Has anyone had trouble with the aluminum 2 blade fan wobbling on the water pump shaft. Had replaced the water pump and installed an aluminum fan a coupe of years ago. Now the fan blade is hitting the water pump housing at the front of the water pump making a lot of noise. Tightened the nut on...

Found an electronic flasher for those of you that have converted to LED tail lights and front signal lights. This electronic flasher eliminates the need to have a resistor in the circuit to make the flasher work with LED lights. The source is superbrightleds.com. The number is FL3-Red-K and...

Friend of mine looking for manuals for a 40 Ford. Anyone know of a source or has them let me know.

Got over to Dick Headman's garage the other day when he was there to get some pictures of the Locomobile.

One of my neighbors just purchased a 1914 Locomobile. What a large auto. This one is a chauffeured town car. The chauffer was in an enclosed area and not open like other vehicles of the time. It had an electric start, generator, lights etc. Every wire ran in its own conduit. The owner just...

Here are the pictures resized so that you can see the vehicle.

One of our neighbors is having another neighbor build the engines and other gear for his 3 Model T's. Here are some pictures of the current 1910 T in progress. Has quite a few mods, 3 speed ****** after regular ******, accelerator pedal, alternator, wire wheels, starter, split exhaust manifold...

A friend just purchased 3 T's over the course of a couple of months. One is a '26, and another is a '12 do not remember the 3's year. The '12 engine is reported to be the hand built ones and he wants to keep it original in every way along with the chassis. One will be made into a speedster...

Friend asked me to go over and look at an Original '30 Murray Bodied 4-door on Tuesday of next week. The owner says 46K original miles and has never been restored. Has a little surface rust below the cowl on both sides and some on the bottom of the doors. Will have to see to be sure. Has...

Have later style generator after Power House. Set the Current to 8 Amps at high idle, then checked the voltage with a analog voltmeter and it is just over 8 volts which in my opinion is too high. What do other people get at the output of the generator when at this current setting. Power...

I have a Power House Generator 3-brush type that the commutator is shorted. Zero ohms all around the commutator segments to other segments. Does anyone know who rewires these or have a good commutator? The field coils are good and has new bearings so only need a commutator. Even the bakelite...

My neighbor, Bob Headmon of Headmon Hedders is working on another neighbor's '26 and '28 Pierce Arrow Cars. It is hard to believe the items on these vehicles that did not come on other cars for years later. On the '26 there is a turn signal that operates off the floor shift that turns on a...

The cork on my fuel gauge must have absorbed gas as does not read correctly. Showed empty but when tried filling gas, pump kept shutting off and saw gas in the gauge window. Have heard about changing the cork float to a tillitson carb float but cannot see how to do that. If anyone has made...

Does anyone know if Modelawipers is still in business? Have sent them an email and called on the phone and left a message. Need some parts for the OwensDyneto wiper on a Sept '28 Fordor. Some of the parts are not in the catalogues from the major suppliers.

Does anyone have the break-apart diagram for the Owens Dyneto OC 1 or OD 1 windshield wiper? Got all the parts in a box with the car about 10 years ago and have finally decided to put it back togather when I get all the knobs, wiper arm and base. Tried the motor by itself and it runs so worth...

My Tillotson carb is leaking out around the top of the Fuel Adjusting needle housing. Any recomendations on how to correct this? Could it be the float setting too high? Have also purchased a repair kit for the shut-off valve as the valve seems to be leaking ever so slightly and filling the...

Know this has been asked multiple times, but want to find the number of '28 Model A's produced and the number of Leather Backs produced for chart for show on Saturday. Get this question many times and do not know the answer.

Anyone know how to take a slight bow out of the top of a Tillotson Carb. The top plate is not flat and leaks some fuel out of the gasket between the throat of the carb and the front of the carb. The lower portion of the carb can be flattened perfectly with some wet or dry sandpaper with some...

Water pump shaft will not move forward so no end play, but found the fan loose on the water pump shaft again. Will purchase one of the new aluminum 2 blades to see if the problem goes away. Thanks to all who answered my posting.
