I think I know the answer but just wanted to check what everybody else is doing to ensure a good seal on the exhaust and intake manifold. Just painted the block and did not mask off the area around the intake and exhaust ports. Is it necessary to scrape the paint off where the intake/exhaust...

I have read that 1935 -1940 passenger car frames are all identical. My question is, will a 1940 convertible car frame be interchangeable with a 1940 truck frame? My 1940 convertible frame will require quite a lot of rust repair and I need to know what the full range of frames that I could...

This is a simple question and I have done a lot of searching and have yet to get the answer on line or by searching the barn. I have a 40 Convertible. It came with a fan mounted on the top of the engine. It is on the front of a big bulky generator with a bracket that does not look like it is...

I just picked up a 40 Ford convertible that was stored in the desert for 40 years. It has all of the normal rust issues, needs floors, rear quarter panels patches ect.. However the convertible body is solid and repairable. It still has about 85% of the original paint on it. It is fairly complete...

Hi, I have a 1940 Ford deluxe convertible (in addition to my 30 Roadster) that I want to keep original but I have no seats. Can anyone tell me in detail the differences between an original convertible front seat and a two door sedan front seat. Will the two door sedan seat fit the convertible...

Snyder's list two types of radiator hoses and say both are just like origional. Black with a red stripe and all red radiator hose. One of the Model A books I have read specifically states that Ford did not use the all red radiator hose. Don't have a judging standards book yet so what would...

Pulled the head and several studs with nuts came out together. No problem getting head off. A few more studs out with double nutting, but ended up with 7 studs that refused to come out. After a week of soaking with PB blaster and occasional tapping with a hammer I started in on it tonight...

I am going to have to pull the head on my 30 roadster and most of the nuts on the head studs have broken loose with a lot of PB Blaster. However I have a couple that came loose with the studs and I have a coulple of others that just refuse to come loose. One had the nut/stud combination move a...

I am getting ready to pull the engine from my 30 roadster and have a couple of questions that I did not find clearly answered using the search function. Question 1. To pull the engine, is it best to use the adapter that screws into the spark plug hole and if yes, do you need to use two or is...

Guess I should have asked this BEFORE I removed the oil pan baffel plate to get at the sludge in the bottom of the pan. Took a little prying on the oil pump side but it finally poped out of the grooves in the side of the pan. Got to checking out Les Andrews repair manual and he makes no...

Looks like I will be pulling my engine for some repair work. I need to get an engine stand that is Model A friendly and does not cost an arm and a leg. Any recomendations? Also do I need the adapter that bolts to the water outlet and 2 pan bolts? or will the engine safely bolt up at the end of...

I am a brand new guy to the Model A world. I have wanted one since I was 16 when my grandfather and I would go driving in my great uncle's all origional sedan that was stored at my grandfathers. So fast forward 38 years and I finally got around to getting one. I recently bought a 1930 Standard...
