    steering wheel movement

    When I started driving my 31 A about two months ago the steering wheel had NO play, none, if you turned it a fraction of an inch the front wheels moved. Now I have about 3/4ths of an inch play, that is I can turn the steering wheel that far without the front wheels turning. The car is tucked...

    ammeter problems

    I have what I think is a repop ammeter that is not working properly. It is at 3 amps plus when the car is off and goes to 18 when I am running the car then when I shut the car off it is at 10 til I tap it and goes back to about 3plus. Are these difficult to repair?

    rear shock question

    I removed the rear shock today and when I removed the cotter pin and large screw it came off fine but shouldn’t there be a spring under the screw holding the cup down? I don’t have one but not sure I need one.

    starter problem

    Started the A up today and it cranked over slowly but it was about 30 degrees so not too surprised, it started. Drove it about 15 minutes and shut it off, attempted to start and it cranked very slooowwly until it would not crank, no start. I put a charger on it for about half hour then it spun...

    Lester VS Firestone update with pictures

    I got the Lester 550X19s on the car and took it for a ride yesterday. The difference is unbelievable. I am sure its not because they are lesters but because they are new, the old ones were from 1971 and it felt like the steering column was made of rubber when going town straight roads it would...

    Lester VS Firestone

    I am replacing my tires on the 31 model A I was thinking of radial tires but they are almost $1,700.00 for a set of 5 with tubes, seems a bit much. I like the idea of radials but thats just too much for tires. I am thinking of getting Lester 550 bias ply, has anyone tried these and how are...

    This is my first model A and I am just now starting to drive it more. The car runs great however when I am doing 40-50moh and come across even a mild hump in the road the car wants to (and does) dart to the left or right.

When I attempt to push the timing pin into place while slowly cranking by hand the pin does not go in. I even tried a smaller diameter pin, no luck. Whats the next best way to get TDC...
