My brother (Kurt in NJ) has a dist machine. So we wanted to double check what we knew about points. We also hope to fix some bad information. At a later point in time we may create a fact based article on the points and get it published. There was a comment made about the original points maybe...

So the article about the improving the improvement of using modern points needs some references and fact checking. Original point contact brass or phospher bronze? Really??? How come all the Ford script new and well use points all have quality tungston on them? What about the pile of perfectly...

Not sure what this fits other then a 64 Model year car. The tag has C4AF-EA and A 4FC. Date code is June of 64. On the base it is stamped C4AF-DG. It is missing one rod. It has a temp compensator which I thought meant it was for AC but I could be wrong. Ask questions as you see about all I...

I am going through my stuff to clear out what I am never going to use and generate cash to build my A. I have this carb with a tag C5AF BD. It is a 4 bbl Holley and it has the correct stamp on the one side (all in the pictures). A quick look up shows it is a 427 carb what some further look at...

I am looking for a set of NOS Ford B valve lifters. To confirm they are B I would need the large diameter measured. I would also be interested in 4 NOS Ford non magnetic intake valves or 3 with R on top. Thanks, Kevin

I am interested in a set of NOS Ford B valve lifters (yes for my A engine with a NOS B cam). I will need the diameter of the large end to confirm they are correct. Also 4 Ford NOS valves for the intake, I might settle for 3 with the R on top. Must not be magnetic. Thanks, Kevin

I have about 15 oval speedos in varying used condition I do not need. I also have a few round speedos waltham and SW in not a good shape. I also have a few 1/2 original (I believe) cables in varying condition. I am considering selling bulk here over selling eBay depending on offers. Keep in...

I am just sorting through my cables. I have 4 originals it seems by my best guess. Three are 1/2" diameter which are not right for my 31. I have one 1/4" diameter cable housing that measures the 61" you would expect. I am putting them through some evaporust and two are cleaning up usable...

Without going into details at this point... Here is a guys that is making up old style oils required to run oil locomotives. Keep in mind the correct grease for the A is likely cylinder oil soda soap grease. There are certail properties that are unique and special that make it proper for the U...

It is official they will not allow the Pumpkin Run to go on in the Township. Too many complaints about the traffic by the people who live there so the township has decided to no longer allow it. You will have to find something else to do on the first Saturday in November.

The guy has some colorful language that makes it entertaining... Using Alum to remove steel from aluminum.

The areas on the round speedo dash that need a black paint. What paint was it, that is satin, flat, gloss? What paint is good to use today? How it is best done? Thanks.

A co-worker was going through some family photos and found these pictures. Can you all tell me more about the car please. Thanks!

You know I read a lot about people replacing the valves in their carbs during a rebuild. My question is, how bad are the original Zenith valves? Should they just be replaced with something new? Of course I do not say this so much off the hip. I have a pile of original valves so I took a few...

I am aware of some of the model airplane paints that were always used. They just are no available anymore. Doing a basic search for fuel proof paint I found this brand: VHT Paint It is available through a number of retailers locally to everyone. Which brings me to the question of which type...

So I have been going through my boxes of carbs looking for a nice carb that is sort of correct for my cabriolet. It is strange. It seems I have a mis-match in numbers of Holley vs Zenith tops and bottoms. I have like 8 side bowl carb tops, but certainly not enough correct era bottoms to match...

So I got a late start off to the Pumpkin Run close to 10am. I am only about 10 minutes away from the place. I expected some back up, over an hour later I get to mister golf cart in the road in front of the christian school. Show cars and parking for Flemmings is full, you can park at the...
