I have a chrome Trico vacuum windshield wiper in my 31 Victoria. Is there general maintenance that a person should do with these vacuum wipers? In other words, lubrication, cleaning, all that sort of thing.

I am looking for an "intake manifold extension" to lower a carb that has been adapted to run on a model T. This car belongs to a widow that asked me to help get it running better. Seems it backfires and pops going uphill. I drove it and found this is true, and I attribute it to fuel...

What is the latest on Stipe's? Are they still operating? I tried their website and it looks dead. I talked to them about 8 months ago about a set of shocks and some camshafts which they said would be produced by now, and that they would call me. No calls so far. Anybody know?

What's up with the "other" Model T website, the MTFCA.com site? Looks like it has crashed.

Anyone have any information on when Goodyear 19" tires will be available? Various vendors I have talked to respond with "supposed to have been May" and "I don't know." I guess if the vendors don't know probably no one else does either. Just askin'

Just curious, anyone know when A+L manufactured parts will start flowing again? I understand they were moving their operation to New Jersey but don't know if that has been completed or? Sure could use some wiper parts....

I know this is a tough question to answer without seeing the car in person, but maybe someone knows right off what color green this is? The owner swears it is Kewanne Green, but I don't think so. Kewanee Green, at least to my eyes, is more "olive drabby" looking. One fellow said maybe it is...

I will be installing some quarter window shades in a 31 Victoria. Anyone have any pictures and/or dimensions for their placement? I have seen pictures but they are not terribly clear, so thought I would ask if someone could get me a straight on clear picture of a "properly" installed shade on...

Thought I would toss this question out here. I have a 68B Cabriolet and want to put a trunk on the back end. Right now, that is where the spare tire rides and I don't like extending the trunk brackets out behind the spare tire. So I was thinking of going with dual sidemounts (different...

I have been messing with the crummy ???&^*%!!@@$$ ammeters on the market. Anybody know of an option to actually fit a quality ammeter that just happens to fit in a 30 instrument panel? I have contacted Dan Bixby to see if he has any rebuilt one. NOS would be nice but is elusive. I am...

I am looking for a very nice right front 30 fender, the one with the splash shield extension spot welded on. I would entertain NOS if someone is at the point of parting with it. I know NOS is a long shot, but "if you don't ask, you don't get." In lieu of NOS, I would be interested in a NICE...

I have a 68B Cabriolet with an old but still presentable top on it that has last all waterproofing characteristics (assuming it originally had any). It was suggested to me to use canvas wax which makes sense. But, before I go smear wax all over my top I thought I would check and see if any of...

I have a newly rebuilt stock engine block and re-used a fairly new oil pump. Got it all together and checked the oil pressure (it's a stock, non-pressurized system) and using a 0-15 psi gage, the oil pressure pegged the gage. Normally at cold start up you should see about 5 psi and as the...

For those who are looking for a "nice" engine to rebuild, check this out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1928-1931-Ford-Model-A-Engine/333424553655?hash=item4da1a6eeb7:g:f-8AAOSw~atb8ZHu

Rebuilding a stock transmission, and have everything back together. I notice slight lateral movement on the transmission input shaft. This is the big shaft with the nose that sticks into the pilot bearing. How much lateral movement is normal?

I rebuilt my transmission about a year ago or so using the hyatt roller bearings from the vendors. After a couple hundred miles the ****** has a grinding noise while idling in neutral. Having read Tom Endy's warning about inferior bearings that were on the market, I suspect that is what I...

I saw this and said, WOW. Anyone know anything about this car? I'm not going to buy it, unfortunately as I am car poor already, but is this an original condition car? Obviously needs some work, but still...

I believe Mr. Kilburn is the fellow who made some repro closed car door straps. I am trying to get ahold of hm. I sent an email to an email address I had for him but no reply. Thanks.

OK, I have a 54 Victoria with a 56 292 engine transplanted into it. Have the Holley 4000 Teapotcarb. The fuel pump has gone bad so I bought a replacement Airtexpump. Looks just like the original.HOWEVER this pump puts out far too muchpressure.So I got one of those cheapo pressure regulators...

Well this is a new condition for me. My engine is running a tad rougher than I like, so was shorting out each spark plug as part of my check out. Cylinders 2, 3. and 4 were shorted out against the cylinder head and showed a healthy, snappy blue spark. Cylinder #1 showed a somewhat wimpy (and...
