I have a chance to purchase a Model B engine. The car & engine was rebuild less than 1000 miles ago and the owner of the car is going to install a flathead V*. My question, is this engine compatible with the stock Model A bell housing and is just a simple "Bolt In" type of job? :confused:

I need to chase the threads for my floorboard screws are the screws 12-24? seems to be tight????

SOLD - SOLD - SOLD :) Completely rust free body and all wood is solid, the car does not include drivetrain or interior. I purchased this car from the estate of a Gentleman who was in the process of restoring and unfortunately Alzheimer's raised its ugly head. I was going to restore but have...

My sedan is now driving better than she ever has, why you ask? The driveability problems began after I installed my Mitchel overdrive with a 3:54 rear differential gears last year. My engine was rebuilt four years ago and the only performance option is the 5.5 high compression head. The engine...

This past Monday I purchased a 29 Model A Sedan that was a project car that unfortunately the Gentleman could not complete due to Alzheimer's, included with the purchase are well over 5K in parts. The body is rust and dent free and looks like it had a cosmetic restoration back in the 80s and was...

Here is the problem we have a good 32 also a good 34 transmissions, they are exactly the same and we have a 10" pressure plate that hits the bell housing on the trans and we can not bolt it in, I understand that the 39 transmission has a deeper bellhousing but if possible we want to use one of...

I have an opportunity to purchase a 30 Sedan that has been in storage for the past 45 years. The car is totally original and my plan is to get her running and not restore the car. I will drive her as a survivor for the next couple of years and then I plan on passing the car to my Son in Law and...

Last year at a car show I was approached by a person who asked me if I would be interested in purchasing a Model A Ford Generator. His Grandfather passed away and his family inherited the Iowa farm. He was going to sell the farm but was going to keep whatever was of value and was not sure what...

My friend picked up a rough running 31 Coupe and I pulled the engine a couple of weeks ago and checked the bearings using the plastic gauge and all looked super so I then did a valve job and installed a high compression 5.5 head, then rebuilt the transmission which really did need attention as...

Today I finally found the vibration that my Roadster has had since day one. I was thinking it was related to my engine crank not being balanced. Last year I pulled the engine and replaced the clutch with a balanced flywheel and used a dial indicator to make sure my flywheel housing and flywheel...

Yesterday the weather was perfect and took the Roadster out for a spin, this car is not driven often and needed some exercise. In short order I noticed that she was just not running up to par, brought her home and started to check her out. I grounded every plug to see what cylinder she was not...

I installed this Lubricator earlier this week. Before I installed I just happened to top off my fuel tank I actually track my fuel mileage on all our vehicles including my antiques. The first improvement after the installation was the engine ran smoother and then after driving the car a...

Yesterday here in Maryland the temperature was in the low 60s and a perfect Model A Day! Took the 31 Slant out and headed out for a nice drive to western Frederick county. The car performed so well and it was such a enjoyable drive. Then on the way back I decided to stop at Taco Bell and grab a...

While out for a drive yesterday in my 31 Slant sedan I noticed that when I was braking I could feel a "Clunk" and the car would randomly pull to the left. I thought it was the front brakes because last week did a complete front brake job including backing plates, so I figured it was just a...

I have accomplished a major issue with my 31 Slant Sedan, what is it you ask? well I previously posted that I installed a new front spring years ago that was never prepared correctly, yesterday I installed the correctly prepared spring, adjusted the shackles, connected the shocks, installed the...

Three years ago I replaced a sagging front spring on my 31 Slant Window Sedan. This is a very straight forward job and I did not experience any problems. But and there is always a but! The spring was new and I did not know that it was required to disassemble the spring and bevel the edges of...

My friend just sold this real Town Car to a local Gentleman and he has another that is also in perfect condition. The new owner actually drove this car to our car show yesterday. just is a beautiful car, especially the interior. :)

Well I finally figured out the reason my front suspension was so darn stiff. The problem was the lever action shocks. I installed all new front end suspension components about three years ago including the front spring. After all was back together the car drove so much better but the car had...

This past spring I purchased six new Lester white wall tires from Universal Tire in PA. After I mounted and cleaned off the protective blue film they looked super! But within three days they were turning a yellowish color. I called Universal and we discussed and if was determined that the...

My cars do not have FAM installed and like the idea of using them but will not consider unless I can assure the chassis will not sag or flex so I have a question: If you install the FAM how would a chassis cross over brace to keep the chassis from twisting and sagging work out ? has anyone ever...
