I have been called in to help get a Model A running. Car was running "when parked" 2 years ago, now has been towed to a garage. Upon arrival: Dead battery (6v), Empty fuel tank, and Seized distributor. Fuel lines were blown out and a few gallons of fresh gas added. CArb is getting gas as it...

A customer brought in his bottom door glass channels and some rubber to have glass cut and installed. this is a late '27 (#14,7xx,xxx) coupe. The rubber he wants to have us use is the same as A-79500 Windshield Frame Gasket 1926 - 1931, only cut into shorter strips. We would normally just use...

1936 Ford 4dr Is a 24 stud engine original to the 1936 model year? Were aluminum heads also cast 59AB? I want to connect the existing accessory hot water heater that is mounted to the interior firewall. I looks like the ports next to the cylinder head water outlet might be a great place to...

28 phaeton, mechanical brakes, one piece not multi piece service brake cross bar, brake rods and linkages rebuilt/refurbished and well adjusted. They can lock up straight and true at speed if needed. 99.99% of the time all works as expected. Once in a great while, the brake pedal will only...

The attached gearshift lever was on a Model B Ford transmission that I am installing in my '28 Phaeton. At first I thought I would like the swoopiness of the lever, but after installation it hits the seat cushion in first and third gear and is a bit tall for my preference. I now would like a...

My Model A flywheel currently has the V8 clutch, and at first glance it may need bit of attention. I have heard of a GM clutch being used with our Model A's. If this is a not uncommon modification, is there any advantage to that clutch over the V8 clutch? What clutch is used? Will my Model A...

I am adding a remote oil filter to my Model A block, as the Scalded Dog "Y" headers do not allow for the handy Mikes Affordable valve cover set up. I have filled the wide grooves (see photo) at the top of the oil pump to force oil out of the block at the factory threaded hole, through a filter...

Months/years(?) ago I remember someone having kits of ARP cylinder head studs for the Model A engine. The broached allen key end would be nice in this application. If this sounds familiar, any sourcing would be appreciated. Thanks ins advance. Peace, Phred

The springs on my phaeton have been modified (including some leaves removed) to lower the car to a stance I like. The rear radius rods will hit the chassis rails when the car hits a "good" bump. I have approx 2" clearance between frame rail and radius rod. I am trying to resolve this without...

Just a point of curiosity... My standard phaeton (firewall date 06-26-28) windshield frame does not have the finger pulls on the bottom rail that are commonly seen on roadsters. The frame was never drilled for finger pulls. Given the condition, patina, and fit of the windshield frame, I believe...

A recent post about banger radiators brought up a suggestion of a 4# pressurized cooling system. What would be a recommended size/volume of the overflow tank in such a system? What would be the best location to mount the overflow tank in a regular Model A engine compartment with a hood? Thank...

The original steering wheel on my 28 phaeton needs better coating/protection to prevent moisture activated red hand syndrome. In the past I have cleaned, dried, and coated the wheel with spar urethane, but every 2 - 3 years the coating is worn or flaked away and my hands turn red again. Do you...

For the Model A Ford and panhard bars: 1) If one was only going to have only one bar, is a front or rear bar most beneficial? 2) Other than ease of attachment: Does it matter if the bar is anchored to chassis at the steering box side or the other side? Does it matter if a front bar and a...

The occasional discussion of the electrical "weak link" at the Model A headlight connection has got me thinking. I am asking the Barn if my logic is good or flawed. Most of our cars have a single fuse at the starter (let's assume a 25a fuse). If a headlight connection were to short out, the...
