I would like to ask for your prayers for those in south Louisiana that were devastated by the historical floods over the weekend. I have lived in this area for my whole life (almost 55 years). I have seen some horrible hurricanes (Katrina, Gustave, and Andrew to name a few). This is as...

While I had my front end jacked up I noticed that I had some play in my driver's side front wheel. The play appears to be in the kingpin area. I have no movement top and bottom. Just side to side. What do you think the most obvious issue could be? Is there something else I should check before I...

Does this clutch pedal appear correct? This is on my 1930 coupe. My manual by Les Andrews doesn't show it with the spring.

I recently was told by one of my club members that he was considering converting to a 8 volt battery. Are there many Model A owners that have made this conversion and is there a significant advantage to doing so?

We had 4 cars from our club at an elementary school in Baton Rouge. The kids made me nervous. However, their smiles were priceless. In my opinion, this is what it is all about.

I recently installed a Powermaster 6v pos ground alternator and it has been working fine. Last night, in preparation of a club event on Saturday, I went to fill up at my local non-corn gas station at $1.69/gal. :D Rarely do I drive my A at night. Just after starting my car last night I noticed...

I have been having some issues shifting between 1st and 2nd gear. It has been going on since I bought the car 2 years ago. It first happened very rarely. As time moved on it has been becoming a little more frequent. Saturday it happened about a half a dozen times. Occasionally it seems that...

Does anyone know where to where to find the Model A lubrication chart like the one on the Ford Garage website? http://www.fordgarage.com/pages/modelalubrication.htm

For those that have installed thermostats. Did you test the thermostat prior to installing it? If so, how did you test it?

I recently installed a voltage regulator on my generator (the one that replaces the cutout). My battery discharged on my last outing. I charged the battery, cleaned the connections of a little corrosion (maybe the reason for the discharge), checked the voltage and everything seemed normal. I got...

My radiator is missing the baffle and I am losing water through the overflow. I tried the nail in the overflow and I am still losing water. I believe the flow of water from the pump must be moving the nail enough to allow water to escape through the overflow. Any suggestions?

Yesterday I attempted to change the front motor mount on my 1930 coupe to the original style mount. My current mount is a rubber style mount in the center and springs on the sides. The rubber mount is large enough that it sits under the pulley making it almost impossible to change the belt. I...

I have seen this posted before but cannot find it now. Where is the best points to check generator output with a hand held amp meter?

I am considering installing a voltage regulator and found one that looks like an original cut out. I can't seem to find one like the one installed on my generator. Here is a link to the one I am looking at...

See if you can find the Model A in this garage. http://kithannecarclub.com/brown/brown2.html

In a recent discovery, I found the steering gear box very low of oil. I ordered the 600w oil from Mac's and when I filled it up and I found a leak around the top right hand nut (the eccentric adjusting sleeve nut). My manual indicates that there a few parts that make up this housing cover...

I found a headlight bar on the internet that was listed as a Model A bar. It had oval mounting holes. All of the Model A bars that I have seen have square mounting holes. I have seen 1932 bars and bolts that have oval mounting shaped attachment. Is that the only difference in the two models? Any...

My horn seems to work most of the time when I am driving but not so well at idle or when the engine is not running. I thought I would dismantle to investigate. The motor seems fairly clean and spins freely. The diaphragm is dirty and a little rusty and the housing is a little rusty also. the...

I am a rookie Model A'er. I am considering buying a trailer to tow my Model A for longer distances. Do you guys use trailers often? What kind of distances are you comfortable driving without concern of stressing your Model A?
