    Why Did Henry Change Wheel Sizes?

    Between the 28/29 - 30/31. I can't think there's any performance advantage of the 19" over the 21" as the width is similar. Maybe production costs?

    Horn Sound

    I get the aahoo but no gah. Car is 12 volts and the fields appear to have been rewound as the windings do not lay neatly beside each other as you would expect and there is no step down resistor. Everything is clean and lubricated. Didn't want to fiddle with adjusting screw for fear of making...

    What's the trick for installing lower spring on motor mount

    As you can see in the photo, the stud isn't long enough to install the spring. Not sure how to compress it to get the nut started. I tried to install the bottom spring first and then the top ones but I didn't have enough clearance to get the top springs in place. Previous installation had a...

    Another valve adjustment question

    Trying to adjust the valves on this 1930 engine. As this is my first time with this type of lifter adjustment, it's not going as I thought it should. As I understand it, I need three wrenches. One to hold the tappet, one to loosen the lock nut and another to turn the adjuster up/down to set...

    Number One Cylinder Isn't Helping

    I'm new to Model A's but have some experience with 8N's. This is a new to me car and I'm having trouble with number one cylinder not playing well. With the engine warmed up and idling, short out the first cylinder and the idle doesn't change a bit. Shorting the second one makes a slight...
