Hey all, need a hand with some troubleshooting. '31 SW TS with stock engine setup. It's been some time since I tried to start the A (a couple of years), and I'm having a hell of a time. Feel free to scold me for not driving her for so long....unforgivable, I know. Initially I thought that...

Hey all- Dropped the pan today to check the main bearing clearances, in hopes of quieting the deep thump that presents at higher RPMs. Started with the center, which was a little out, and removed one shim. Got that one just about money (.0015-.002) Rear was a different story, which I'll get...

Hey all- Went for a cruise around the county today (damn, these things are fun :D), and I'm starting to think that my timing is way out of whack. She seems to run OK as long as I have the timing lever fully advanced all of the time. This obviously isn't right. For the record, the GAV is set...

Hi all, New to the group, but several hours of surfing and I feel like I've found a home. I'm going to look at a '31 Fordor and was looking for some input. They claim "all original", though obviously that's not the case. Engine is not original, though I'm told correct for the car and runs well...
