To replace the zinc running board molding- is that a snap fit or does the molding slide on from one end? We just got down to South Carolina for the Winter last Sat. I unloaded "Martha" from the trailer & decided to go see a local Model A'er. I signaled my right turn (no elec. turn signals) and...

Got my 29 Fordor out today for the final run before winter storage. Ran a little rough at first, but it was cold last night-we had a frost. The car is in an unheated garage. Anyway, the rough running didn't clear up after the car warmed up. In fact it started acting like it was starving for...

I did a search, but I can't find a vendor who sells the hinge pin mirrors for Vicky's and S/W's. Bert's apparently has the correct size pin, but not the mirrors. I would really like to have at least a left side outside mirror on our Victoria. Any help would be appreciated. Smitty:confused:

I have a Leakless water pump from Snyder's-the sealed unit no lube. I needed to remove the fan (alum 2 blade) to grind down the end of the housing for a little more pulley clearance. When I smacked the fan removal tool with a hammer, it wasn't on straight and boogered up the threads at the...

What if any are the differences between the 4 cyl. Ford put in the AA trucks and the standard cars? Thanks

I have a 6 volt pos. ground system. The instructions that came with the EVR say to loosen the 3rd brush nut to adjust the brush and then to retighten the nut. I moved my 3rd brush to the top (min output) without loosening anything. Obviously, I did not tighten it. What am I missing here? I...

The engine out of my 29 Tudor is out in Skokie, Il. for a short block rebuild. I bought a 5.5:1 high comp. head from Snyders with the B-6051-C Graphite head gasket. My Grandson is a tool and die maker and he has the head to check for surface flatness. I read somewhere ( I think it was here)...

Long story short, I moved the third brush quite a ways up on the armature to reduce the output. I also replaced the stock cut out with a NUREX diode cut out. The system is still 6 volt pos. ground. After adjusting the 3rd brush-it reads 2 to 3 amps at idle and about 10 amps at fast idle or...

The engine out of my 29 Tudor is out in Skokie being rebuilt. While everything is off - I figured now is the best time to paint the black stuff. Would Rustoleum gloss black be close to original? I'm not going for a high point show car, but at this stage I would like the engine to be close...

I just purchased a high compression head from Snyder's(5.5:1). The short block is being shipped out to the folks in Skokie, Il. They will paint the block out there. I checked with them about the paint they use and it's the same stuff that Snyder's sells. So I need to prep & paint the head...

Could someone post a couple of photos of the guts of a 6 volt cut out and a 6 volt voltage regulator? Thanks - Smitty

The 31 Victoria I just bought has dual sidemounts. The Wife is having a difficult time getting in and out of the passenger seat. I see it is not adjustable back & forth like the driver's seat. Does someone sell an adapter to move it back some? Even a few inches would help. Thanks, Smitty

Does anyone out there have a pic of a curved back trunk (no spare tire) installed on a 31 Victoria? Specifically like the ones Snyder's sells. I'm picking up that Victoria I've been looking at. Sooner or later I will be installing a luggage rack and trunk. Thanks in advance, Smitty.

I'm looking at a 31 Victoria with dual sidemounts and no rear spare. It has the full straight across rear bumper. If I buy the car, I would like to add a trunk. Most of the vendors sell the trunks (curved back) and trunk racks - but what about the mounting brackets for the trunk rack...

I hope to be looking at a 31 Victoria in a week or so. It has the usual bubbling of the paint on the bottom of the cowl panels. I've been to a number of vendor's web sites, but I'm a little confused regarding the correct metal cowl patch panels for a Victoria. Also I would appreciate any input...

I was looking at a 30 Model A Tudor on Craigs List. Ad says motor rebuilt with high compression head. Ad also states owner has all receipts from engine rebuild. In one of the pics I noticed the oil breather cap was missing. I asked him if he replaced it and he said it just came off while...

I was just talking to a fellow that has a 29 Speedster for sale. He says after about 100 miles the 1st and fourth spark plugs foul. Two and three are OK. It's carbon fouling-not oil. He's running a MIller High Speed high compression head and a Stromberg 81 carb with an electronic ignition...

The speedometer on my Canadian 29 Tudor is clicking. The speed indicator still works, but it jumps around in sync with the clicking. The odometer still works. I saw Jack B.'s video on YouTube about replacing a stuck shaft, but that's not my problem. We went on a 100 mi. trip yesterday and by...

I had a guy pull up next to me at a stop light & inform me I had a rear wheel wobbling. The Wife & I noticed nothing while driving the car. So I pulled into the closest parking lot & had the Wife drive it slowly while I watched from the rear. Sure enough, there was a slight wobble on the rt...
