 volts? Currently I have: Checked the wiring multimeter the output Adjusted the 3rd arm verified Ameter New battery checked the belt I'm going to place the armature on a growler Or what company sells the best rebuild kit?

I have tested and evaluated every piece of my generator. It was professionally rebuilt. I have had my local shop test it, the armature has been on the growler, all the wiring is correct. They tell me they have no idea why it is failing. Output at high idle is 2 volts. Is there any way to test...

I have done a search, and checked all the books, but here is my problem. This is a fresh restoration, I have a professionally rebuilt generator. I cannot get any charge on the ammeter. It will show discharge, but never a charge. Running the car it shows 0, and will discharge when the lights...

I have searched and found lots of information regarding repolarizing, but will that do anything for a generator that will not 'motor'. I have a professionally rebuilt generator. It has only 300 miles, but I have never had it show charging. The generator was not putting out. My multi-meter shows...

I had seen service bulletins, but I just got 31 issues (28-30) of the 'Ford News'. I had never see them. Very interesting reading, great articles. One of them is de the announcement of the town car. Are these in any way rare, (all of eBay I only found 3) and are there people who collect, or...
