We are on Tour from Mystic Seaport and one of the A's in the group has lost his timing gear. If anyone nearby has a cam nut socket and a puller, we'd be back in business.

Do any of you guys have, or know of, a running engine for sale in the southern NJ, Pa, Delaware area?

The roof fabric on my 29 Fordor leaks a lot of water if we get caught in a rain storm. I'm leaving for a New England tour in a few days and would like to put some sort of treatment on it before the trip. Has anyone tried "Flex Seal" for that?

Would any of you guys happen to know the float height setting for a Schebler S-3 ? It's on my '29 Chandler.

Where does the ball cap felt go? I'm installing an engine in my car and doing a bunch of general cleaning and repairing. There was no felt in the bell housing when I took it all apart and the Red Book doesn't mention it either. The chunk of felt that Snyder's sent me looks like it would...

I went to check my oil today and noticed that a brown oily/ water mess has come out of the radiator overflow tube and is laying around the front motor mount. Upon looking into the radiator, l see that it's chock full of this oily sludge. What's the popular opinion as to what the issue is? I...

Can someone post some pictures of a brake centering tool and explain the operation of it. I just replaced my roller tracks and don't have that tool. I'd rather make it than buy it. Thanks.

Just a heads up to the guys of the South Jersey and Philadelphia area... The Pumpkin Run Car Show at Flemings Junk Yard in Egg Harbor Township, NJ, is Saturday, November 2nd. It's a fantastic one day show, if you have never been. They usually get around a thousand cars to show up and park in...

I have my rear backing plates on the bench and am having one heck of time getting the pins out of the levers in order to replace the roller tracks. I have heated the assembly with a torch, drilled all the way though the pin and still can't get them to budge. Any tips?

Does anyone know whether Bratton's will be at Hershey and where they will be located?

When the brake pedal is depressed on my 29 Fordor, the cross shaft strikes the bottom of the torque tube, right away,and raises the whole engine/trans slightly. I found the rear engine mounts to be slightly loose and figured that would cure the issue. It didn't. I have never had the...

Can you guys recommend a shop that would do a full brake restoration on my 29? I am located near Atlantic City, NJ and even though l consider myself quite a capable mechanic, l would rather trust this task to someone with years of experience. Any comments on Schalm's Babbitted Bearings in...

Can anyone tell me what was going on in Millville, NJ today as far as a car show or a tour. We were returning from doing a parade in Pennsville, NJ and stopped for a late lunch in Millville. When we came out to our T's, a line of maybe a dozen A's and T's came rolling past.

My 28 Briggs Fordor has no wiper at this time and l would like to install a manual setup, as l have on my Model T. There are various holes in the area from past motors. In looking through the vendors catalogues, l see a manual wiper for open cars. What mods would it take to make it work on...

Has anyone been able to find an electronic flasher to run these great 6 volt LED tail lights that the vendors are selling? I bought the lights, figuring that in combination with my incandescent front signals, l wouldn't need a special flasher. Well, they work but the flash rate is too short...

I had done a post last week seeking advice as to how to make my lights better. I was considering going to an alternator and halogen bulbs with new reflectors. That approach was shot down by most and improving the existing reflectors became the hot way to go. This is a 29 Fordor that l have...

I'm seeking advice on getting more light in front of my 29. At this point, the quartz halogen kit with the modern bulbs and new (import) reflectors has my interest. I don't have an alternator yet, but am on the edge, about to jump on a NuRex 60 amp 6V. My car is a driver, and I do drive a lot...

What symptoms point to a bad condenser? My 29, which has a new distributor with modern points, acted up something terrible lat night on a 50 mile run. It started with a random miss at 45 mph, and within 15 miles, we were limping along in first gear, bucking and powerless, with an occasional...

I plan to remove the rear spring from my 29 Fordor and see that the use of a spring spreader is necessary. First off, is this true? I have removed model T springs without one, many times. Secondly, if I need one, I'd rather make it than buy it. Can someone post a picture of the spreader...

How do you set the float height on a Tillotson carb? My float is round and l see no center line to go by.
