I've read several posts on the pros and cons of two piece crankshaft pulleys so I'm aware of the potential problems related to the notched type that Snyder's and Bratton's sells. My question specifically relates to the type that Mac's and Mike's sells that has a left-hand threaded shaft that the...

"Ford Model A Standard Hardware", "Parts Price List", and "Body Parts List" books I'm slowly trying to build up my reference library of Model A books and I'm curious about the books sold by the usual vendors called "Ford Model A Standard Hardware", "Parts Price List", and "Body Parts List"...

I'm just curious about that Nu-Rex timing wrench that the vendors sell. Supposedly you use the timing pin to find TDC, loosen the cam screw, rotate the tool a few times, stop when it touches the #4 dstributer post, tighten the screw and you're done. Have any of you actually used one of...

I was working on my distributer a few days ago and I noticed that there was some electrical tape wrapped around the inside perimeter of the upper body where it mates with the base. I removed the tape and quickly found out why it was there. The upper body didn't fit snug on the base and I could...

I have an older Zenith carb with the brass GAV seat. When I first got the car, the GAV dial inside the car would point straight up when it was fully closed. After I had a fellow club member rebuild the carb, it no longer does. It now points toward the 2 o'clock position when closed. I found...

I've been thinking about rebuilding my 7-tooth gearbox lately due to the fact that I have about 5 or 6 inches of play in my wheel. It makes it really exciting to drive on a windy day. Anyhow, I got an email from Mac's today stating that they have steering parts on sale for 15% off. However...

I purchased a new leakless water pump from Snyder's and the instructions that came with it say that reproduction radiators cannot handle the same flow rate that originals did and therefore you have to remove about 1/3 of each impeller blade so that you don't pump coolant out of the overflow...

A few weeks ago I started a thread about my fan blade coming within 1/8" of hitting the upper neck of my new Brassworks radiator. There were several good suggestions from you folks, one of which was to check and make sure my front engine mount is adjusted properly. Well, yesterday evening I had...

Hey guys, I finally got tired of dealing with my '28 Special Coupe's overheating problems so I bit the bullet and purchased a new Brassworks 10 fin-per-inch radiator. The radiator mounted easily and the hood fit is pretty good, so I'm pretty happy with it. The problem is that my fan blade is...

Do any of you guys know the wire gauge of a horn armature? I'm thinking about rewiring mine. I've already rewired the field coils and noticed a lot of sparking in the armature windings when I fired it up again. The enamel is apparently shot. Have any of you successfully rewound an armature...

I have some questions about how headlight bulbs should be installed. My bulbs have two filaments, one that's pointy shaped, and one that's flat. Which bulb is the high beam, and which one is the low beam? Which filament should be on top? I assume they should be oriented horizontally, correct...

Hey guys, I'm needing a new 6 volt battery for my A and I'm having a little difficulty finding one that will fit properly. Have any of bought one recently from a national chain parts store? If so, which store and which battery did you buy? Did it fit properly, or did you have to modify...

Hey guys, when normally driving from 35 to 45mph on a hot day, say above 85 degrees, how high does the red indicator in your moto meter rise? I'm trying to determine what's normal, especially for 28/29 cars that have the smaller radiator. I noticed that halfway up in the open circle there's...
