What is the easiest way to block off the manifold vacuum port to see if I have a vacuum leak in the wiper plumbing?

Apparently, my differential has started leaking (around the torque tube connection). I noticed the differential was a little low; so, I drained maybe a half pint into a pan to check for metal flakes. At the time, I didn’t see any metal flakes; so, I topped off the differential with 600W from the...

We drive our Model A a lot to events (20,000+ miles in 6 years), and I’m getting tired of dealing with flats. I purchased five 1935 wheels that I plan to have powder coated, and I would like to purchase radial tires that will skew the speedometer reading as little as possible. These 1935...

Hubcaps for 1935 16” Wheels When my existing tires wear out, I plan to replace them with 1935 Ford rims. I bought 5 used rims from Bratton’s a while back, and I’m looking for hub caps (without a V8 logo). Can anyone recommend a source? Also, out of curiosity, how do you remove the 1935 hubcap...

Does C.W.Moss typically have high quality parts? https://cwmoss.com/ I typically shop at Bratton’s and Snyder’s, but they are out of stock on some parts that C.W.Moss supposedly has in stock. Can anyone share there experiences? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is this a late 1931 stock carburetor configuration? Or is it a farmer fix? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have an old copy of the 1932 Ford Parts Price List book, but it would be handy to have than information in an Excel spreadsheet. Is an Excel spreadsheet with that information in it available anywhere? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have 2 Model As. One is a Victoria, and the other is a Fordor. The Victoria has a Tremec T170 4 speed transmission, and the Fordor has a stock 3 speed transmission. So, “upper left” is either First gear or Reverse, depending on the car, and it’s easy to forget which one I’m driving. Does...

Let’s Talk about Turn Signals (Again) I searched this website for information on this topic which comes up over and over again, but many of the links to information are broken. So, please bear with me as I dig up this topic again. Turn signals are not my strong suit; so, I’d like to keep this...

I bought a set of these, but they don’t adjust far enough to see traffic for me. How can I bend the peep mirror arm to allow easier viewing without breaking it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I drained the oil for the first time today for this car, and I ran across a drain plug and gasket that I didn’t expect. The drain plug is 1 1/8th inch, and I can’t find a replacement gasket. The one that’s on the drain plug looks to be copper and worn out. I don’t know if it’s a spark plug...

Somewhere, I thought I read that 2 blade aluminum fans were back in stock, but Bratton’s, Snyder’s, Bert’s, Mike’s, etc. are out of stock. Does anyone know of a supplier with the fans in stock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What’s the easiest way to remove rear hub grease seals? Banging the drum on concrete can eventually work, but it can mess up the concrete and/or the drum. (It worked a few years back on a different Model A, but I don’t want to do this again.) I tried drilling a hole in the seal to insert a...

It looks like I’m missing the lower left “nut” for the upper floorboard. Does anyone sell that? What is it called? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there supposed to be a spring on the 1931 Slant Windshield adjustable seat handle? I looked through the Judging Standards, but I didn’t see it covered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the floorboard out for some maintenance and inspection of a 1931 Fordor that is new to me. I changed the transmission oil, and I’m wondering if there is any oiling point for the factory shift tower? I don’t see one, but I thought I would ask. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recently purchased a 31 sedan, and I’m greasing it for the first time. This top grease fitting for the the front driver side spindle doesn’t want to take grease, and when I try to force grease into it, the hydraulic pressure of the grease blows the fitting out of its seat. How can I grease...

Does anyone know a Model A vendor that has a 1931 closed car dash light in stock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The previous owner of the Model A that I just purchased told me that the engine was gone through 40 years ago, and only SAE 30 oil has been used in the crankcase. Although the car has not been driven a lot since then, I'm thinking that there will likely be sludge buildup in the oil pan...

I just bought a Model A, and the seller is throwing in a bunch of spare parts, including this partial block. Roughly, what would this weigh? I need to return to get the parts, and I trying to estimate how much help I’ll need to take with me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
