I am getting ready to install Coker American Classic 4.75/5.50-19R tires. I noticed one sidewall on each tire has a chine (lip) on one side only. I emailed Coker this question and never got a reply. Is that lip supposed to be on the inside or outside of the mounted tire or does it not make a...

I have two clutch housings both with a crack in the same location. I could not find anything on line about cracks in this location.

Removed my head to install a Snyder 6.1. No water leaks. In 7000 miles I have added no water, I check it before I drive the A. When I removed the head I found these areas on the piston tops with no carbon. That to me is a sign of water leaking into the cylinder. I could see no evidence coolant...

I get rain water leaks at the 30-31 gas tank to fire wall attachment using Snyder’s part number #46 screws and lock washers. How did Ford originally prevent this. I put clear sealer on the screw threads to stop the leaks..Just curious.

I replaced the shift rails, plungers and spring to hopefully cure jumping out of 2nd gear occasionally when pulling a steep hill. After getting everything assembled I noticed the groove that is cut lengthwise about half the length of the shaft is cut on the opposite side on the 2nd/high gear...

500 miles on new A-12115 Distributer Cap. ?? I was checking the newly installed original points from NAPA as my timing had changed slightly at 500 miles and found this. I expected the point gap to close up slightly but not a worn out rotor brush. Noticed the brass particles when I glanced at the...

Is there a fix for worn spark and throttle control lever detents short of replacing the steering column? Mine are worn almost smooth.
