I just received a call from some nice sounding foreign lady that was really concerned that the extended warrenty on our car had expired. She wanted me to sign up for a new extended warrenty so we would be protected from costly repair costs. Being the nice guy I am, I said "sure". She then began...

Ok so I think I may have it figgured out but wanted to ask before ordering new parts. My head lights are pretty dim. ALL connections are clean and tight. However my coupe does still have the origional wiring harness. I had trouble with the horn not wanting to work corretly and solved that issue...

Getting ready to replace the front spring perch bushings after having my spring re tempered and re arched. Can you usually just drive the bushings out or do you need to be split them with a hack saw blade? I will find out when I go to do it but was just curious. Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good primer and paint for the front spring. I would really rather get paint locally as opposed to having some shipped from one of the suppliers. Thanks

Ok let me begin with saying that I am aware that several of the suppliers offer new springs. However, what I would like to know is if anyone knows of, and maybe delt with, a source where I can get a new front spring buying direct from the manufacturer? I would like to compare prices before...

Has anyone had their front spring re arced as opposed to just replacing it? Thanks

What is the best way to check for an intake manifold leak? Thanks

Just curious what you guys think before I start changing parts. Got the A all serviced after its long winters nap. Checked and set the point gap. Two of the lobes have always read .018" and the other two have always read .022". Nothing new there. I set my point gap with a dial indicator with the...

So, just curious as to how, if having to hand crank my A, how do you go about closing the choke from outside the car? The model t had a choke rod that came out the right front below the rad. But guess I never knew how to choke the A while hand cranking. A close pin around the choke rod maybe...

A friend who is also an airplane mechanic was telling me about a product called Microlon. It is a one time friction reducing oil additive. It is approved for use in airplane engines and he has used it for quite sometime. He also uses it in all of his vehicles. I am curious if anyone on here has...

I see that some of the suppliers offer a horn relay that fits inside the horn cover, claiming that it will help the performance of your horn. Has anyone used one of these? If so did it help? Thanks

Is there only one hot wire that supplies power to the light switch and horn? My lights have gotten a little dim and my horn is not working correctly. Car starts fine and the battery is staying charged just fine. Am wondering if maybe there is an issue with the wire / wires that bring power to...

Ok, so my 30 coupe starts very easily and runs smooth until I reach road speed, about 45 mph. At that time it seems to develop a slight miss.I have the more modern points set up installed, timing is set with a light, point gap is set with a dial indicator, spark plug gap is correct and the plugs...

How do you hide the heads of the tacks when installing the strips above and to the rear of the doors on a 30 coupe. I need to install new wind lace and will need to remove these pieces to do so. Thanks

So, on say a coupe, when you install the tack strips above the doors and down along behind the doors to hold the wind lace in place how do you hide the heads of the tacks?

Sometime ago I posted a question on how effective balance were in model A tires. Several of you responded and some asked for a fallow up. I finally got around to putting them in. Kind of a slow process getting them down the valve stems, about 15 minutes a tire. I used some old hair clippers to...

Wondering what the possibilities might be. At low speed 10-15 mph, with the clutch engaged I hear a thump thump thump coming from I think the rear of the car. It stops as soon as I put the clutch in. I feel no vibration at either slow or road speed. What would be the most logical cause? Thanks

So when you fellas fill the oilier on the outside of your distributor, typically how much does it take to fill it. Seems like mine only takes a couple - three drops.

Am looking for a source for the retainers that hold the wind lace in the channel in the front of the door on a 30 coupe. I have looked at several suppliers and can't seem to find them listed. Thanks

Just asking, if anybody runs a dose of Sea-Foam in their crank case occasionally to eliminate the accumulation of any sludge? I watched some clips where they did some tests doing this on a more modern engine and the results were pretty impressive. Thanks
