Is Randy Gross still selling the F-100 rebuilt steering box to fit a 1930 Model A? Old age and even older shoulders make this conversion an appealing thought.

I have a vintage Wig-Wag License Topper that will wig, but not wag. I have secured a couple of the wires, but I obviously have not achieved something correct to have it wag back and forth. I do not understand the mechanism to create the magnetic pull and then the release for the spring to go...

I have a stripped zerk fitting on my steering spindle. I cleaned it and used some JB Weld but a day later when I applied pressure from the grease gun it blew out again. Can I tap it with another size fitting? Are there over sized zerks? Thanks

I have two of the Wagner 6 Volt Alternators with their Fit Kits and am pleased with them, but I am trying to reach them and I can't seem to get the web site to open and their phone goes to message and hangs up. It might be on my end, but I was wondering if they were still open.

One of my winter projects is to have my horn professionally gone over. Are there recommendations of places to consider. Thanks in advance.

I have just purchased 5 of the American Classic radial tires. I can not find new 19 inch tubes that are radial compatible. I have checked with Snyder's, Coker, Bratton's, and Sacramento Ford. Snyder's and Coker that are compatible are back ordered indefinitely. Bratton's and Sacramento Ford...

I have a good friend who is wondering what would be a good top dressing for an original top. This car has been in his family since it was new, and he wants to keep it original and not install a new vinyl top. His top shows evidence of tiny cracks and does leak in rain. Since he is not yet a...

At the recommendation of many on the Barn, I have been using Rotella 15-40 oil in my Model A. A recent article in The Model A Times advocates not using a Diesel Oil. Has that changed the minds of any of you who like me have been using Rotella 15-40?

I have changed an axle and am using a good original castle nut. My problem is that from a torque range of 90 to 125 it does not line up with the axle key hole. I do not have another nut to try and I am going to call Bert's this morning as some have said another nut may line up differently. At...

I recently changed a rear axle and when I removed the backing plate the front bolts on the backing plate that are connected to the radius rod were loose (the bolt could be turned with the nut tight) . After changing the axle, when I replaced the backing plate those bolts even when tightened all...

This may be a question that makes no difference, but when installing a new spring shackle do you have the grease hole pointing down or pointing up. After replacing the bushings and new shackles, I can't get my front spring shackles to take grease. All parts are new.so I don't know what I might...

Now that our touring season is complete in the Midwest, thoughts and work starts for next years touring. I plan on getting a good Bluetooth speaker and some Model A Era music for enjoyment while driving and for effect at events. Does anyone have collections for sale, list of bouncy songs, or...

I am removing my head that was torqued repeatedly to 55# and stayed at 55# on repeated routine checks. When I removed it, 7 studs came out with the nut and only 7 nuts came off the studs. When I installed the studs 9,000 miles (2 Year) ago I did not use any sealant, just anti seize. I will be...

I've been looking at the Jeweled Dash Light Covers for the 28-early 30 dash lights, and there seems to be different choices in this aftermarket accessory. Some have only red, blue and green jewels, and some have amber as well. I assume there were multiple sources of period production, but is...

I have a Snyder's 5.5:1 head on a AER touring engine and I just blew my head gasket. I had a copper B gasket with copper kote on both sides. I have not removed the head yet, but I want another copper gasket and would like to use the one that people have had good luck with. Thanks
