A few years ago I sold my 40 Ford at Carlisle Pa swap meet. The buyer was from North Dakota. I wouldn't sign the title over until I heard from my Bank that the money was indeed transferred to my account. Took about an hour. Now I will be at Carlisle again this year selling one and maybe buying...

When the weather breaks I'm thinking about painting the fenders and running board aprons. Other than removing the fenders, running boards, taking up the floor, disconnecting the steering column, to raise the body up to get the aprons out, what if anything do I have to do to paint the black...

Machine Shop question. I was never in the position to how they replace the sleeves in an engine. Are the old sleeves pressed out, new sleeves pressed in? What holds them in place after there in? Just a jam fit? Might sound like a newbe question, but I never seen the process done.

About a month ago or so, someone posted a topic about chairs. everyone takes those bag chairs that sag after time...there hard to get back out of....they break etc. Last year I bought a couple of chairs on sale from Harbor Freight (HF) on sale for 19.95. They work great. There very sturdy, no...

Almost ready to install oil pan. I read the threads in "search" and come away more confused than ever. Instructions with cork from Snyder's say don't use any other sealer with gasket. Instructions in Search link from a engine builder in Washington say I need Permatex aviation Form -A- Gasket...

Did the tests that was suggested with the first thread.....removed the plug from the side of the block....turned the engine over and oil shot out just by cranking the starter for a second so I new that was working the way it should......pan and inside the engine was clean as a...

About a week ago I was reading a thread about knocking noise for about 30 seconds at start up. Suggestions were to short #s 2& 3 spark plugs to confirm it's slop in in the middle main Babbitt. Questions....is that a sure fire way to determine that? I did that and no change. That test and after...

I've been reading the thread about modern gas filters and I seen dirty leg mentioned a few times. I know I'll probably hear comments about asking a dumb question but what is a dirty leg. A type of filter? I've been on the A site for 3 years and the early V8 for five and never heard that term.

I have a chance to get a replacement transmission that came from a model A pickup. I want to use it in my 28 tudor. Question is are they identical?

I got a knock at start up on my 30 Phaeton. It goes away after about a minute or so. Tried shorting out cylinders 2 and 3 while knocking, produced no change. I use Rotella 15w40 oil, it's clean and up to level. Engine has about 1000 mi. on it. Any thought would be appreciated.

Less than a thousand miles on the car since a lot of time and money spent getting it road worthy and as safe as a model A can be. Snyders 5.5 head, rebuilt brakes, turn signals, seat belts, short pitman arm, easy steer kit, F1 steering box, heavy duty radiator, to many other parts to list here...

Question...Which way does the axel key go in this is a 30 Phaeton. I don't want to pull the drum again, it was a real bear getting off.

Question, my 30 Phaeton does not have a vacuum port on the manifold...or any place else that I can see. Is it supposed to?

Got an email ad from Mikes A Fordable for a sale on lug nuts and washers. I got two As and neither one had washers. Are they supposed to? One of my fellow barners enlighten me.

Old subject I know......just looked thru the search section and couldn't find a previous thread about steering box oil. I just rebuilt my 2 tooth and if I'm not mistaken I read some guys were using STP. I think it calls for 600W which really isn't 600W according to the label on the bottle from...

Does anyone make a enamel primer surfacer in a spray can? Local stores around here just have lacquer primer surfacer. I need enamel.

Saw this on ebay....31 rumble seat coupe. Sounds to good to be true. Item 201422184814 Thought coupes were going for a little more than that.

Just to get another opinion, if you can tell by the picture if the cluster gear and slider are junk. This is from a spare transmission that I was going to rebuild. Do to the cost of new gears and some doubt of the quality of new gears, I'm having second thoughts.

I have a spare transmission I want to rebuild. According to the Les Andrews book many changes were made over the years and I want to be sure I order the right parts for the transmission. So far, all I know is on the transmission I want to rebuild the hand brake is in front of the shifter. On my...
