I had a set of Firestones on my 31 Tudor 450/500 19s. They were just worn out. So this year I did my research and decided to purchase 5 new 450/500 19s American classics radials. With the old tires the car handled great ! It stopped it didn’t pull and it didn’t sway at all. Now it’s like a...

I just installed a set of American Classic 4.75/5.00 radial tires. My old Firestones tires were getting worn. The old tires wore perfectly even. The A never drifted or pulled either way. So I decided to bite the bull it and spend $$$ for new tires. The installation went very well. Went for a...

It’s time to replace the tires on my A. I heard good things about Coker American classic radial 19in. I have 19in Firestones bias ply on now. The question I have is the spear tire has never touched the ground it looks brand new. Would you replace the spare with a new radial? At $206 a tire I can...

A few years back my negative battery clamp became loose and the alternator went wild and over charged the system and burned out all of my light bulbs. So now when I remove the floor boards I check the battery terminals. I remove them clean and reinstall. Seeing that the negative post is normally...

I came across a 6 volt group 1 battery today at a local farm store. The manufacturers sticker date of 5/19. For $47.99. It’s been on my mind. :rolleyes: What’s your opinion. Would you buy it? I forgot to mention my battery is 8 years old

My Speedo is off by 5 mph on the plus side. I’ve been checking into the drive gear. I didn’t rebuild the rear end. I see in the parts catalog that there’s 2 different gears that can be used in a stock rear. 18 and a 19 tooth gear. On the drive housing it has a 19 stamped on it does that mean I...
