Aluminum head and an aluminum intake manifold from a 1912 t really makes a difference. I can get right up the hills now. it's like a different T! Best thing I ever did! Bill

If you still have this tool, would you be willing to sell it? Thanks! Bill

Hi, Does anyone have a Model T wooden wheel (1924) spoke tightening tool they would be willing to sell? Thanks, Bill Sharon, Conn. thebraislins@gmail.com

Do Model T's seep or drip? After lots of work, I've got mine where it just seeps. I've noticed in old photos at Ford Dealerships that there are drip pans under the Model T's even in the new car showrooms.

Sold.

Thanks, Jeff. He has these. I'm all set. Thanks! Bill

I'm overhauling the starter on my Model T and I have one broken brush holder . The stud where the spring mounts is broken off. Does anyone have a spare used brush holder? An end plate with at least one good brush holder is fine, too. Thanks! Bill in Conn. thebraislins@gmail.com 860-364-8064

Lots of flatheads run low oil pressure. Pressure is just resistance to flow. As long as there is a a few pounds at idle, you are fine.

I have a Stromberg OF carburetor on my 24 Model T and it runs really well. My only problem is that it drips gas when it is sitting unless I shut off the fuel. I know Stan Howe made a viton needle and seat several years ago but he has since sadly passed away. I understand a new needle with a...

For sale is a steering column mounted Stromberg choke assembly for Model T's using a Stromberg OF carburetor. I paid $169 for it recently but I am not going to use it. I'll take $125 for it. Thanks for looking. Bill thebraislins@gmail.com

Thanks everyone for your help. Bill

A few years ago I think I read in the forum there was a man reproducing needle and seats and maybe a few other parts for Stromberg OF carburetors. Does this ring a bell to anyone. If so, do you have a name or email? Thanks! Bill

Thanks for the info. I have a new aluminum head, an early aluminum intake and a Stromberg OF carburetor. Will work on the T this winter and in the spring I will see how I do on the hills in northwest Connecticut. Really appreciate the input! Bill

Thanks! Really good information. I will put them back on. Bill

Things have really changed. When I bought my Model T in 1981 I bought four tires from Universal Tire at the Rhinebeck, N.Y. spring auto show and swap meet for $40 apiece. They are still on the car.

I agree. The closer the better as long as the blades have clearance for the radiator.

Thanks for all of the good input. Really appreciate all of the help from the Ford Barn folks! Bill

I have a 24 T. When I overhauled the engine a few years ago, I did not put the splash pans / aprons back on. My thinking was it might get better air circulation around the engine and run cooler. Also, I don't think there is a real need for splash pans the way we drive Model T's today. Does...

Thanks for all the replies to my last post. I purchased a Z aluminum head for my 24 model T. I am using a copper head gasket. Should I use copper spray sealer? I know the head and block will have different expansion rates when hot because of the dis-similar metals, aluminum and cast iron. Is...
