I drive my A in all weather, all seasons....but was unwilling to drive at night because of the single drum taillight that has a running/parking light about as bright as a bic lighter. (it's a 28 - left side only) I added a 'third eye' inside the rear window that is great for daytime...

I'm considering changing out the ring/pinion from 3.78 to 3.27 in order to lower my rpm 15% and not change the original appearance of the car. Anyone driving a 3.27 have any good or bad comments on the 3.27? I already know that it requires a strong engine and the 3.27 is more expensive. (but...

Do you see what I see? A key, a key staring me in the face. (sorry, the season got to me) Another itsy bitsy, teeny weeny (don't say it) problem.

Does anyone know if a headlight reflector exists that will take a H4 bulb and will fit inside the standard 28 headlight housing?

It just didn't look right... Do you see it?

Not specifically A oriented but since so many of us work on our own cars I thought I would share this

It's like stepping back in time as hundreds of Model A's and their owners transform the tiny town of Sharon Wisconsin. The town itself starts the picture of the 1930's with the sleepy small town look with small shops and building facades but when you add blocks and blocks of Model A's lining the...

Don't you just hate it when you preemptively replace a part so as to avoid a failure only to have the new part fail within 20 minutes? Fired up the new engine and took it around the block. Re-torqued head and went to fire it up. Crank but no start. Problem found - Armored ignition cable -...

Why doesn't my water pump work anymore? It is the correct color. Let the analysis begin.........:D

I'm looking to identify the o-ring "packing" that I have in my coolant pump. I can find nothing like it out there but it works so well in conjunction with the rear seal that I want to put it in the 3 pumps I am overhauling. It consists of a brass insert with a seal and two o-rings. Anyone seen...

Looking to see how many 1928 Briggs Leatherback (60-A) are on the barn. Specifically, are there any in the IL-WI area? I haven't seen another since i put mine together a year ago.

Should the front oil pan bolts be over the rear lip of the front crossmember or behind it? I would expect that the entire engine should be behind the cross-member except the pulley...but.... With the hand-crank aligned the oil pan bolts are resting on front cross-member. The front motor mount...

1st and 3rd do not make any noise but second gear whines like a truck. Is that normal? Gears show no wear and lube is full. everything behaves right but the 2nd gear whine is annoying.

Are there no variations on the transmission from 28-31? I see no entries in the standards manual. (To be clear - the transmission. ......not the tower or bell housing.)

can the plug hole engine lifts safely lift engine with flywheel and transmission? Would 1 & 4 be the best plug holes to use? Anyone have these damage a head or fail? I like the simplicity but cautious as i have never pulled the weight of an engine on spark plug holes before.

I have tried to PM 2 of you and the system says your PM box is full. If you want to sell stuff we have to be able to communicate. Please clear out some old messages so you can get new ones. Thank you. (we now return you to your regularly scheduled program, already in progress)

Before I start cutting and welding...does anyone have plans for a engine / engine_transmission stand already on paper? Specifically I'm looking for a roll around, supporting the engine at the four engine pan bolt points of the oil pan, not the engine mount points. This would be more of a...

There is something wrong with both pictures and there is a relation. Do you know what it is? (I'll wager Brent and Tom know)

Would you believe I rubbed the paint off and the opacity went with it? (This should be better than safety chrome)

Has anyone isolated their engine pans? I ran the car yesterday with the pans off and a lot of vibration was missing. I put the pans back on and the vibration is back. During the summer I saw a tremendous decrease in cooling with the pans off so leaving them off is not an option. What I am...
