I tried searching for my issue but failed. I usually work on my '30 A but today I thought I'd try to loosen the driver side rear brake drum on the '48 as it won't rotate. I was expecting something similar as the "A" but my 48 has the rivets, not the adjusters on the outer side. Want to pull the...

Will try to post a picture of an "A" found on Hemmings website. http://assets.blog.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/veh2_resized.jpg Try copy and paste.

Brother sent me this link about an auction in Florida and online. Read the pdf on the owner, and check out his cars. http://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auctions_details.php?detail=165&

$155,000 Model A Ford sold at auction on B-J tonight! Well it was a 1903 Model A, but what the hey.

My brother just bought a '28 roadster. When we went to look at it he was not really impressed as it was in horrible shape although very straight with no dents and only a little bit of rust in front of rear fenders. Straightest fenders ever. He was told before arrival by the son of the owner it...

Did anyone get to go to the auction of the great hoard of Model A parts and cars in Oklahoma, Sat. The 27th?

I am away from home, my tablet won't let me search but I am able to post for some reason. Would one of you gents post a link I can use to troubleshoot my no start situation please? No spark at coil wire to ground when cranked. Thanks guys.

Hope I don't double post this. I read up on cylinder leakdown test and also checked an US General tester. The tool comes with a 12mm and 14mm adapter. Is an adapter available to fit the "A" head and one of the mm adapters supplied with the tool?

Was reading about the cylinder leak test and saw the US General tester but it comes with 12mm and 14mm sparkplug adapters. Can an adapter be found to fit the "A" head and adapt to the 12 or 14mm as supplied by the tool?

Didn't Shelly have a companion site named chevybarn? When I try it I get the Fordbarn every time. I have some needs there as well as here. Thanks guys for your prompt replies. No Model A questions right now.

I was looking for a battery for my '30 Coupe and stumbled upon this Battery case only that fits over an Optima 6 volt battery. NOT for the "A" but would work in my '48 Ford, I believe. Kind of pricey but someone would want it. I haven't seen one before. Hope the link works...

I was surfing through the older posts on the Barn and saw a similar question asked. I was working on my '30 coupe about a year ago and the glass sediment bowl was orange from old gasoline stains. I removed it and scrubbed it with gas, wd40 and hand cleaner and wasn't amused. I was ready to...

Guys, I am moving my shop this week and find I have either 5 or 6 extra engines needing work and I won't have room in my new place for all of them. I need some help in figuring a price to ask for them. Some are complete from front pulley to the transmission out put shaft. Some have flywheels and...

I have searched for the answer and my car is not here to check, but I will borrow a tow dolly that doesn't appear to be adjustable and need to know how wide is the tire track? I am going to tow maybe 15 miles to have a noise figured out by a friend and myself on Friday AM and will need the width...

I need to find a fuse box schematic and sizes for a 1982 Ford Mustang. Where do you guys go to find such info. I am having trouble finding this info. and I've lost the owners manual. Thanks Russell

My brother sold his '29 last week and new owner said it quit running. He and I went there tonight to get her running and had a little bit of trouble. We checked the terminal box and got the horn and lights to work. (The owner said they were working while Bro. talked him thru some early...

I have an extra engine I'd like to check the main and rod shims in and wondered if anyone has an idea for a floor type stand I could build to adjust the shims from a chair or bucket. An inverted stand of some sort to support the block and tolerate rotating the crank between adjustments. My...

I seem to remember reading that the coupe and P-U seats would inter-change. I read on our local Craigslist someone is looking for P-U seats. If they are the same, I'll tell him and also tell him about Fordbarn. Thanks for your time. Russell

Just checked the shims in an older rebuilt engine and removed necessary shims on the mains. The rods were fine. I had finished the installation of this engine when it was found to leave a dinner plate sized puddle under it at only four miles of use. That is when I pulled and adjusted the mains...

In the MAR/APR Model A News page 39 there is an industrial engine with a power take off and stand just like one I have and would like to contact them. Any info is appreciated. Thanks. Russell
