Hello and goodbye. I joined the Ford Barn in 2012, but lurked around a bit before that. I gathered information and opinions on the Ford Model A and the people that own them. I was cautioned by other auto enthusiasts that there are purists who scoff at non original, modified or modern...

Is this a hard swap barring any repair I find I need to make? My frame is sagging on the passenger side behind the rear motor mount causing a hood alignment problem on the pass side. My driver side door hangs 1/2 low on the belt line alignment. No rust outs on the car body or frame. I have an...

If you drive your A in the cold months, ensure you give it a good run to get it hot enough to evaporate the condensation in the crankcase. I drove the other day in 27 degree weather for 10 miles or so. After pullin' in the garage I took a look inside the breather cap, and it had a thin coating...

Got my 5.5 head back from the machine shop last night, .008 to flatten the surface, spray bomb engine green. Wa lah, nice new head and rebuilt pop-out. Three heat cycles later for re-torqueing and I'm impressed at the power increase and the drivability. Best power seems to be just short of...

Without all the details, I will post if ya like, I purchased a 28-29 HD replacement radiator for my driver. Its the one that goes for 585. at the vendors. American made brass and copper(not as heavy gage as original). Fits like a glove, and does what its supposed to do. I cleaned my engine as...

As I was out driving the Model A this morning putting a smile on the faces of my fellow jersey shore town residents, all fell silent and power was lost. The engine died, and as I was coasting to the side of the county road, 15 miles from home, my brain went into overdrive as to what the problem...
