    Modern Ignition Points Rubbing Block Lubrication

    I'm thinking about using a set of modern ignition points that have a felt pad for lubricating the rubbing block. The felt pad can be installed or it can be left out if desired. We ran these type of points back in the '70s with the felt pad installed and lubricated with a little 30W engine oil...

    Door Glass Has a Mind of It's Own

    Within the last month or so I've noticed that opening and closing the passenger side door of my closed cab pickup just a few times causes the window to roll down about 3/4 of an inch. The window can be cranked up and down easily and this doesn't seem to ever happen while driving. Also, I have...

    New 5.5:1 Cylinder Head Availability

    When I bought my Model A eighteen months ago I had no idea what cylinder head it had so I wasn't looking to buy one. But I remember them being readily available at Snyder's, Mike's, Bert's, Model A Medic, etc. So now that I know I have a stock head and I'm looking for a 5.5:1 head they've been...

    Are you using Champion W20 spark plugs?

    There has been plenty of discussion on this forum and others about spark plugs, heat ranges, higher compression heads, hotter ignitions, what plug to use and what not to use. I would like to hear from people who have a stock Model A head, stock Model A ignition and otherwise stock Model A...

    I'm going to learn something today (I hope).

    I've been working on cars and trucks for about 50 years but what happened yesterday is the kind of thing that keeps me up at night. About a week ago I was driving my Model A and the speedometer stopped working. I crawled underneath and disconnected the cable from the housing and, sure enough...

    1931 Ford Model A Pickup Deluxe

    I'm no expert but this doesn't look like any 1931 Model A Deluxe pickup I've ever seen. Sure, it has a 1930 radiator shell (not unheard of), but a 1929 instrument panel? https://www.hagerty.com/marketplace/auction/1931-ford-model-a/0ca01dad-f78c-49d0-ba44-d7b8b862276b?scrollTo=comments

    Some Days the Bear Eats You...

    My headlights and parking lights (incandescent bulbs) of my 1931 were working just fine. However, I removed the lenses to clean the inside and noticed that the headlight bulb filaments were not horizontal. In other words, the filaments in both headlight bulbs were "clocked" at about 10 and 4. So...

    Do Model A Engine Valves Rotate?

    I'm curious, have searched the forum and the internet but didn't find an answer. But I would think Model A engine builders would know. Do Model A engine valves, either stock or modern valves with adjustable tappets, rotate as they're operating? If not, what prevents them from doing so?

    Model A Head Torque (revisited)

    I realize the “How to”, “When to”, “Which head gasket”, “Which torque patterns”, "Sealant/no sealant" and “Hot or cold” of torquing a Model A cylinder head have been discussed at great length in these forums. I've even read a couple of posts that covered how much better the head clamping force...
