I just sent this in to MARC, but this may be handy to some Barners. Don’t Start Changing Parts !!! Far too many Model A owners try to fix their car by simply exchanging parts until their car runs. This is a very long shot and you won’t learn anything. If your car ran good last week or...

Anyone know what this is? We found it in a Club Members collection we were cleaning out. Hope the picture comes through. Looks like it clamps on to a narrow member. It may not be a Model A part. Only one picture came through. I'll try again. The other pictures fail the upload?????

Need some help by you experts. A friend had his engine and trans rebuilt. The builder found some damage to the bell housing so he put another one on it. My friend puts his engine in and the pedals don’t fit the holes and the gear shift hits his instrument panel in reverse and second. It looks...

Oakleaf Model A Club will host the 2020 Michigan Roundup in the area north of Detroit. Each year, a local Michigan Club hosts a weekend meet in their area. It is a MARC function and all Michigan clubs are invited to join us. It’s a simple, fun event that takes place over the weekend, so it is...

My friend down in SC thinks he wants to sell Uncle Rudy, a 1931 Fordor Model A. I have done many videos about what we have done to and with the car. It has been in his family for about 65 years, and is quite attached to it. Here is a video I just did describing the car and referring you to...

At a club Christmas party, we sang this to the tune of My Merry Oldsmobile. Someone asked for the words, so I thought I would share it with the Barn. Wrote it a few years ago. Come ride with me René, In my brand new Model A. We will bounce around the town, And sneak home without a sound. If...

I need to replace a few tappets. How do I keep them in place when I drop the cam shaft? Engine is still in the car.

Our club in Michigan, Oakleaf, is offering membership to out-of-state MARC members who have no local club near by. We think that there may be Model A'ers out there who would like to be part of a club, even though it is just an on-line membership. They would get our news letter, videos, all e...

Let’s see if this post gets through. It’s from my phone

When I make a post from my I phone, it does not get into the system. Do I have my settings wrong? This note is not from the phone.

A Model A's Thoughts I was just thinking, when I was born, it was a big deal. I was loved by everyone. The country went wild over the new Ford. Henry couldn't build enough of us. We had a good production run of about 4 years. Back then, cars had trouble getting up the hills. Not us, we would...

I have upgraded and need to sell my '31 town sedan. Runs very good. I put over 2000 miles on it every year. Call for pictures. jack bahm 248 520 2089.

Just for info, but I ran across this today. The trans would shift ok sometimes and sometimes get stuck between second and third. No movement. Other times it was just hard to shift. We found that someone used a wrong detent on one side and it would not allow enough room for the spring to...

I have been using 45 ft.# like the red book says. Page 1-134. Someone said that this was wrong in the red book. They were listing all the errors in Les's book. They said it should be 25 to 30 ft.#. What is correct????

Need your thoughts on piston slap. I have a friend who has it, I think. How do I recognize it? How do you fix it? What does it hurt? The bore I assume.

When I put 100 ft lb on that nut to tighten it, should I use a rag in the teeth or will the fiber teeth handle it? Don't want to mess up a new gear.
