Hey Guys, Now to make my 30 coupe even more safe and fun. I sometimes have to use the emergency brake to get a good quick stop. I need to fix my brakes. I would like to start with the front two first or should I plan on doing all 4 at the same time? Adjustment sake.... What are the...

Hey guys, I just got my parts in from Mike's. I ordered one of those radius ball washers. Installed it. But.... To get the cotter pins back into the castle nuts I would have to compress the springs which I know ain't right. What am I missing here? My radius ball looks pretty round. What...

Hello Everyone, I parked in front of my shop which has an incline. Not a big incline maybe 5 to 7 degrees. I let it stay there for a couple of hours. When I moved on into the shop I noticed a oil leak about 2 foot long. Kind of like a tear drop. My guess is my back main bearing seal is...

Hello Everyone, I got past my muffler falling off problem. I now want to stop the wobbling back and forth of the front tires. I had my wife move the steering wheel back and forth. The radius ball cup is loose and moving so I am going to take it off and look at how to fix this. My concern...

Hey guys, I was driving around and my muffler fell off up by the manifold. It seems that it would be a good idea to put a strap or hanger up there by the manifold so the muffler dosen't hit the ground and drag. Do any of you do this? I know it needs to stay in place in the first place. I...

Hey Guys, I was out driving my car yesterday without the bottom floor board in so I could watch the battery I installed. Of course all the heat was coming up into the cab. However I did notice on the running board over by the muffler the paint had bubbled. I think it is from the muffler...

Hey Guys, While I was driving around today my amp gauge was reading 10 amps. I know that is a bunch. So what I did was turn on my lights but the amp meter went to 0 or a little less depending on what beam I was on. Is this normal?

After 3 years of sitting on jack stands, I got my new optima battery installed with 2.0 wires. Spins like a top now. I drove it around town for about 30 minuets. Actually I pulled it out of the garage and some guy drove in and we talked cars for 30 minuets. He had a Model A Sedan in the...

I have a 30 A coupe. It has a thermostat in the radiator cap. It is hard for me to see that little red line that indicates the temp. If I had one thing not stock on the A it might be a inside the car temp gauge. I often I need things but sometimes you guys change my reasoning for doing...

I am installing a cutoff switch for the battery. I am glad I searched the past forum threads. I was going to install it from the neg to the starter. Wrong...... I found out I should install it from the positive to frame or transmission. That really makes more sense now that I think about...

Has anyone bought or knows if these armatures this person is selling as new for the starter. Looks good but is it a good buy? I would like to rebuild a starter I have and would like to have a good armature. Please let me know if you know anything about this part. Thanks

Hey Guys, I am making a battery hold down for the top of my battery. My tray is out of the car and 2 sides are completly open. The other 2 side have a horizontal band half way up. I think my new Optima 6 volt may fall out. Is the a normal tray???? Thanks Bill

I have a 30 A Coupe that I have had for 10 years. I didn't put the tires on but the have great tread with small little cracks on the side walls. No speration or anything like that. I have kept it up on jacks all around and just haven't driven it much at all. I am thinking about replacing the...

When I am out driving around and want to stop to eat inside some where or something like that. I am not by my car anyway. I don't have door handles that lock. You know how some guys don't know the boundries of not opening the door to look in. I think innocent looking but non the less...

I was all set to do a 12 volt conversion. I had second thoughts after reading that I really don't need it and that it would just temp. mask my real problems. I did what was suggested with bigger cables, grounding, and making sure things were correct. That starter spins like a brand new one...
