I put a new motor in my model a, and somehow ended up with a pair of holley model 92 carbs, which are the holley version of the famous stromberg 81 carbs. I can't find any information on them, especially regarding stock power valves or jet sizes. I plan on running them on a gear drive intake on...

Driving along in my 30 coupe today when all the sudden it made that sound that costs money. Far as I can tell, the rearend locked up with no warning, which in turn broke the transmission case. So now I'm on the hunt for replacement parts. Whoo!

What a hoot! Managed to pass tech inspection cause the tech guy was laughing so hard. Dialed in a 28.07 at 45.7 mph. Made it through 2 rounds of eliminations before i broke out of my time running a smoking 27.89. It was a hoot, and i was such a crowd favorite that they had me run an exhibition...

Went to start my A and it went Wrrrrr...clunk. thought maybe i snapped a bendix spring (12volts to a 6 volt starter) but when i put the crank in the motor, the motor wouldnt turn over. :confused: So i unbolted the starter, and it just stayed put. Nothing would make it budge. Even a B.F.H and a...

I put a burns downdraft intake on my Model A with a single 94 (model 8ba) carburator. Car is bone stock, and figured this would be a bit better carb than the leaky warped tillotson. Plus it looks neat. So i got it all set up and running this afternoon. Went to take it out for a drive and got to...

So i bought this cylinder head at a swapmeet this past weekend. They pulled it to replace it with a synder head, so i bought it to replace my cracked head. So as i was working on pulling my head, i noticed some differences. Mainly, the head i bought has a casting date of 6-11-43 and has MADE USA...

So i had a good swapmeet this past weekend, and was able to locate a solid head to cure my over heating problem (cracked head) While i was there i dropped 2 bills on an original Burns down draft manifold with carb and linkage. Is it really worth swapping it onto my stock motor in place of the...

so i fought my overheating problem and thought i had it solved. Milled the head flat, new headgasket with copper coat. Torqued the head cold, then hot, then cold again. Washed the grease from the radiator with gasoline to clean it up. 6 blade fan and no thermostat. Been having fun driving the...

So its been a while since iv posted on here, mainly because iv been driving my car everywhere. Well i went out to start the car this evening to go get a burger, and noticed that the engine was quite noisy. i know the valves rattle a bit (non adjustable) but it sounded like the bottem end was...

So on my coupe, ever time i open my rumble seat, i have to fold up the back of the seat. Its not attached to the lid. How do they? This gets old.

So i pulled the floor boards out today to adjust the fingers on my clutch, and grease the release bearing. I gave each nut one full turn, and that was enough to bring my pedal right to the top. I readjusted the linkage between the pedal and release shaft, and re-assembled everything. Hopped in...

1930 Ford Model A. Stock motor in good shape. So iv been fighting this overheating problem since i put on a new headgasket. The old one was leaking on #1, so i pulled the head, cleaned both gasket surfaces, covered it in copper-coat, and torqued it in 3 stages, 25-50-60 in the correct torque...

Well it seems i can never catch a break on this run. Last year i melted down my bitchin 230 flathead 6, and this year my A could not keep its cool. Didnt hurt it, but i could not keep it from boiling :mad:, so we turned around after less than 20 miles. To prepare for this run, I took out the...

So i drive my 30' coupe Alot. So far, its only over heated on me twice, which is wierd. It has a 6 blade fan, fan shroud, and a 4 core rad. Ill be driving down the road and the temp will be fine, then all of the sudden the gauge will peg and the rad will shoot water out the top and drain almost...

So i pulled the drums off my car today to grease the bearings and give it a general once over after a hard trip in the mountains on dirt roads. When i pulled the drums, i noticed that the outter bearing doesnt want to seat all the way on the spidle, and the bearing surface on the spidle looks...

So iv been driving the heck outta my 30 coupe. Over 300 miles so far in about 2 weeks. One thing i can not get rid of is the pop out the tailpipe between shifts. It doesnt do it when its cold, but after about 10 miles between shifts it has a loud backfire out the tailpipe. Seems to be worse when...

So im thinking of going the route of a high comp head on my Bone stock A banger. Motor is completly stock internally, but seems to be in decent shape sans a noisy lifter thats gonna get adjusted. My question is, how much compression will the babbit bearings take? how much was stock on this...

Just wondered over here from the H.A.M.B. Im 20 years old and a college student. I have a 28' Roadster pickup thats gonna be a neat little hotrod, and just picked up a survivor 30' coupe thats bone stock. Plans are to keep it about stock. Maybe a high comp head but thats it. Already put 160...
