When I bought my ‘28 Tudor 3 years ago, I installed new harnesses, replaced the 6v bulbs, replaced the 6v battery and observed 10A charging at all times with accessories off. When applying the brake (single tuna can light) or turn on the dash light the ammeter drops to 5A charge. However when I...

Good day! I am wondering if anyone has a reference on stock ride heights for a 1928 Tudor, as well as measurement points? Thank you.

There have been several scams using fake profiles with recent join dates, no posts and no info. Recently I posted a wanted ad and got a response from a “member” who sent me to another email to contact and payment requirements. Beware as it is a total fraud. davestuart3864 is one and...

WANTED: Good rear spring. Please DM if you have one you’re wanting to sell.

Hello all! I thought I would ask all of you what extras you carry with you (if you do) when driving. I’m thinking of a small duffel bag to keep with me with some tools and extra ignition parts, belt, a fire extinguisher, flashlight, magnet, and a tire pump. So what’s in your bag?

I recently bought what appears to be a very original 1928 Canadian Tudor. As I have been going over things, I began to check ignition component clearances and noticed the points did not line up correctly. I purchased a new set and when I went to install them, I noted the new set do not align...

Hello all. I recently bought what seems to be a mostly original 1928 Canadian Tudor. It has a black Ford radiator shell emblem, square screw heads, and Ford script bumper clamp bolts only on the rear. The fronts are smooth. As I was checking things out, I checked the engine number and see that...

I have a nice 1930 frame with an extra, nice, uncracked front engine cross member and all 4 nice running board brackets. The number is very visible and does not come with a title. Local pick up only. I will post pics soon.

We have started disassembling everything on the 1929 Town Sedan cowl after moving on from the running chassis. The windshield frame is in great condition, but the hinge is rusted internally. We have been soaking it for months with PB, but she no work. My question is, How easy should the...

Dad (TD) and I have restored the running gear and chassis of his 1929 Town Sedan. We have been able to run it around the yard, and the refreshed engine has about 1 hour of run time on it. The only thing that has not been assembled on the engine is an exhaust system. The stock engine, water...

So, I just wanted to thank all of you pros, who have selflessly, meticulously and tirelessly provided information and written stickys, started blogs, and started websites for Model A enthusiasts. It will be a year in November that TD bought a 1929 Murray Town Sedan from a V8er, CJO13 from...

Hello. As we were mounting the freshly rebuilt Zenith 1 to the intake, it was noted that the upper body flange to intake mounting holes have been drilled out. Chalk it up to the fact that this was overlooked upon my rebuilding it.:rolleyes: So, the questions: 1.) Do we simply mount it with...

My dad gave me a bare chassis today to start on another project after we get the 29 Murray TS done. I have identified it as a March 1930 production. The front cross member seems to line up with that date, based upon stamping. Is there any way to ID what body style used to sit on the rails (i.e...

This past week, my family and I visited the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC. While the focus is on rail transportation (good place to go for train fans), the automobile exhibit was pretty cool. Several of Henry's examples are there - Model R, both brass and steel T's, a 1931 Slant Window...

I would like to buy a decent Zenith 1 or 2 in rebuildable or usable condition. PM me.

Good afternoon! I am in the process of freshening up a 29 T.S. Compression test results showed low, so the head was pulled to inspect condition. A compression ring was stuck on one of the cylinders and 2 others had stuck valves. The one cylinder that had higher compression than the rest did not...

So I went on the Grundy Insurance website and found out that unless you live in South Carolina or Massachusetts , you cannot get classic car insurance through Grundy. Here is what it says on their website: "As of October 20, 2011, Philadelphia Insurance (PHLY) has assumed administrative...

How much rear axle lateral runout should I find on a 29 T.S. after I take the rear brakes and backing plates off? Thanks, Mark

I recently posted, concerning banger compression. I wanted to post, concerning rod bearings and pistons in a new thread. I Flipped her over about 45 minutes ago and pulled the pan. Seems like I need to clean her out good. Some sludge at the bottom of the pan and grit. I inspected crank and...
