Door Hinge Mounted Side Mirrors… Are they even usable due to engine vibration?

The choke wire sold by the vendors is brittle and if you have to “un-bend” the end on the carburetor the wire breaks easily. Am I installing wrong or is there a solution?

WTB-ECCT unit to adjust Model T coils.

Pertronix With Original Pop Out Switch…. My ‘31 has the Pertronix module in the distributor but a repro key switch. Any problems if I still use the Pertronix unit but install a pop out switch? Thanks…

I have one front wheel stud on my 160A that needs replacement. The Snyder’s catalog says the studs just slide into the holes in the drum and then the shoulders are smushed into the drum with their tool and hydraulic press. What sized press is needed to do this? Any other tips or tricks I need to...

Dust Cover To Fit Late ‘31 Slant 4 Door? Received a new dust cover today from Snyder’s for my 160A and will be returning. Apparently made to fit all sedans and the boxed seams at the top rear are about 4 feet too short which makes the material bunch up on the roof and leave a 1 foot gap above...

Looking for a good restored Coupe between late 1919 to 1925. I am getting too old to do a total rebuild myself and am looking for one in well restored condition. Texasgrowncapers at yahoo dot com

Four Post Lift Recommendations…. Any current thoughts on four post lifts for a Model A? Good or bad experiences? Getting too old to crawl on the floor though the ‘31 sits up pretty high. Any decent brands that have installation available?

Copper type head gasket. Does the raised crimped edge side go towards the block and flat side go towards the head? thanks...

I noticed that some vendors have two types of head gaskets available for the Model A engine. One is the copper clad and the other a steel core with silicone over lay. Does anyone have a preference of one over the other or reasons why one is better than the other for sealing block to head? Thanks...

Twenty Eight years ago I started to dismantle my 160A to take the body off, rebuild the engine etc. and paint. My worse day back then was trying to take the inside door handles and window cranks off to take the interior panels off the doors. No matter how hard I pushed on the escutcheons I could...

When I re-upholster my 160A later on this Summer and the old panels come off the doors I plan to install the "h" shaped window seals that fit under the glass in the window channels that help keep water from running down the glass and into the doors. I see remnants of this seal in the doors now...

I noticed today that Snyder's carries two after market external seal set ups for the Model A transmission case and wonder if they work ok. The first #A-7111-S fits on the back of the case and covers the transmission shafts. The other #A-7112-S is installed by way of the bell housing cover and...

Took the dash panel off the gas tank yesterday to loosen and lube the speedometer cable and found not enough slack in the cable to get my hand between the panel and gas tank. I assume I will need to get under the A and undo the cable from the drive shaft housing in order to get some slack up...

My 1931 slant windshield 4 door sedan is one of the heaviest of Model A production cars and has very little wood in the structure. It is obvious that Ford was very adept in bending metal by huge presses such as the front fenders on the Model A yet the center of the roof on my 4 door, which would...

Feeling a bit lazy I ordered the SS front bumper clamp covers and the blue decal inserts. I will eventually refurbish the clamps that are on the bumper though I do not think they are original. (1) Will bending the tabs around the covers suffice to hold them on the clamps as is? They slide on...

Late 1931 Slant Windshield 4 Door Sedan. Today I was taking the two screws off my outside door handles in order to place new anti scratch pads between the handle escutcheons and door to help keep the paint from being scratched. Three doors went fine but on the last one as the second screw was...

For every gas level problem in the Model A Zenith carburetor. Are they any better now? Maybe I am mixing up the Grose valve with the original valve. Educate me. Haven't bought a carburetor part since 1988 and my Zenith is starting to drip if the gas tank valve is not turned off. Thanks...
