Hello, As I learn more, I want to do more. A friend of my Father had a four Banger (original engine) Model A Sedan back in the 50s and 60s. Dad said that thing was fast! He would "pop wheelies" with it and scare the heck out his friends and my father (he always laughs when he tells me). He...

I am running W16Y Champion Sparkplugs in my car right now. I was reading Jim's "My Four Banger and Me" book (Good book by the way and very informative). He recommends a cooler plug for a High compression head. What would be one step down from W16Y? I found some W14 Champions. Would those work...

Hello, Saw a great article (SOSS Mag) on how to modify a V8 oil pump to a Model A Ford for more oil pressure and flow. I know a couple of shops do it and they want $300.00. I know I can do the work. I would buy it, if I had money to burn. The one thing I can't get a answer to is what year oil...

I am running a 5.5 to 1 HCH on my stock Model A Ford (told they run cooler). What is the ideal water temperature I am looking for? I have seen (on line) everything from 140 to 180 degrees F. Worked really hard on this engine and I want it to last a long time. While I have you, what should...

I will use what I have and save my money.

I put this listing for a fulton starter lever. Only had one answer. Most of the time I get no response, so I decide to make my own (not much to them) and save my money.

Hello, Sacramento Vintage Ford had a 8-plug high compression head (model A ford) for sale for a number of years, but they no longer carry it (6:1 compression) Anybody know where you can get them or does anyone have one they aren't going to use? Has anyone ever tried one? How did it perform...

Hello, I am wrapping up a project and planning the next. I want to build another engine, but I want to go a little deeper this time. There was a article from a old time racer/builder (I wish I made a copy of it). He was asked the secret of his success and he whispered "it's in the cam". I was...

Hello, I am about to do the body work on my car. I have a number of friends give me some advice on the matter (all do body work for a living). I will be using an epoxy primer. One guy told me to "clean the body and add the epoxy primer then add the bondo" and another said "clean the...
