I have not seen a Tillotson like this. I have rebuilt and installed many carbs. Zenith, Marvel, and Tillotson but not seen one with the adjustment on the bottom of the carb. This was on the car for decades and ran with it but numerous fuel leaks prompted replacement with my preferred carb a Marvel

I was given a set of 1930 headlight that had been in a garage that was flooded. Both lights were submerged ( saltwater ). I got the lights disassembled and removed the metal backing that was riveted to the shell. The steel parts were very rusted and looked like laminated steel. I can replace...

Does anyone know how to contact Chuck. He has just relisted an item for sale that I attempted to buy 3 weeks ago but never answered my PM. Still would like to talk to him about the item

I had this dropped off for me to get it running. It was driven into a barn 20 years ago in Indiana and has not been touched since. Going through the normal items to get to the possible run I came across an issue. Both the radiator cap and gas cap will not come off. I have spayed PB Blast on the...

I have been asked by a friend to find some information in regards to the top of a 1929 Special coupe. He received a top kit and it has the grain running fore and aft on the top but the back which covers the window goes side to side. I found an old Lebron Bonny instruction that made reference...

Putting this out for what you may think the issue will be. Roadster was towed to me with following story. It was driven last year and parked in garage. Went to start 2 weeks ago and could not get it to run. I first checked for spark and found none. Bypassed ignition switch and had spark...

I had purchased a rebuilt model A long block. It came with a balanced lightened V8 flywheel and pressure plate. I have not found the specs for adjusting the pressure plate. It is not installed on the engine. Where can I find the procedure/spec for the adjustment?

I have been looking for a flywheel housing for some time. I fellow club member told me he had one that was from an engine that had been lying in a field. It was caked with crud and as I got the bottom cleaned out I found someone had put in an additional drain hole. The regular drain hole had...

I was helping a friend troubleshoot his stock 1931 pickup. Stock except for running modern points. We would get it running and it would either quit on its own or would not start again. At one point we were chasing ghosts. I would get voltage at 6 v on both sides of the coil and points then it...

Got a yard full of Fords. 1972 tractor. 2015 F150. 1930 Tudor and under the carport is a 1930 complete chassis

My A Hates me! This week i noticed my left headlight only worked on High beam. Seems simple just replace the burned out bulb, except it is not burned out. Reversed bulb and low beam lit up. I have 6 volts to both high and low beam sockets but bulb will not light on one. Replaced the headlight...

After blowing a head gasket I decided to replace the head also. Part of the reason was a friend blew his head gasket and took the old head to machine shop to get a clean up cut and found the head was cracked. He went through 4 heads before he got a good one and the machining bill was over $400...

I got my car back together (1930 Tudor) and it runs and looks good. I am running a Nu Rex 6v alternator. It was charging fine on the meter and everything appeared good. Driving down the road the other day the ammeter went to 0 and stayed there. I went home and put a voltmeter on the alternator...

I was trying to find a way to bend the rain gutter to conform with the back of the car. I messed up one and went to a top shop and was told they do not bend metal. I went to a sheet metal shop and they refused to bend it. I got a phone call from B Terry and he explained how the bend them. This...

I have rebuilt my 30 Tudor after an accident but am not happy with the front fenders. They appear to both be reproduction and do not fit correctly especially after the accident the right front will not repair decently. So any original fenders out there

I am in the process of putting my newly painted 1930 Tudor back together and looking at the welting for the fuel tank. I have 2 types, one is a dull black and the other is a very glossy black. As my car is a gloss black I am inclined to go with the glossy one as it is a good match to the car but...

Time to embarrass myself. I took this car completely apart 1 1/2 years ago to rebuild. Running gear all done and body painted. Placed body on frame and am installing the top wood. I can not find the way the bows attach. I have taken a ton of pictures during disassembly but evidently missed that...

Well my 30 Tudor is getting ready to be painted. The car is completely disassembled and off the frame. The one point I am not sure of is how to paint the hood. The problem I see is the hood hinge areas. If I have the rods out then the hinge internal will be filled with paint making it difficult...

I have a running 1930 chassis that I need a body for. Looking for Speedster or anything other than a Tudor or 4 door. want to keep cost down so no new bodies. Chassis was given to me as they took the body off to make a hot rod
