Yesterday we had a great drive with our local Model A Club. Returning home I started hearing what I will call a rattling noise. Does not happen all the time. But if I am pulling up a small grade it is there, and it is pretty loud. When I push the clutch in it goes away. It is also not there when...

30 PU is missing really bad when running on road. Idles good but won't hardly run while out on road. I've had a great model A gentleman help me all winter on this truck. I will get his thoughts next week. It acts like it is starving for gas. Got it home took off gas line, very little debris in...

OK, Just recently I was talked into going from a 6 volt to a 12 volt set-up on my 30 PU. I know I may get slammed by many for this move, but that ship has sailed. Now, my horn will not blow at all. Worked perfect before. I installed a voltage reducer but not a peep from horn. Lights and...

So we had a big car show event this weekend. I had a magnetic sign made for the MA truck. Said the name of our farm. Left them on both doors most of the day. Took the signs off that evening, and they really left a bad film or something on the black paint. It's hard to explain, you can't feel it...

SO I decided to take the 30 A pickup out today for a test drive. Been having a little trouble grinding gears while shifting. Adjusted the clutch some, drained the ****** and put in new fluid. Happy to say, it shifted great. But on the way home it started missing real bad, bucking and jumping and...

IM having issues with my 30 PU. It seems that my cutch is not engage properly. At times, but not always, while shifting the gears will grind really bad. Ive tried double clutching and that helps sometimes but not always. Also, as I am coming to a stop while in 3rd gear, as I try to shift into...

I purchased a new water pump and radiator for my 30 PU. There were instructions in with the new water pump saying if I have a new modern radiator that I would need to Grind off 1/3 from each fin. They explain that the new radiator ( top ) could not handle as much water as the new water pump...

Just curious if someone could tell how old these tools might be? They all say Ford on them.

In the process of putting a new radiator & water pump on my new 30 A PU. Got it all tore down. Also new points, plugs and any other general little jobs that have been ignored these past few years. Should I do anything else? Of course I will grease and change all the fluids. What about pulling...

Can someone tell me what kind of carb is this? All the carbs I see new like at Snyder's and other places have a round base. This one has a square base. Just wondering if its a piece of junk, or should I just let it be.

Purchased this 30 pickup Model A. The delivery company actually tore the muffler off in transit. I didnt think it would be that big of deal. But, I did go ahead and purchase a new muffler and new clamp as well. Where the muffler meets the manifold, it just does not line up correctly. The new...

1st I will say that I went back thru some old threads to try and find my answer. But, no luck. Having horn trouble on my new M A PU. Took the back cover off. Playing with the adjustment screw and trurning by hand, I can get the horn to "chirp ". Even tried to put jumper wires on it several...

Wanting to give my motor a good cleaning. Would it be a problem to power wash it? I of course would not use full force. Would like to do a little painting in the engine compartment afterwards. Thank you.
