    Spark color

    From what I understand, a spark at the plug should be a blue color. What I'm getting is a yellow color. What can I deduct from the yellow color, and is it a problem? Thanks EOG

    Tarp for 28ccpu

    With the way the economy is going, it's possible I may have to move my 28ccpu from a storage stall to my garage, where I currently keep my car. The problem with that, is it's a very dusty environment in my garage, due to my woodworking there. Is there a suitable cover for the model A that you...

    side boards on the Model A pickup?

    Just about everyone asks why I don't put side boards on my 29ccpu, but the truth is......I like the looks of it better without them. I've studied a lot of available recent photos of Model A pickup trucks, and I'd say 3 out of 4 have side boards. I also don't like the looks of those step...

    suggest an article, or video on how to change a tire on 21" rim please...

    There are a couple videos on YouTube, but I'm not sure about the methods used. I've never changed a tire, so I wouldn't know if the information is good, or not. My rims are 21", if that makes a difference in how it's done. For those of you who are familiar with the procedure, please suggest a...

    Is it possible to date my 28CCPU?

    When I bought it, it had a model B engine already installed. I think maybe the engine was re-stamped to match the original title....but, I don't know for sure. There was no data plate on the firewall. It has the red steering wheel, hand brake by the gear shift. Except for the engine change...

    Decided against turn signals.....what about this idea?

    There are many model A owners that swear by their add-on turn signals, and I can see where they would be a great addition to a daily driver......but.....I really hate the look of them. I want my model A to have the look of the old days. Sooooo, what about this idea: Mini Strobe Beacon Safety...

    Do you take your Model A to the local self serve car wash?

    OK, I realize this is probably a newbie question......but, it seems quick and easy to take your Model A to the local self serve car wash... The pros are obvious, but what about the cons?

    So why did Ford go from 21" wheels to 19" wheels?

    My search on the internet gave no indication of why the switch to the smaller wheel in 1930.... I can make a guess that the roads were improving, and the larger diameter wheels weren't as much needed. (Back in the days of the horse drawn wagons, the larger wheels went over rough roads better...

    The price of a Model A Ford

    I purchased my 28CCPU a couple years ago, after quite a bit of research. I've continued to check on current prices, because I'd like to have a nice hotrod, too. I'm 72, and don't want to spend the time and effort to restore a Model A, or build a nice rod, so I've been looking at someone else's...

    Considering converting sealed beam back to original......what does this entail?

    My 28CCPU has been converted to sealed beam headlights, but I'd like to get back to a more original look. What do I need to know, and what parts do I need? I don't intend to use headlights anyway as this is strictly a daytime rider.....well, unless something unforeseen comes up! Thanks for...
