I bought several Model A horns from an estate sale and would like to check them out to see if they work before I completely dissemble them for cleaning and repairs. I have removed the covers and did a visual inspection and made sure that the armature turned freely. How can I check to see if they...

I did a search and couldn't find anything about the question and problem that I'm having. When you buy a new set of cast iron drums and have the hubs swedged on the drums I know that you have to have the drums turned to get them trued up again. I have had this done and when I tried to install...

Alright I need to replace the rubber ball on the front radius arm and need some help. My A already had this set-up when I bought it but the old ball is worn out, so I ordered a new replacement for it. I know that a lot of you guys will tell me that I should have bought a new original kit and...

Is there a site that has all of the service bulletins for the Model A?

what head I have on my Model A. When I bought the car there wasn't much information provided about its mechanical condition except that it would start and could be driven. I have been doing some work on the drive train and steering and would like to find out a little more about the motor. The...

I did a search here and have found a few kit makers and I don't know if they are all still making the kits for this conversion. I tried to read all the posts but know that I missed a lot but I did find a few. The three that I am interested in contacting are Ken Parker in Van, Tx, Gary Bernard in...

In my much younger days I worked in an auto body shop and did frame straightening on wrecked cars, so I still know how to check a car frame for damage, or a bent frame and my car doesn't seem to have any. So here is the problem I have, the hood is not aligning with the body on the passenger side...

Well, I took the wife riding in 30 Coupe yesterday and the cab really got hot and a little uncomfortable. A lot of heat seems to be coming from the firewall and floorboard areas even though I have everything double insulated on the inside of the firewall, kick panels, and doors. I didn't put...

I have been promising the wife that I would put turn signals on the 30 Coupe to make it safer to drive on the streets with the crazy drivers that we have now. She said that it was dangerous for me to use the old arm signals for turning and to get it done, so I am going to ask for everyone's help...

When everything is correct on the steering, how is the steering wheel positioned in relation to the light switch? Is the light switch arm between two of the spokes or is lined up on top of one. I have seen it both ways and just want to know which is correct.

With the new oil filter kit installed, what should I do? Drop the oil pan and clean. What oil should I use then?

Is the cap supposed to have a filter in it. I always thought that it did but was told that it's not. It's been a long time since I owned a car that had an oil filler tube with a cap, but I thought that they had a filter that you had to clean sometimes.

I need some help on how the brake floaters are installed on front and back backing plates. I bought the Floating Brake Energizer set from Bratton's and they didn't come with the install information which they said it would in their product information. I spent a large part of yesterday trying to...

What is the correct gap setting. I have been looking in the Red Book by Les Andrews and haven't been able to find it. Grumps

I'm currently trying to rebuild the steering and can't get the steering wheel to come loose. I have the steering wheel puller that is sold by Snyder's but still can't get it to turn loose. Anyone have any good suggestions on the removal? Grumps

When I bought my Model A a few months ago, it needed tires, so I started checking and found that all the white walls were out of stock at the four parts places that I checked. I called the local tire dealer that I've done business with, and he said that he thought that he could get me a set and...

With my A sitting in my driveway without any weight in it and looking at it from the front it sits lower or leans to the driver's side. I know that it shouldn't, but I need some help to know where to start looking. What do I need to look for?

I'm working on my 30 Coupe's brakes and am having some problems, so I need some help and advice. I'll start with what I have done so far and see if anyone can see if or where I've gone wrong. I bought new, made in the US, cast iron brake drums for the front and had the rear drums turned. I also...

I am 73 yrs old and always wanted me a Model A ever since I was a boy and helped my dad work on a few of them. I just bought a 1930 Coupe that is in really nice shape which I think that I will only fix the things that need to be fixed to make it safe to drive. I'm currently working on the...
