Hey Ford Barn, been a while. My wife and I are relocating overseas for a while and I am in need of long term secure storage for my Model A. Does anyone in the Houston area have any suggestions? I would like to find a place where I can store the vehicle, the trailer and any household goods we...

I am just wondering if anyone knows of a bright green right hand drive ‘31 Victoria in or around the Tampa area. It would have a beige leather interior and top with dark drown wheels. It used to belong to my grandfather who unfortunately passed recently due to COVID and I would like to get into...

Was changing the head gasket yesterday on the truck and I noticed the number cylinder didn’t look right. The other three are shiny and nice and all the cross hatching is still visible. However, the number two is dull and can no longer see any cross hatching. I don’t have the best pictures and I...

Quick question....had my radiator rebuild a little while back, looked great and didn't notice until later the way the baffle is installed I can no longer see the tubes. Makes checking the water level a challenge. If I put water in until I see it it gets thrown out of the top of the radiator from...

Was wondering if anyone has some information about the Malory distributors. I currently run one of Bubba's magnificent distributors and I know it's supposed to have a full 30 degrees of advance at about 2500 rpm. Shot it with the timing light and that seems to be acurate. However, I was also...

Recently changed my head gasket on my 30 pick up, used a best brand model b style copper gasket. Drove the truck for a good while on Sunday and it ran great all day...did some carb work on it yesterday and again it ran fine. Today started it up to check dwell on the points and play around and...

So it's a beautiful morning and decided to take the A out for a ride. Fairly recent rebuild (under 1000 miles) so I decided to check the torque on the head. Maybe about half the nuts or so we're a little loose so no big deal torqued everything up to spec and off we went. Stopped for coffee and...

Trying to track down some of the rubber pedal covers for the right hand drive round pedals, does anyone know where you can find them? Additionally as far as right hand drive parts go what would be the best resource for parts? It seems to be very difficult to find front steering parts and parts...

So I took the head off of my pick up and found the modern style head gasket blown. Intended on having the bead trued prior to re-install but got in a hurry and pressed for time and didn't do so. However, I put it back together with a copper head gasket, was supposed to be a felpro but I did not...

I am almost done making all new interior panels and covering them in a full grain leather for my '30 CCPU, I know it's not correct but it looks greats. My plan is to eventually recover the seat with the same leather I used to cover my panels with. Does anyone have or know where I can get a...

I am in the process of making all new interior panels for my truck and today I came across this mess. The interior wood, the header I believe it is called, is completely rotten and is a mess. Additionally, the rear most piece is broken at the bend on the drivers side of the cab. I've never...

I have two model B carbs that's I have recently rebuilt but don't run. The castings were thoroughly cleaned out and inspected prior to painting. One has an original numbered set of jets while the other has a flow checked set from renners in it. Both seam to seal fine and don't leak fuel but...

So my engine is a fresh rebuild, about 300 miles on it. I find this odd and have no explanation for it...when my tuck is relatively cold, running for 5-10 min maybe it has had a recent issue of throwing water out of the radiator cap. Tends to be a little foamy also. However, once it's been...

Got it taken care of, don't know how to delete this thread but it can be...

So as many of you know by now I recently completed the build of my engine in my '30 pickup. Runs absolutely fantastic and couldn't be happier. However, I now have just over 100 miles on the engine and I'm getting what I consider a substantial oil leak from what appears to be the front seal...

Most of us trailer our A at one point in time or another and this was something dumb I did recently and thought I'd pass along...most people would check this but I was in a hurry...if you are using a winch to pull your A on or slowly let off your trailer make sure the strap you use to hook up...

Some of you may remember I lost my engine back in November when the crankshaft broke in two. The block ended up being crack beyond what was recommended to me for repair so I the end I tracked down a serviceable block and started over. I pleased to say after months of work and gathering parts...

While I have my engine out for rebuild I decided to also rebuild my bell house. No issues with the rebuild of the bell housing but my question is why I cannot get my pedals back on. I replaced the pedal shaft and pedal bushings and reamed the bushings to .875 but cannot get the pedals on. I have...

I recently had my flywheel converted to accept the V8 style pressure plate. However, I do not have the shouldered bolts that are used to attached the pressure plate to the flywheel. Does anyone know where these can be obtained? The only vendor that I have seen even offer them is Brattons but...

I have am currently working on rebuilding an engine for my 30 pickup and keep hearing about pressurizing at a minimum the center main. After a substantial amount of search I am continuing to come up empty for any substantial info on this. First of all is it worth it and or needed? I will be...
