So right before my father-in-law gave me my car 3 years ago he had put two brand new Firestone tires on the front, the tires on the back were not great when I got the car. I've put a couple thousand miles on the car since getting it and now the rears are really bad and need to be replaced. I'm...

I know this subject has been discussed many times before but wanted to post my success... Anyway I've been wanting to get some touch up paint for my car and NAPA has a paint only store here in Columbus, all they sell is paint and related supplies. In order for them to do a perfect match they...

So what do you guys think about an air filter like this, I know it's not historically correct but definitely is out of the way if everything.

Took Sister for a ride out in the country today to a couple farmers markets, she started right up when we left home, drove a little over 20 miles and ran great. Made our first stop for about 10 minutes came out and started right up. Drove a couple miles and stopped again for about 15 minutes...

As my other thread mentioned I got the 3X plugs installed today. The size of these plugs are larger than the ones that were in the car and I did not have a box wrench large enough to fit them but was able to get them snugged up fine with a cresent wrench. I would like to purchase the correct...

Took the advice the much smarter guys here on FB, Mitch, and ran out to Gaslight yesterday afternoon and picked up a set of the Champion 3X sparkplugs. Got them in the car this morning and WOW what a difference, I thought she idled smooth before but much, much better now. She also has much...

A local bar had their fall car show today, pretty good turn out, about 120 cars, everything from rat rods, hot rods and even a legit 69 426 hemi Barracuda (not a tribute car). Of all the cars there we were the only Model A and my wife and I went out of our way to put some smiles on the faces of...

Gentlemen, decided I wanted to check my plugs, clean them and make sure they were set correctly. Unfortunately I can not break them loose, would heating up the engine allow for easier removal....any other suggestions would be great. Thanks Nick

I'm at my house in No Carolina for a few weeks, so n the mountains with a lot of farming, right now I'm sitting on my front porch looking good at about 30 head and for cattle in a neighbors field. Anyway stopped for some gas coming back from town, it's 25 miles to the closest grocery store...

Based on what I've read on FB, the operators manual, other web sites and YouTube videos I "think" I have a good understanding of where the spark advance should be set based on conditions.....thought I would post it up here to see if I'm on the right track and maybe it will help some other...

......thought this would be fun to post. While out for our Sunday morning drive today we decided to swing by "The Field of Corn". This was an art project built several years ago down the street from us in Dublin, OH....yes it is a field of 5 foot high, concrete ears of corn....thought it...

Gentlemen, I am attempting to grease my car for the first time, just wanted to make sure that I am doing it right. When I put the grease gun on the fitting and squeeze the handle grease does come out but it is mushrooming around the fitting, see picture. Just want to make sure that is correct...

So I have my engine compartment looking really nice, the only area that looks a little off is the muffler clamp....see pic. For some reason my father-in-law packed a bunch of sealer around the connection, not sure why. My question is am I going to open a can of worms if I remove the sealer and...

Earlier today I took a little cruise out to the country to go to the farmers market, there is a stretch of two lane, probably 40 or 45 mph that goes for about 11 miles with no stops. Is it OK to use the throttle Lever to keep a constant speed, kind of like cruise control, or is that not a...

What is the correct oil level in the steering box....is this another situation where you fill until it starts coming out or something else. As always thanks for the help.....Nick

Another newbie question for the experts here.......how do you guys put the oil in the transmission, kind of close quarters under there......I tried to use a lab squeeze bottle with a curved spout on it and that seems to get in there but will take for ever to refill if completely drained......any...
