pic size test never mind; it didn't work. Please disregard and let this die.

I'm interested in hearing what other Model A clubs do or have done. The Mid Missouri Model A Restorers Club (MMMARC) has a club meeting on the first Thursday of every month (excluding December) at 6:00 pm. We used to have it at 7:00 but we're all getting older so we moved it forward to...

I'm trying to find an article or other definitive source that I can distribute to my model A club regarding Ford's reasoning for relocating the E-brake lever. I've heard several theories but not any definitive proof. Can anyone point me to such reasoning/proof? b-t-w; if the answer is already...

The left rear side glass in my 1930 2-dr sedan is cracked. I realize that I can buy new glass (Bert's for example) and I can go to my local glass shop and have glass cut. My question is: In your experience which of these gives you the best results? What are the positives and negatives of each?

Recently I loaned my (homemade) crankshaft nut wrench to a friend who was helping another mutual friend time his newly acquired "A". After they used my wrench I got to wondering if they could have put a 1 3/8" socket on the nut and ran some extensions through the hand crank hole to turn the...

Note: I either did or dreamed I posted something about this several months ago but searching hasn't turned it up. My 1930 has been converted to 12V and the mechanical starter rod has been replaced with a solenoid and starter button. This is the way it was when I bought it last year. I haven't...

I've found a couple of posts about timing gears but nowhere have I found a recommendation for who makes or where to buy the best aluminum Model A timing gear. What say you? Is one better than another or are they all the same?

I was perusing the Barn this morning and came across a thread referencing a walnut cracker made from Model A steering box. This led me to searching for other similar threads but found none. A friend has a soda/beer can crusher mounted on top of a 55-gallon drum. Wish I had a pic to show. It's...

I recently posted this thread regarding oiling the distributor in my 1930 A. I've read and absorbed every word of it and thank all responders for their time and input. I really appreciate it. I'll be oiling using the pull-out knurled knob as suggested and apparently as the Ford factory...

In the first minute of this video I see a fella oiling the distributor by pulling out the knurled knob and putting oil in the small hole. I was under the impression that you had to do something complicated inside the distributor cap. The lube chart in the center of the Model A owners' manual...

This "thing" is in an estate sale near me that starts tomorrow (Thursday; 2/5/26). I'm wondering if I should go try to buy it. I've never seen anything like it. This is posted in the 32-53 section. I'll be putting it in the Model A section also, as I have the Model A in my avatar and a '48 F-1...

I've had my sedan for 5 months and the wipers were unhooked when I bought it. There is no hose/tube/pipe to be found in the engine compartment. I don't know why the wiper was disconnected but I'd like to make it work again. Rebuilding the vacuum motor, if necessary, does not present much of a...

Place Bolts: I'm sorry; I tried to upload pix of "place bolts" but it didn't work so here are some links to what they are. Most of you probably already know about them but for anyone else...

In my searches here I've found many threads discussing the wood body blocks for my 1931 2-dr sedan. These threads all deal with how to install but not where to get. Yes, in addition to the 1930 sedan in my avatar I've got a 31 project that I've never mentioned here. I've found body blocks...

I've heard that you need to take the distributor cap off to lube the gear/shaft down lower. Can someone walk me through this procedure? Note: I've searched the barn but not found any information.

I came across this photo and am wondering if this is a heat shield to help keep the distributor cooler; or at least not so hot? My 1930 doesn't have any such shield and I've never seen another. Is this a common item? I'm still pretty new to Model A's. I'm not planning to install such a shield...

On my desktop all appears normal. On my phone the pages are incredibly small. Hamb and garage journal are normal on the same phone. Is there a setting I can change so I can view "normally"?

This main power disconnect switch is mounted on the left frame rail just in front of the firewall. Is this from the Ford factory or has a previous owner installed this?

Some of you may have seen and read this post regarding a mishap with Clarence, my 1948 F-1 panel truck. I need a hood, grill, upper and lower valance (attaches to and touches grill), hood latch, inner fenders, radiator cradle, etc. Basically the entire front clip excepting fenders. I'd be...
