Good morning, I inherited a ‘30 coupe that has a new V8 clutch and lightened flywheel. The clutch grabs very high before the car gets going. Is this to be expected or should it be adjusted accordingly? I don’t want to fix what’s not broken it just feels way too high to me.

I’m so sorry everyone I just posted and should have been more specific about my issues. Our coupe was running great but had a very loud backfire once in a while out the exhaust. I found the intake was broken. I had the exhaust manifold resurfaced and installed a new intake and gaskets. Now the...

Good evening Ford Barn! I was just looking inside the engine on my 30 sport Coupe with a camera And I noticed that the valves say Ford on them is this original by chance? The car runs very nice so I wanted to look inside to see how everything seemed and I noticed the Ford logo on the valves...

Good day all! I noticed this morning that my Zenith Carburetor has a crack in it. The crack starts at the air intake where the air maze would go in towards the choke butterfly. It stops before the butterfly. My question is can this cause it to suck unnecessary air? I’m thinking the air comes in...

Hello good morning,My brother restored a ‘30 coupe. All components On the car are brand new. When applying the brakes firmly the car shakes violently! Now my guess would be the shoes and drums arent true? He unfortunately passed away unexpectedly on us recently at 53 years old. So I can’t ask...

Hey everyone,So last year I replaced the horn rod on my ‘30 Tudor. Everything went well with no issues. Few months later rhe horn started to blow now and again when I’d turn the wheel. I noticed the steering box was a bit loose so I tightened it. Now the horn blows when I turn the light switch...

Good morning. Would anyone have any insight on how to lower the seat in a a roadster? I love driving mine but I’m a little too tall and my head peeks over the windshield. Even if I hunch down a bit the windshield frame is in my vision. I hate to hack away at anything just wondered if anyone has...

Lately my 30 Tudor has been starting a hit hard after it warms up. Starts right up when cold. If I go to the store for gas or groceries it starts hard. Getting plenty of gas. Any ideas why this may happen?

Good morning! I had a horn issue the other day.Pressed the button and away it went! Had to pull the wires out. I’ll have to pull the light switch and see what’s going on. Am I correct thinking the spring On the horn rod is what keeps the horn from sounding? I never had to mess with it so I’m...

Good morning everyone. I live in upstate NY near the Canadian Border. Our Model A’s unfortunately sit all winter do to the gross amounts of salt they spread on the roads. I often wonder after the cars sit for a good 5 to 6 months. Is there something I should be putting down into each cylinder...
