    ISO: Restored 1931 Fordor Slant windshield Model A

    I have an old friend with cash in hand that is looking for a restored slant windshield fordor. He said that he'd prefer an early 31 with the gas shutoff under the dash. He is also fond of the two tone drab green color, but it doesn't have to be that color. He just wants one that is turnkey...

    Brand new engine won't start

    A buddy has purchased a touring engine for about 6K. I helped him install it but he finished it up himself. So, I'm not real sure what's wrong. He told me that he got it to start a couple of times in the last few weeks. He said that it will turn over and he hears a "pop" every now and then but...

    Brake rods on an early 28 sedan

    I bought new rods for the front as my originals were looking pretty worn. The originals had been extended by about 1 1/4 inches. I set the new ones at 51 7/16 like the book says but they wouldn't connect to the actuating arm. I backed the adjusting wedge off as far it will let me so I could...

    Adjusting the door on a 28 tudor

    I've searched for a post telling me how to adjust the door on a tudor but couldn't find anything so, I'm asking how to adjust the door. Standing at the side of the car and facing the door, the top right corner is approx. 1/4 in away from the body. The lower right corner is a good 5/8 to 3/4 in...

    Inside a carburetor float

    I have a Tillotson carburetor that I'm rebuilding. I took the float out and when I shook it, it has a liquid inside. I see that there's a drop of solder at the end of the float like something was put inside of it at the factory and then soldered up. I've looked over the float but i don't see...

    Fair price for whitewall tires

    I recently purchased a 1928 Model A that has like new 21 x 4.5 Lester whitewall tires on it. It looks like the spare has never been on the ground and the ones on the car have very few miles on them. I don't like whitewalls so I thought that I would sell them. I have a couple people interested...

    AR vs E28, which is correct??

    Ok, I have a Model A whose engine number was stamped in March of 28. Anytime that I'm talking/posting about it and I call it an AR or if I call it an E28, I get someone telling me that there is no such a thing. I'm wanting to know which term, if either, is correct. I'm tired of getting corrected...

    Rebuilding a Tillotson carb.

    I'm wanting to rebuild a Tillotson X carb. I ordered a rebuild kit from Macs. It came with a new choke adjustment needle. The diameter was too big to fit into the original adjustment needle's housing. I sent the kit back and now I'm going to order a kit from another supplier. I'm trying to keep...

    Which oil should I use in my Model A?

    I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but i couldn't find a post on it. I just bought a 1928 Model A last weekend. I am wanting to change the oil but don't know what to use. I don't know if the engine has ever been rebuilt or not. If it has, it's more than likely been a long time ago...

    Looking for a 1928 (preferably) or 1929 Ford Model A tudor sedan in really nice condition. I would prefer one that has a nice body, fenders, and paint. (prefer black). I just don't have the time to do any bodywork right now. It doesn't need to have perfect interior. I'll probably put new...
