I sold my ‘30 Tudor but kept my fathers ‘31. I have parts I need to move to a new location. I have decided to offer them to someone that could use them before selling them for scrap metal. Make me an offer. Pick up only, no shipping. The inventory listing is as correct as I can make it. The may...

$17000 OBO I have decided to sell my 1930 Tudor. It’s 95% original more or less. 6 volt positive ground. The only non original parts are a right side tail lamp, turn signals using the cowl lamps and tail lamps, along with a narrow led turn and brake light in the rear window. I’m currently a...

I have a large lot of A parts. My father ( 90 years ) has a 1931 Tudor and I have a 1930 Tudor. I bought mine from a fellow that had been collecting parts for years and he sold me car and parts. I divorced last year and my car and parts are stored at the ex’s. Good news is we are still friends...

I can’t seem to reply to want ads. I get a message that I don’t have the permissions. I’ve been inactive for some time now.

This weekend I replaced the cross shaft (thanks for the work Will), and all brake rods on my '30 Tudor to eliminate the slop. I had been hearing a popping sound sometimes after releasing the parking brake and backing out of the garage, so I pulled the left rear hub off to check on things. I was...

Anyone installed Snyder's repo shocks? If so, Have you adjusted them? Mine didn't really seem to make as much difference in the ride as I had suspected. I had none on the car before. The weather here is hot. I'm thinking I should make some adjustment to allow for fluid thickness.

I found some new in the wrap reamers that I rescued from the tool room at work about 15 years ago. We were updating tool storage and getting rid of anything we didn't use anymore. These all appear to be Keystone brand tools. The first picture is of four reamers. The second from the top is an...

When I disengage my parking brake, and back out of my garage, I hear and feel a muffled pop from the rear brakes. It's as if the parking brakes are stuck to the drums and then release when it starts moving. I need to adjust the brake, as it will hold on flat ground, but not on an incline like it...

I'm ready to order some original equipment type shocks for my '30 Tudor. I'm leaning towards Snyder's kit. Since it's a fairly large expenditure, I'm trying to make the best decision. I only have two cores, and I don't think they are rebuildable. I also have two or three links which are pretty...

While reading the post about shocks, wind, and cornering, I was pondering. The body and fenders are attached to the chassis. What connects the chassis to the axles? If you don't have shocks, what other attachment points are there besides the front and rear spring. is the steering linkage the...

I have a Roadster top. I suspect it's a '30 or '31. I don't know if the '28's or '29's are different. I'd like to sell it. The problem is I don't have any idea as to the value. The metal and wood appear to be in very good shape. The top has some tears and some dry rot. the back window is in...

While attempting to improve the braking on my 30 Tudor, I ordered some new clevises for the brake rods. They came from one of my favorite vendors. For the life of me, I couldn't get them to screw on the rods. I thought the thread pitch was 24 per inch. Even retreading them with a 5/16" x 24 tap...

When I got my '30 Tudor a couple of months ago, it came with quite a few spare parts. I found a picture of what we loaded up on one of two trips. The previous owner had collected parts for the car since the mid 80's. I pulled a 6.5 X 12 ft trailer with my F150, and my son in law brought my 5 X 8...

I'm concerned about what the attached pic shows. It appears there is a thrust collar on the water pump shaft. There is about .050 endplay. I can't seem to find a similar pic. Is this standard? any one have recommendations? Thanks!

Back firing, stumbling, coughing, sputtering... gone. My new manifolds came in today from Bratton's, and I snuck away from work a little early. I painted the intake, gathered up my copper gaskets, tightened that pesky jet in the carb with my brand new tool, reset the timing again. Bolted it...

My father and I drove the '30 Tudor to town, about a 5 mile trip for gas. It sat for maybe 10 minutes at the most while I filled up. When starting back home, it cranked fine, started off in first fine, and then started sputtering and back firing through the carb when I shifted into second. I...

My '30 Tudor has been through some changes. It has two bulb headlamps, and cowl lamps. There are no wires running to the headlamps for the parking lights, even though the bulbs and sockets are in the head lamps. I'm thinking about changing the parking lights back to the head lamps, and using...

On my newly acquired 30 Tudor both levers are very stiff to move. I can't feel the notches at all. The PO said the column had been rebuilt not too long ago. Is there any adjustment for tension at the lower end with the springs? Would oiling the shafts at the top of the column help? I hate...

I'm still struggling with my new to me A. I installed a modern point plate and have the timing set as shown in the attached pic. This is with the timing gear in the proper place at TDC by using the pin through the cover. I get an occasional backfire in 3rd gear. It seems the more I advance the...

Is this an uncommon thing? I attempted to drive it to work the other morning, as was not successful. Only a mile from home it died, after a back fire or two. I think the points were the problem, as when I got it home they were oxidized. I plan to set the timing this weekend, replace points and...
