    Snyders Inserted Rods

    Planning on building a decent touring motor for my 29 Special Coupe. Going to use Snyders pistons, ss valves, 1 piece guides, self locking adj lifters, B cam, counterweights, the only thing I can't decide on is what inserted rods to use. Snyders offers some rods that have the bearings wrap...

    Drum LED Tailights.

Anybody know of a vendor who sells LED tailights for drum tailights or a way to modify them to work...

    Brakes Dragging In Reverse.

    Backed out of the driveway this morning and noticed what felt like the right front brake dragging. I say right because when I was backing out the steering wheel turned to the left. (Counter clockwise) The sedan has hydraulic brakes on it. And we just redid the front wheel cylinders. So i'm sure...

    Adjusting brakes by heat

    I've heard of people adjusting their brakes according to how hot they get after a drive. How hot should a set of cast irons drums get after a good 5 mile drive?

    Indonesia/Argentina Exhaust Manifold

    I was digging through my grandpa's stuff the other day when I found a exhaust manifold that had raised lettering around the rear downward bend that says "Indonesia/Argentina". Do I have something here? I've personally never seen one before, but that's not saying a whole lot.

    No Power (Get up and go)

    Got the sedan back together after doing a full mechanical resto, aside from a few other minor things, i've noticed I have little to no power. The timing is set at 0-28. The distributor is a Mallory built by Ron Kelley out of Texas. This distributor ran fine when we had it on our coupe. Checked...

    Mountain brakes?

    Picked up a set of what the guy called "mountian brakes" at a swap meet today. The backing plates that came with it look identical to the stock model a backing plates. Are they? And do they use the same wheel bearings as the model a? I can also see why they're called mountain brakes from the...

    Brought another one home.

    Got a speedster from an estate sale for $300. Complete chassis except for the brake rods and carb. Gas tank looks clean. Engine looks good inside the combustion chambers and the motors free. Gonna throw a carb and some plugs on it and what not and see if it'll run tomorrow. Plan to drive it as...

    Sliding out of second gear resulting in broken transmission.

    Last May ou club went on a tour and part of that tour involved driving down a dirt road. We were cruising along in second gear but just not fast enough to get into third. We put the transmission in March of 2010 and it had about 3500 miles on it when it broke. Before this it would only come out...

    Towing Capacity

    What would the towing capacity be for a Model A Ford with a stock drivetrain but with some engine upgades? High comp head, B cam, B crank, B rods with 283 pistons, etc. I've searched on this subject but could only find threads about "towing your Model A" not "towing WITH your Model A." I've been...
