Still messing with carb issues, but making some headway. The issue now is that no matter where I set the air/fuel mixture from inside the cab, there's no difference. Engine still runs even when it's fully closed. The needle valve looks to be in good shape. Perhaps the seat is worn or something...

What's the best Zenith rebuild kit and where do I get it? thanks, rex

Driving my '30 Model A coupe after a lengthy restoration. A complete engine rebuild with a Bumfield head was part of the project. I'm not sure I'm getting the power out of it I should expect, although I don't know what to expect. As it is, I'm not sure I could get up a steep hill without...

I'm having continuous problems with bad fuel in my 1930 coupe. It seems the Model A carb is more susceptible to it than in any of my other cars. The latest tank fouled the carb in just a few weeks. Any suggestions for stopping this other than buying clear gas? (Station is too far away) Also...

I can’t open the drivers door of my ‘30 coupe from the outside. The slide lock seems to be engaged, even though it’s slid all the way to the unlocked position. If I remove the two screws from the slide lock, allowing me to move it even further in the unlocked direction, I am then able to turn...

I was ready to install the engine/transmission into my '29 truck when I noticed a twist in the wishbone. It's bent at the weld near the passenger side bend (near the ball). I've tried to straighten it in my press, but no go. Any pointers on how to approach this?

I'm trying to remove the door handle off my '30 pickup. It's the locking outside handle. Everything else is off, including all the screws and the inside handle. The latch mech on the edge of the door is unscrewed. The book says to turn the handle 1/4 turn to the left and pull out. Nothing...

I have '30 rusty truck. Trying to remove the door hinge pins. I've used penetrating oil, heat, paraffin, everything I can think of. They don't budge. I'm thinking of grinding the round head off and drilling through, but I'm not sure this is going to get it either. What's the recommended...

My car has '39 - '48 brakes on it. Trying to remove spring on rear brakes. Only one spring that spans between the shoes. Is there a tool for this?

All the bolts holding my gas tank in are seized by years of rust. I saw one post that said to use heat, however I'm not too keen on using heat near the gas tank. I'm also a little skeptical that I'm going to get all the bolts out even using heat. This truck is so rusty you can't even tell...

I would like to put a 3 point harness in my 1930 coupe, or a least a set of lap belts. I'm sure this has been done many times before. Any plans/instructions out there?

I'm in the process of wiring my 1930 coupe. I can't seem to find any information that explains wire routing, where to put the clips, what kinds of clips to use, etc. I understand the wiring diagrams fine; I just don't know the details of how to properly install the wires in the car. For...
