I realize that this is weird question. I’m getting old and trying to figure out what antique cars I should keep. My kids are not in a position to take them. 1. We have a 1919 Model T with a Mifflinburg body that my dad and I restored in the mid-50s. It has the original motor and only a small...

Previously I mentioned the availability of 2 Model A motors for sale but things are getting hectic because we are looking at moving and I don’t want to deal with them. One is stuck. The other worn out and apart. Both have heads and there is one bell housing and flywheel/clutch assembly. I...

I was going thru some of my parents stuff and found an old Raccoon coat. They were antique car enthusiasts and I remember my mom saying that she wanted one to go with the cars, but don’t remember her getting one. It is way to small for my wife or Me, and the liner needs some work. I looked on...

I have a 31 Town Sedan that my Dad got in the late 50s. To be honest it is not my vehicle - it belongs to my wife. My car is the 1919 Model T. The body and interior on the A have not been restored but a few years ago I had the motor and transmission rebuilt. The end of this week was a bit...

I had 15 4 tube florescent lights in my 2+ car garage to give me light for working on vehicles. A few weeks ago I decided that to convert to LEDs. After a bit of research I choose a 9600 80 watt Led light with adjustable panels to replace 4 sets of lights and installed it. I was amazed at the...

I realize that there is a section for selling Model A stuff, but I am looking for input on what works. I listed two model A motors that are in sad shape in the swap section because I need room in my garage for what I consider a small amount ($180 and a Bottle of Pinot Noir) and got no...

I have two Model A motors that I need to get out of my garage. One is completely apart, was from a truck and significantly worn out. The other came out of my A and is solidly stuck most likely because there was a head gasket issue in the 60’s and it sat in a barn until about 5 years ago. There...

What’s going on with them? I have been a member for years, registered for the new forum, and used the new forum numerous times. Now it dosen’t recognize my username and password. I am not a computer newbie or forgetful about my credentials. Have they lost their minds or just having a problem...

OK The Model A is a star and I'm just part of the supporting cast. I took the A to a NH Seacoast Cars and coffee gathering The A was the oldest car there and I was interviewed. See if this works - other wise just try seacoast cars and coffee...

Maybe coffee tables? The motor in my Town Sedan was in really bad shape, (water had gotten it it and the cam/lifters we’re stuck) so I bought another motor that was free in hopes of making one good one. The second came out of a truck, was well worn, and needed a complete rebuild including...

I am in the process of putting 12 volt LED stop lights on my Town Sedan. I found a neat fully sealed 6 to 12 volt step up transformer and I figured that all I needed to do was splice into the stop light circuit.:) Before I mounted anything I made sure that the plan would work. LEDs are voltage...

I am working out the details of getting my Town Sedan going smoothly and have a question about the throttle rod. The vehicle was ideling a bit fast so I made sure the hand throttle was fully up and adjusted the stop on the carburetor, but the stop did nothing because the hand throttle was...

After a lot of work, rebuild the motor transmission, steering box, new wiring, clean and de-mouse nest the radiator, clean the gas tank, install new glass in the windshield etc. we finally took the 31 Town Sedan for a real ride. I’ll admit that it was only a few miles in the neighborhood, but...

How much is OK? I rebuilt the steering box in my 31 and filled it to the top with heavy oil. The bottom seal has the extended tube and I replaced the seal on the thingy with two teeth. It is leaving a puddle of oil on the floor. I am thinking that I overfilled it. In any case it is now better...

I am adjusting the clutch in my Model A Town Sedan after rebuilding the motor, transmission, and installing a new clutch. I want to make sure that the throwout bearing does not ride on the clutch fingers. As I take up the slop in the linkage, I can feel the spring that returns the bearing but...

I am rebuilding the steering box in a 31 Town Sedan. I got the assembly (column and box) out of the car and am now taking it apart. My problem is getting the wheel off the shaft. I have the nut off, made a stand that goes to the floor and catches the flange on the steering wheel in two places...

I might be crazy but the tail/stoplight on my 31 Town sedan is dimmer than a politician, so I was thinking about adding some inexpensive LED stop lights on the rear of the car. I don't use the car at night. I plan on mounting lights on the spare tire with a 6 to 12 v convertor and running a...

I have to do some work on the two tooth steering box in my 31 Town Sedan. I noticed that there was a metallic knock when I first turned the steering wheel. I traced the noise to the steering box and found that the selector shaft moved up and down. After looking at Mac's diagrams, it looks as if...

I am going to put a fuse and shutoff switch in the wire between the starter and junction block of my 31 Town sedan. This would make it easy to shut things down while storing the car and provide protection for all of the electrics. - The switch would be easier than disconnecting the battery...

I am putting a distributor back in my Model A and have a couple questions. It was rebuilt when we did the motor. I used the pin to find TDC - easy! Then installed the distributor - I remembered to put the lower shaft in - made sure that the timing rod was correct lever up, and the arm...
