https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JSDQ4BcIiWc I have seen several trials videos online that involve old cars. This is the first one i have seen with model A’s. Im all about doing what you want with what is yours and i would never tell any of these cars owners that they shouldnt do this, but why do...

I have a 29 tudor with a downdraft weber. I figured more people in this forum may be running fuel pumps. Anyways, ive got a 6v carter vein pump that works great but is obnoxiously loud. Does anyone have experience with a 6v pump that is good quality and quiet? I see macs sells one but i dont...

Wondering if anyone knows of a good 6v fuel pump that is quiet when it is running? I installed a carter vein pump to feed my weber downdraft. It works great and the car runs great but the pump is obnoxiously loud. Its gotta go. I see macs has one for around $55. Is it quiet? Any better than the...

“Normal” model a temp I know there are many variables but, what would the typical model a temperature be when driving on flat land in mid 80 degree weather. Stock engine with the exception of the weber downdraft carburetor. Im running close to 190 coming out of the engine block. Not sure of...

Looks like i missed the fact that the weber down draft carburetor setup that the suppliers are selling doesnt allow the passenger side lower hood section to close. At least it doesnt close on mine. Did i really miss that when researching this carb setup or is something wrong? Not looking for...

Looks like something inside my ahooga horn has shorted out. The horn still works but my battery died, so i tracked down the amp draw to the horn and sure enough the internals of the horn are pretty warm and has that terrible hot electrical smell! Doesn’t seem to be a dead short because my fuse...

I recently purchased a weber downdraft, a 6v carter fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator. I guess my first question is (and i should have asked before buying it), do i really need a fuel pump for the weber carburetor or will gravity flow enough fuel? Since i think i will probably need the...

Does anybody know if there is a way to find out where a specific model a was originally sold by searching the vin number? I found that the henry ford museum used to have these files but it seems they got destroyed in a fire. Has anyone found another way or are we all out of luck? I cant help but...

Hi all, I’ve been doing some tinkering on my “new” model a and noticed that the front motor mount doesnt look original. Im not sure the name of it but it is the style that has the two upper springs connected together and has rubber inserted inside of the upper springs and only rubber on the...

Just took of the head to replace the head gasket. When i got the head off i noticed a “pile” off gunk setting on the head gasket just above the serial number. The head has a coolant port in that location but the gasket and the block does not and it is visible in the block that the port was once...

Hi all, im new to the thread and also new to owning a 1929 Model A Tudor. I have gotten the vehicle running and on the road. I am curious though about how much vibration from the engine is considered “normal”. At a idle the vehicle sits smooth and the motor sounds good. Once off of a idle is...
