Try as I might, always some stumper pops up <G>. After switch rod arrived, I bought final pieces at Zephyrhills today to complete lighting/horn assembly on the steering column: spring, spider, retainer, the light switch body and the switch bail. I see where switch body has an upper and lower...

Tried over at HAMB to figure out what to do to get axel grease cups on my 30 axel with my '32 16" wheels . Ordered '30 cups not knowing they would be too tall for the '35 hub caps. Think someone referenced the 'ego axel length.. Never had a car without grease cups and wonder if necessary on my...

Someplace I read about adjusting handle to a specific number of clicks.. My brake handle clicks twice but doesn't,t hold on a slight driveway grade? Before I get into pulling the rear drums, I would like to try whatever adjustment is possible... I see maybe 1/2-3/4" of adjustment on the...

Don't want to break anything so... Outer ring removed but remaining assembly appears stuck although it can rotate. Thought I'd ask for suggestions. Thanks, Dick

My 30A came without the subject and I'm ready to install an assembly if: I can determine if the two-tooth is a Gemmer (?) or Ford and therefore needs a 43 or 44" shaft?? I'd rather not cut off and thread anything. I'm studying the MAC's catalog picture but unable to measure with nothing there...

Any way to recover the illegible engine number. Firewall has a number but still would like the engine number. Seems like I remember guns with serial numbers removed and number being recovered somehow. Thanks, Dick

seems to cheap me that model A parts are expensive to ship and wondering if any way to reduce the cost. $10 to ship a $9.99 item seems darn steep to me . do any big name auto parts places handle A parts? Dick Lakeland, Fl

Does manifolds/carb assembly have to be removed before valve cover & oil return pipe? Is exhaust manifold torqued in steps to the 25-39? is last step hot? Thanks, nearing reassembly with new Manifold gasket and just thinking. thanks! DICK

Previous owner changed to 12vdc and routed a bunch of wire through the sheetmetal corner of the lower firewall and under cowl side panel as seen from engine side. Even from under the car, I can't see exactly where they come through but am a big believer in grommets for safety. Les Andrews...

Kind of hate to admit it but my newly acquired 30A generates a lot of smoke/smell. Have pulled it outside onto driveway to work on buut Property Owners Association gets on me. Since thinking an engine rebuild may be in order.Would appreciate some thoughts an handling smoke/smell. Am...

no matter how I try, my GAV is orientated with the inside cockpit knob indicator at 10 o'clock and not 12 o'clock. doesn't bother me except to wonder why. the GAV feels seated fully??

What is a "hot air pipe", where and what is it supposed to do? Mentioned in a post regarding "rough running". Noticed no one uses a dwell meter or mentions vacuum gage. Why? Is there a vacuum port someplace? Is it a hole or just depression that the timing pin drops into for static timing...

throttle rod does not hold past 3 oclock position. I wanted to set rpm up a little without using pedal. anything I can fix/adjust? my GAV seems hard to rotate. can I lube the cable inside the jacket somehow? Thanks, Dick

probably just newbe-itis but several things have me wondering. 1. rotor to body gap varies. body can move about unless cap on and latches secured. not sure how to measure rotor/body gap with this lossness. Do new caps usually fit tighter even without "latches" secured? I don't remember this...

back in my day these were spring loaded and eassily disconnected. don't know why but can't get any disconnected by hand. Help an old turkey.. Dick

after a mile or so drive today, it appears there is a fuel leak where the press-in tube containing the GAV enters the carb body. The tube appears to not be fully seated. Looking at MAC's assembly illustration, perhaps I'm describing the adjusting needle housing... checking the previous owners...

Never had an unpressurized cooling system before. Always had a temp gage & overflow can. Fellow who sold car said steam out cap is usually overfilling radiator.... Radiator cap seems to be a loose fit and has an internal tube projecting above the last core piece & going to the frame level...

new guy here. question is how to remove instrument panel without affecting the gas gage lever & float. I need to review wiring and inop ammeter before adding my turn lite system and somewhat straightening out the sloppy wiring. Apparently the car was converted to 12vdc negative ground &...

My recently purchased 30 A 2-door sedan has no horn button on the steering column, just a decorative flat plate, and no discernable "notches" felt as mentioned in starting procedure. Someone previously installed a horn button on the side panel by the left foot. My question is how many...
