My generator started making a funny noise. The best way I can describe it is the way a modern car sounds when its been run hot and the radiator cap has lifted to blow off some steam. Revving it up would sometimes make it quit, but not always. I could give it a sharp rap with a hammer and it...

Although made after the production of the Model A, the film is still of the same facility where they were built. Pretty amazing stuff for the time. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/ford-river-rouge-plant-1938.1042252/#post-11802531. :)

Thought you guys might be interested in this footage of the Rouge plant: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=33084

My 6V generator is not Model A, like I first thought, but the later Model 46 generator. A while back I had trouble with the cutout so I replaced it with the Fun Projects Voltage regulator, and all appeared to be working for a while. Today I noticed when I rev the motor up, the ammeter doesnt...

No, its not mine. I'm just amazed at what "restoration" means to some people. https://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/5182687128.html Enjoy.

Does anybody know what the arrangements are this year? I've never been to one at Maggie Valley, I was told that it was moved, but then I also heard there were two separate events last year. Is it still going to be 4th of July weekend? Thanks!

Can anyone I.D. this cowl, please? I think its a 31, because of the indented firewall, but I dont know what body style it is. Thanks.

Just in case anybody is interested, the Open House is this Saturday. Yeah, its mostly hot rods,but they are primarily Ford people, and this is the Fordbarn.:) If you scroll through the pics you will see an old Ford racer...I'm not positive, but I think the guy said it was based on a "T", not an...

Recently there was a thread about running the Stromberg 97's vs 81's so I was digging through an old flathead book I have to look up the CFM ratings of the stock carbs. I knew they rated two barrels and 4 barrels at a different pressure drop, and the book says that one barrels are rated at 3in...

I looked in a couple of the Model A books I have and couldnt find any reference to putting the split type guides in , and what is acceptable clearance. I do have an old Motor manual that references flathead Fords from 35 to 46, and it called for .0025-.0045. I'm thinking those should be good...

Normally I try to never drive this little truck in the rain, because a lot of it iis wooden, and home made, but the running gear is all stock. Any way, as luck would have it, I recently got caught out in a thunderstorm, at night, to boot...no big deal, except the radiator sprung a big leak and...

I've been looking around, (unsuccessfully) for a dual updraft intake that you can put two of the stock type carburetors on. I want one that is cast, similar to the one that Purdy Swoft has posted pics of many times. What I DONT want is the one that looks like five pieces of pipe stuck together...

Just wondered if any Fordbarners are planning to go to the gathering this Saturday? It starts at 9am, not sure what time it will end.

I purchased a copy of the Guidelines and it came in three sealed packages: a set of tabs, a 1997 and a 2011. I put it together beginning at the front, first the tab and then the information following. It made sense to me until I got to the end, there was a Cabriolet tab, but no information to go...

I've seen several threads here where the condition of a radiator's flow has been mentioned. I remember years ago the good shops had a flow checker, but I dont know if they have a clue what I should actually expect. Does anybody have accurate numbers of what a good radiator will flow? Are the...

I found an old distributor in Pop's stash of spare parts. Its stamped: Motorcraft DOZF 12131 A 7 I'd like to know if anybody can verify that this distributor will work in a 390. Thanks

I was reading the thread about the flow tested jets from Renners, and rather than get it off track, I started a new one. I wondered if anybody is intentionally jetting up beacause they choose to/are forced to run ethanol fuel. How about E-85? I do my best to run non-ethanol fuel in my stuff...

I read most of these threads about the old/new points, what oil to use, leakless water pumps...and others. You know the ones I mean. Everybody has there own opinion, most dont mind sharing it. I always chuckle and remember something I heard growing up: " Convince a fool against his will, he has...

Just FYI: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=853836 One of the pics shows a body tag, but I couldnt read it.
