Can't get on the site for the Model A Ford Club of America for some time now....anyone else seeing a problem? I tried two different search engines.

I start the car and there is periodically a noise like something is being thrown about inside the transmission. It's not constant like a bang more like a nail got dropped into the trans and is being kicked up once every 10-15 seconds. If I depress the clutch it stops. If I drive it still...

The car started bogging down real bad in third gear and loosing power on an incline...I found that problem after going over a lot of fuel and electrical checks... see the attached photo. So I replaced the condenser and drove around. The car ran great. Just to be extra sure my repair was 100%...

I got new tires on the front and the old gal was a bit to handle...I have the attached tool...

I just read a post about a blown head gasket and the question came up about retorquing the nuts...It occurred to me while reading the post someone who is new to Model A cars or just us old guys getting lazy probably overlook a lot of real simple preventative checks that could save us a lot of...

I bought a set of American Vintique Tires for a Model A I drive about 400 miles a year. I cannot find the DOT Code of Manufacture Date. I see DOT but then nothing. Anyone else have this brand of tire....? Thoughts? They are getting mounted one way or another ...at my age and mileage they...

Just took a five day excursion from NJ to the Gilmore in Michigan. We drove over 1,800 miles round trip in 5 days to see the Gilmore and the Studebaker National Museums. It was worth every minute. The Gilmore is like 10 Museums in one with side bars of of eating and interactive events. We...

I bought my Model A in 2014 and noticed Garfield Tires were on the car. They looked real good and I never gave them much thought. The other day I noticed the driver's side front is getting worn (No, I never rotated them). I put the spare on and ordered two new front tires from Mike's. I then...

Just a thread to brag and suggest and take advice: Spring Time...what I did and what you suggest. I changed the oil, torqued the head bolts, checked the rear, trans and radiator. I jacked up the wheels and adjusted the brakes. Lubricated the grease fittings, and the distributor points. I...

I just got the new Snyder's Catalog. It sure is nice of them to print that and send it... On the inside, a few pages in, they kinda send a warning saying some small parts guys have either passed on or retired....and suggest buying now if your anticipated part is an oddball. To that end I...

I was just dusting off some things in the basement....I'm 66 now but when I was 18 my mom gave me this book (available...see link). I ate, slept and drank it. Yes I had Motor, Chiltons and others but this book for a kid new to old cars was the BEST. I won't sell mine but they are out there...

Just for fun I wanted to get a base dwell reading. I have an old meter that says it works with 6 or 12 volts. It says for positive ground just reverse the leads so the black ground goes on the coil and the red hot goes on a ground. Normally a dwell meter goes to the negative side of the coil...

Does anyone know the host hotel yet? I get the MARC magazine, saw the meet, and e-mailed for more info. I guess they are waiting to lock down the terms...?
