Background info is: 6 volt generator with a New Rex diode cut out. Battery is 3 years old seems good.... 3rd brush all the way up, (lowest charging possible). Grounds are clean. Problem: When daytime driving (high idle +) the voltmeter I have on the battery will keep going up all the way to...

Can someone tell me the size & thread? Thanks in advance! Also the length if possible.

There was a horrible crash in Temple City California involving a Model A yesterday killing both passengers. Names have not been released. I am sure we might know them. See the link below http://abc7.com/news/2-killed-after-antique-car-crashes-into-tree-bursts-into-flames/964783/

Since I had so much problem getting a "professionally" rebuilt Zenith I ordered this Zenith 13922 for the car because of some of the comments I saw on the Barn. User seemed to like them. I thought I would share my experience and thoughts on this carburetor. I installed it this morning and yes...

I had an old Zenith carburetor that I thought I would send in as a core and get a "professionally" rebuilt carb. I sent it and received a rebuilt Zenith. I put it on and as soon as I turned on the fuel it leaked like a river. It was coming out of the atmospheric vent. So I assumed the float...

What do most of you use? Modern points or Original Points? Below is why I am asking. When I went to time my Engine as in the picture and instructions Purdy and Tom posted I noticed something different. What I discovered is that someone changed to the V8 or "Modern" points and plate. I figured...

Is it common to purchase a rebuilt Zenith Carburetor only to have it leak out of the choke throat after you shut it down? I would assume the float is set too high and it was not tested before it left the rebuild shop. Ruling out a bad float valve, bad casting, contaminated gas and float not...

I am rebuilding Tillitson carb. I am having trouble getting the main jet out of the bottom of the bowl. I tried to use a screwdriver but it seems really stuck. I don't want to force it to hard because it's brass. I don't want to use heat as this is a die cast carb and would the heat would...

I have a rattle that gets loud just before shifting from 2nd to third coming from the steering column. I suspect the spark & throttle lever rods. I need to get in there and was wondering if someone could tell me how to remove the horn button and light switch so I could remove the steering...

I wonder if I can get some advice. I just rebuilt two Zenith carbs for the 31 Tudor. I can't get that sewing machine idle from either carb. Power is good, no backfiring or stuttering. Good throttle response. It idles but not as smooth as I think it should. I installed flow tested jets...

I Need to change the oil in the trans on the Tudor. Does anyone use an additive? Same thing with the rear end. I heard, (from another Model A owner), that it is a good idea to use some STP oil treatment along with the change. Same for rear end. Any advice? Ahhh. Wrong title Should read...

Been driving the 31 Tudor since I have it 99% finished. When I come to a long signal light I smell gas fumes. Even when I have it idling in the driveway I can smell the fumes. No smoke coming from the exhaust and it has a new stainless exhaust system from Snyder's. I checked for leaks and...

I am installing a new water pump tomorrow and was wondering if I should use a sealant on the gasket. The old one didn't look like any was used. If I should which one. Permatex, Yamabond, Indian Head? Any anti seize on the bolts? The studs were easy to remove except the top passenger side...

Finally after finishing the complete upholstery I took the 31 out for a drive. Drove great. I started to notice little specs of something on the windshield. Opened the hood and found the specs all over the firewall. So I took the leather off the water pump and there it is....leaking. So two...

I need some advice from you Model A experts. My 1931 A Tudor has no oil filter. I was thinking about adding one. There seem to be two different kits. One that attaches to the side valve cover and one attaches to the front timing gear housing. Could someone please explain what the...

What carburetors do most of you run on your 29 to 32 A's? I switched out a Zenith for Tiliston and it runs so much better. More power, no fuel leaks and no popping on deceleration. I think the Zenith was a new reproduction that was put on about 10 years ago. Cleaned and reassembled it. It...

Could someone tell me on a 1931 Model A Tudor do the two front bumper brackets have the same curve. On mine the Left bumper bracket is curved different than the right. They of course both curve opposite of each other but the right side has a different curve. I looked at Snyder's web...

I am new to the Model A and would like some advice before changing something. I noticed that the motor mount on the dirvers side is cracked where one of the bolts fastens to the flywheel housing. It starts at the bolt and extends to the upper corners. It's cracked on both bolts. I don't...

Since I am putting a new complete Lebarron Bonney interior in my 31 Tudor I thought it would be smart to replace all the window regulators. I purchased new ones and installed them. Now for some odd reason on the two rear window regulators I cannot get the handle to clamp down. I am using new...
