A-Speed for Android is Coming Soon — But I Need Your Help I’ve received a lot of requests for an Android version of A-Speed. The app is finished, initial testing is complete, and it’s been stable in real-world use for a few weeks now. The only thing keeping it from being released is Google’s...

I wanted to let everyone know about a free iPhone app I’ve been working on called A-Speed. The idea came from driving my own Model A and finding myself asking questions while on the road: * What RPM am I actually turning at this speed? * How fast am I really going according to GPS? * What’s my...

Just returned from Robert Paul, rebuilt and ready to install. Shock bodies only. I got impatient and bought a set of Stipe shocks, so these are not needed. Make offer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just installed a new Aries muffler and Station Wagon tail pipe extension on the woody this evening. It took about an hour to install once we got everything laid out. Looks and sounds great! BEFORE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEfMRLQ4-94 AFTER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6vntBUYKsw...

Does anyone have a link to detailed instructions on centering brake shoes? No pictures in Les' book, and I have not found anything in the service bulletins. As a visual learner I'd love to see detailed photos or a video of what exactly should be bent/filed, etc.

Has anyone with a 150 A/B mounted an LED third brake light? If so, I'd love to see/read how you installed it. I'm debating mounting it on the underside of the rear roof cross piece and running the wiring inside the car, across the top, down the side and and then down through a small hole in the...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aISGxwIRfCc Noticed this play while replacing my wheels. I am going to check the frame to steering box bolts now, but are there any other adjustments / attachments I should be looking at?

Mounting tires this evening... Time for a break! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Google Fu is weak this evening and I'm sure this has been covered on the barn before... Does anyone have a photo, video or diagram showing the proper way to measure the lash in a timing gear? I've head both feeler gauges and dial indicator, which is best? If feeler gauges, I assume we're...

Here's a new one. Installed new shocks and adjusted the brakes and now the engine dies whenever I turn on the headlights or cowl lights. Blinkers (in the cowl lights) work fine, but no tail lights, brake lights or rear blinkers! Turning on the headlights kills the engine instantly, but it...

I'm looking to replace the rubber pad between the frame and my station wagon body. As you can see from the picture, the current rubber is toast. Does anyone have a source for vulcanized rubber material that I could use to re-create the original pads. Also, any ideas as to how thick they should...

About to break the bank and replace my 37 year old Firestones with a set of Goodyear black walls and I'm thinking about going back to metal valve stems. I've done a few searches but have not been able to find anything definitive. Do you simply cut out the rubber valve stem and bolt on the new...

2 pair of repro rear shackles. Recently purchased from a major supplier. I ended up using the originals with my new spring. $25 shipped in US. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My car developed a squeak that I originally thought was the water pump, then maybe alternator... tonight I had the floorboards off and noticed it only made the squeak when I wasn't depressing the clutch pedal. See the video link below: https://youtu.be/Bx5XwItJuD4 I gave the throwout 3 or 4...

Just noticed I have two different front shock arm styles. One has lettering on it (similar to the rear arms) the other has no lettering and what appears to be a seam in the back. The letterless one is also bent differently. I'm assuming the letter-less one is a repro. Correct? Sent from my...

Just about finished going through my brakes and noticed the drivers side brake operating pin was severely bent. The passenger side had less of a bend, but was still pronounced. What would cause this? I went ahead and replaced them with some NORS that were straight and true.

I have never had a working wiper on our car. The motor is currently mounted to the windshield, and works when I apply vacuum via a hose. I'm a little confused about how the rubber hose is routed from the passenger side window pillar across the top, through the window and onto the motor...

I'm working on cleaning up my backing plates / replacing the shoes / drums on the rear of my car and have run into a bit of a snag. I'm following along in Les Andrews' Mechanics Handbook Vol 1 (Pages 1-4/1-41 for those following along) and I feel there must be a couple steps missing. I have...

I understand Pleasantville / S&S are out of business. Does anyone know if someone bought their leftover stock? Looking for a rear driver side door hinge for a station wagon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a new modern plate distributor ready to install / time in my model b engine. The engine has a "c" marked head, and I'm unaware of any special cam, etc. in the engine. It was rebuilt in the late 70's by my grandfather, who unfortunately is no longer with us. Does the model B need to be...
