Hi, I have a constant seep of antifreeze from the top of my top radiator hose to neck connection. I've tried new hoses but found the problem to be a few VERY SMALL dings or flat spots on surface in the radiator neck. I Tried all the usual steps, a little grease on the outside of the neck & etc...

Hi guys, I'm following up on my post from about 6 weeks ago. I'm delighted yo say the new 2 pc. (screw in type) crankshaft pulley & oil slinger is installed and no leaks yet. I tested it over the course of a few weeks with some hard pulls on a few long steep hills and all is dry, so far, after...

I searched the threads but couldn't find the posting about where it was that had the radial tires and tubes that featured free shipping. Any input?

I just read about the 7.8 quake that struck this morning. I hope all our fellow Model A'ers are safe and sound and none of your A's were damaged.

Just looking thru the Les Andrews Mechanic's Handbook on reinstalling the brake drums and there is no mention of packing the rear wheel bearings with W/B grease, as is instructed on the front bearings & hubs, I have always packed the rears the same as the front, is this an oversight in the book...

Just to post a follow up on my toe in / camber post from few weeks ago: have toe in right at 1/8" or slightly under but in a very careful camber check found out the left (passenger ) wheel has 13/16 to 7/8 camber, Top leaning out, at top to bottom of 19" rim and right (drivers) side only has...

I have read different toe in spec's and I'm under the impression that about 1/8" is correct at about 16" high on a mid May 1930 production model (Tudor). Also some claim 3/16" is correct. Mine is set at 1/8" now and steering box is very good with much less than 1" play in the wheel but I do get...

The in frame door latches on my 30 Tudor are badly worn. Are the nuts that the adjusting screws thread into welded to the back of the body? It looks like any easy replacement as long as I don't need to get into the parts behind the latch screws?:confused:

I have a 12 volt Optima battery in my 30' Tudor and I will be storing the A in an unheated garage this winter (Western PA) I was looking at a battery float maint/charger that mentioned "for wet lead acid & gel battery". i'm thinking that the Optima fits in the gel category?

Any suggestions from you guys out there on a cure for leaky tire bead to rim seal on those tubeless tires on those lawn tractor & snow blower wheels, other than going the tube route? Did the usual clean the rim scenario but since weeks can go by between use it's a constant flat tire worry and a...

Anyone in Western MD panhandle, S. W. PA or N. WV there is a Modal A & T meet at the pedestrian mall in downtown Cumberland on Saturday September 21 from 10:00 to 4:00. Some very nice vehicles and nice folks, I'll be there weather permitting.

Hi Guys, does anyone have a suggestion on a good place to purchase seat covers (front) for my 30 Tudor? My seats aren't in bad condition but are starting to show some fabric wear and could use some protection, it seems the only off the shelf seat covers I can find are all for modern high back...

Just put the old girl back together after a head gasket failure & discovered I have a drip from the bottom of the radiator, the local radiator shop no longer repairs radiator, just replaces them, so now either I tear it back out & take it about 50 miles to the nearest shop or try some stop leak...

Checking the valve lash and on the spec's of .13 int. & .15 exh. all mine are .12 int. & .13 exh. Is that really important enough to try to correct or close enough for all practical purposes?

Putting a thermostat in the old girl & there's no spec's on direction. Does the hollow side with the button & spring go toward the block or toward the radiator?

Is it possible to remove accelerator linkage assembly while engine is in the vehicle (30 Tudor). I have the head off & can't seem to find a way to remove assembly, no matter which way I try to take it out it hangs up on the firewall or the block/flywheel housing. Mine has developed slippage in...

Finally got the head off my 30' Tudor today & there was plenty of evidence of coolant in # 3 cylinder & an area of the gasket appeared damaged between the cylinder & water jacket area near the exhaust valve on #3. I will still examine the port & valve area closely but if all is well there that...
