    Diver's Helmet distributor question

    Messing about with a 41 Ford, and need to know how to get the inner caps off. Do they just slip into the dist body? Distributor is still in the car, so I can't really see if there are any screws holding them in.

    Pull the trans, or pull the engine?

    Fixing to tear apart my coupe and see why the clutch won't work. As far as ease of removal, which is less work? Pulling the engine, or pulling out the rear-end and transmission?

    Weird engine number: RF4504

I plan to straighten out the mess, but in the meantime I have a few questions: Will 1/4" tube be adequate to run the...

    Ignition wiring WITHOUT Pop-out switch?

    I'm new to the Model A, am attempting to get it fired up. I tried searching, but haven't really found anything relevant. My distributor does not have a lower plate or condenser in it. The cable housing from inside the cab doesn't have anything in it except a wire, and it was connected to the...

    Late '31 fuel valve--Thread size?

    As the title suggests: What size are the threads on the late '31 fuel shut-off? Dug through my stash of fittings, and nothing seemed to work. Thanks

    My First

    I've wanted a Model A since I was a kid. When my father was just out of high school, he bought and hot-rodded a 31 coupe. It was his first car. The coupe was long gone when I came along, but he always told stories about that car, and I always dreamed of one day buying and building a car like the...
