I am having difficulty determining where the small springs that hold the e-brake band in place. I'm assuming the spring for upper part of the band attaches to the small tab with a hole in it over to the vent hole on the e-brake band carrier. It seems to fit and pull the band back in place. It's...

I've tried and tried to find some info concerning pitting a T5 transmission in a Model A. Can someone direct me to a past thread or better yet provide any experience with a T5 in their Model A? Thanks.

My '29 Tudor has an older black paint job that has lots of dried white wax built up in the body seams. I want to remove it without using a wheel, preferring to do it by hand. I searched here, you tube and other car sites without success as to what to use to remove the dried wax. Could something...

What is the general census for what to use to free up a set of frozen shocks? I'm in no rush so I'd like to set them in a bucket full of ??? and just let them soak until I get/make the time to work on them. I've read that ATF and acetone is the hot ticket but I've also read that there is new...

The front visor on my '29 Tudor has a bow in it. It just doesn't look right to me. Is it suppose to have the bow or is it suppose to be straight across? Most vendors have a new reproduction visor available which I'm thinking of buying if my is screwed up with the bow. Has anyone used a repro...

I read through earlier posts looking for information concerning piston rings for a Model A and found that the majority of posters recommended Hastings brand rings. What I wasn't able to find was any corresponding part number(s). Could someone that has the part numbers please provide them so I...

Before I get beat up, I tried to find the answers through a search but couldn't find any. (I don't have good luck with the site's search function) So I thought I'd just ask them. 1. What quantity of engine oil do you use when changing it? I thought I read somewhere that most people use less...

I'm installing a Model B distributor in my '29 Model A. I found that the spark plug wires that were fitted to the Model A components are too short for the B dist. What wires should I use? The later Model A wires or are there Model B wires available? Thanks.:confused:

I pulled down the front radius rods from the bell housing to see what a previous owner might have done. I found that he replaced the stock set up with the after market cast metal housings and the rubber ball. The ball was dry, no grease at all. Should it be dry or have a coat of grease? I will...

Earlier this week I got my '29 Tudor running after installing a different Model A engine in it a few months ago. After tracing down a electrical short it seems to be OK except while out on a 'test' drive the engine would just quit. This was after 4 right hand turns at low speed 2 different...

I'm installing new repo brake rods and am finding that the clevis ends are not aligning with the cross shaft arms very well. I actually have to pull on the rod sideways to pull the clevis end to fit into the arm. What's up with that? I'm sure the arms on the backing plates are straight...

I'm doing a quick check of the brakes on my '29 Tudor and have a situation that is not addressed on line or in print (that I can find) and could use some help with. I took apart the front brakes, cleaned all the parts, replaced the roller pins, springs and operating pins. Everything looks and...

The coil on my '29 does not have any + or - markings on it. Does it matter how the two wires are connected to the coil? :confused:

Is there a way to tag or flag the posts that I respond to or just want to follow? I'm not that old (66) but sometimes can't remember which posts I found interesting. CRS! Thanks:)

I did a search but didn't find any posts that suggested what to use to soften large rubber pieces such as floor mats. The mats in my '29 Tudor look as they are kind of new but have been sitting for a while and are flexible but will crack if I try to fold or roll them. Does anyone have any...

Hello all. I have a B distributor that I want to use in my '29 Tudor, What all do I have to change to make it work besides the popout switch? What wiring has to be changed? I've read that the timing setting is different but I'll address that when I'm about to start the car, a few weeks from now...

Does anyone have experience in removing water stains on upholstery interior panels? Is there a technique, product or tip you had any success with? I read on-line that a mixture of vinegar and water may break it up. Then some one told me to try Resolve for carpets. I don't know how long the...

I bought a repo female dove tail kit for my '29 Tudor and looked at the pieces and can't figure out the best (easiest) way to install them. Do I install one of the rubber pieces into the door holder then the brass piece then the other rubber piece? Or, put both rubber pieces in the door then...

The back glass I removed from my car is so poorly cut there is differences of 1/8" to 1/4" in it's height. I'm replacing it with safety glass as I did for the door windows. I looked on page 250 in the Service Bulletins and found the dimensions but because the dimensions they have for the door...
