Hi All, Building up a distributor the other day and got to thinking about an old Pontiac I used to have.. It had spring weights on the arms of the rotor that would change the advance curve as the engine spun up. For the 'Modern' model A, I have seen the electronic ignitions and the auto...

Hi Folks, Picked up a little 30 coupe, and sure enough, the title # and the motor # do not match (surprise-surprise :) ) I am getting ready to lift the body from the frame and see if I win the VIN lottery and can 1) Find a readable number 2) The number matches the title so my questions...

Hi All, Had a fellow PM me on a source for self-resetting circuit breakers that can be snapped into the fuse holder many of us mount on our starters. I use them to do work on the electrical system and to help me chase down ghosts and shorts in the wiring without having to buy a whole...
