Has anyone heard if & when the new standards (pre-paid) will be sent out ?.. Were they for sale in Hershey by either Natl.Club??..

This was initially posted in a thread on troubleshooting wiring (Miss Elizabeth popping her fuse!),but now I think it needs its own thread. Lots of us may have this defective part installed and ready to fail. You can fix it, so read on. Here’s my short circuit story. Just a few days ago my...

Here is one of the GOOD BUYS that can be had on E-Bay.. #302073719849 One just like it just sold on F/B for almost $400.00

A very nicely restored four door ’28 Phaeton had almost new brown upholstery. The new owner wanted somewhat different color shades. The new brown upholstery was professionally removed and repacked in the replacement material's boxes. Here it is for sale, complete and ready to re-use. The...

A large lot of tapered roller bearings, all new, most new in box, nearly all Timken brand were were found in storage with antique auto parts. We were cleaning out a hobbiest's garage. Most are boxed and wrapped (NIB), some are without boxes but wrapped, some are open, some are canned with...

Hi Barners, I just got about six dozen assorted Timken roller bearings new in box from a stash of Model A and other car parts that were in long term storage. I can't find any info sources to indicate what applications these various bearings are used in. It's hard to imagine how to dispose of...

Hi Barners, This is an assembly question about the 28-29 steering gearbox. I'm rebuilding one and none of my sources tells which way to orient the oil slot in the lower bushing on the steering column. It's the one just above the worm gear and upper thrust bearing. A slot lets oil past the...

Does anyone know how to remove the Brass turning ring on the bottom that locks the top to the base section hold down lugs ??..

Hi Barners, Here's two pictures of the engine we're having so much trouble getting set up. The timing was just very odd and did not respond anything like normal until we set it very much behind (retarded) where the timing gear notch indicated it should go. Then after a short local run here's...

We need to check the timing gear on an early 28 engine. The Andrews book (mine is missing somewhere) and local experts both say the cover and the timing gear can be removed without taking the radiator off. But what about the early models with no front engine mount strut assembly? The engine...

Hey Barners, Got little chips in those beautiful black enameled fenders? Look at this technique for fine finish repairs. Those built up blobs that result from brush touch-ups should yield to this basic technique. I'm gonna try it but I'll switch to rubbing compound much lower in the grit...

Please check this conclusion….correct it if you can. It’s a mystery with a shiny new rebuilt engine. Everything’s new, tight, fresh, and proper with authentic Model A parts. The distributor is authentic and in top notch condition. All great? No, the engine won’t run properly. It sounds like...

My '30 Fordor has all stock 6 volt components. The two-bulb headlights were working normally after my restoration work. Now the park lights and low beam lights go on at the same time. This is with the switch in the park position, 7 0clock or in the low beam position, 5 Oclock. The off and hi...

Does anyone up there in the Rome - Utica area know the status of Bill Randall's Horn Shop? My recent package to them seems to be on its way back to me. Hope all's well with Randall and his well known repair shop. Rancho

The recent post by Fred: "New Engine 1000 miles compression test" is a question about my just-removed rebuilt engine. I have some others here and any help will be greatly appreciated. The engine has been removed after only 1000 miles to identify and fix several problems. The main one is...

Original window glass was removed for new safety glass. The old pieces may be of use to someone for patterns or for original status. These are from a 1930 Murray fordor and include rear window, two rear quarter windows, one rear door window (with a chip on the top edge making this unit...

FordBarners: My restoration project is just about done. See picture. In road testing, a minor handling problem turned up and I'm convinced it is the Caster Angle. The car wanders off course. No shimmy, shake, or darting around – just a directional unsteadiness that requires attention and...

Today I'm installing the main wiring harness connector at the base of the steering column. Please verify for me that there is no spring inside the connector can to hold the bakelite switch points part in firm contact with the switch rotor itself. I feel sure that's true but it has been a long...

The Murray Fordor had two unusual rubber bumpers not offered in any of the usual supplier's listings. There is one under the curved part of each of the rear doors. They are about an inch wide, shaped like an L, and with a round protrusion on the back for mounting in a round hole recess. Anybody...
