I have negative camber (inside wear on both front tires) on my 39' coupe. First, let me explain: My coupe has a '40 frame and fenders, with a '39 body and drive train. I also have a 4" dropped front axle. I also had mechanical interference with the front axle, which resulted in a hard ride...

Model T hack/truck rear fenders (flat on both sides).

Hi, every once in a while, when I go to start our '39, the starter locks up and all I get is the clicking of the starter relay. My solution is to put the transmission in 3rd and rock the car until I hear it "pop". What is the cause and can it be repaired? Can I just continue to operate it this...

I have older style Offy heads on my '39 coupe and I have been using 437 plugs, based on an earlier (15+ years ago) recommendation. Is this still a good recommendation?

I have tried using a 3/8" socket extender (too small) and a 1/2" one (too big) to remove each of the plugs. It appears that the plugs have been rounded inside. I have also used a flat head screwdriver with the 3/8" but no joy. Suggestions???? PS: I also have a Columbia 2-speed attached that...

We have a '29 roadster with a stock engine, including the old distributor. I have a problem that I cannot resolve. The engine is running on only 3 cylinders. And it is an ignition problem. While running, I am able to short our each plug with a std Mark 1 Mod 0 screwdriver, see a spark and the...

Looking for what Mac calls "Fender Apron Front Nose Section" part number 28-21630-1 (for the right side). Looking for both left and right side.

I am running two Stromberg 97 carbs on my '39 coupe. Runs great, but backfires, thru exhaust, while idling. This usually, I am told, means a lean mixture. However, the backfire seems to go away when I use the choke (don't know whether it's the higher rpm or the chocking that does it)...

I recently did some work on my drive train and did so by removing the rear end, spring and all. I removed the spring to make some repairs, and have mated the spring to the rear end. I am now in the process of re-installing, but am having some difficulty. The spring fits into the channel and I...

I am able to rotate my tie rod about 20 degrees. Is that acceptable? If not, is there an adjustment that I can make or do I need to replace my tie rod ends?

Can someone describe, in detail, the speedometer drive gearing on a Model A. I understand the general workings (spline on shaft/pickup gear housing, cable, etc). But is the spline gear permanent on the shaft (just rotates) or does it also slide front to back on its shaft? Why does it slide...

I have a generator in our Model A roadster. It is set according to descriptions that I have seen here (8 amps with lights off; 0 amps with lights on). My problem is this: If I operate the horn with the lights on, the ammeter drops to negative 8, and the horn barely makes a sound. With the...

I have a '28 roadster with positive ground 6 v battery and a generator. I keep burning out headlight bulbs. I have the generator set for 10 amps with the lights on. Suggestions?

Hey guys, need some help. We have a Columbia 2-speed on our '39 coupe and need instructions on how to adjust. It was working just fine, but the clutch pedal was a little low and adjusted it. Having done so, now the 2-speed doesn't shift. Looked for a thread but found none. Help??? (And any...

Started replacing rear brake shoes on our '28 roadster, std and e-brake, and noticed that I do NOT have a grease baffle (at least on the right rear). Is that a problem or did the early '28s not have them?

Got a few comments/questions on our '28 roadster light switch: 1. Have a 7, 6, 5 and 4 position. No joy in any of those positions. But I do get lights on in the 3 position. Problem? Fix? 2. I can hold the light switch at the end of the steering column with my hand and rotate it nearly a...

I am having difficulty with the horn on our '28 roadster. the problem appears to be the connection from the wiring harness to the central terminal on the light switch contact plate. Over the years, the terminal lug from the harness over the contact terminal has slid off, and been reconnected...
