1928 tudor, all original. Been running great all year, haven't driven in a couple weeks now. Wanted to move it yesterday and won't start. I have to hand crank this one. Got gas, got juice. Lights are bright. Took the distributor top off and turned the key on and got a spark at the points...

Which way does the adjusting shaft face, longer, pointed end toward the outside or inside of car? Can't find a definitive picture anywhere. Thanks. Confused in N.Y.

Got my electrical problems fixed, buttoned everything back up and to my amazment, the car started. Thought I' let it run for a while as it hasn't been run all winter. Started it with the gav open a little less than three quarters turn, after it warmed up a bit, closed the gav to 1/4 turn, where...

Been working on my A to get it ready for the summer. Was running fine and everything was working until I fixed a few things, now it wants to spark when I go to hook up the ground cable, didn't do that before. I put in a repro switch to replace the repro switch that didn't fit behind my...

Looks like it's time to rebuild the steering box and was wondering if I should get the kit that Macs offers or are there better parts out there? Also, are there any good instructions out there on doing this or anything in particular I should be aware of ? The only manual I have only talks about...

Hey Guys I'm going to look at a Model A Snowmobile kit and need some info. I have no idea what something like this is worth nor do I know what shape it's in. I'll do some research on the net so I know a little more but if anyone can give me any helpfull hints on what to look for/look out...

Installed my new radiator today, looks like my overheating problem is solved, finally! No problems at all with the new radiator. Ran the car about 12 miles with some pretty good hills and it didn't come close to getting hot. Got back home and thought I'd try to fix the taillight, got a repro...

I took a little break from working on my A as I was getting discouraged with all the issues I was having with it. Now I'm back at it and hopefully will be able to drive it to a show this weekend. What I've had done so far; honed out the cylinders, new rods, rings and pistons. Took up main...

What causes a GAV to keep moving in a counter-clockwise direction? I put a new spring on it figuring the old one was weak but it didn't fix my problem. Also my starter seems to be possessed. It skips and sounds like it's not making good contact, had it off and all apart and everything looks...

Just put the car all together last night and tried to take it for a drive today. Goes about two miles and suddenly the mercury shoots up in the motometer. Let it cool down and the same thing happens, mercury comes up so that it's just visable and stays there for a little while then it rapidly...

Starting to wire the ole girl today, got a harness from sacramento vintage ford and a wiring diagram for my car (early '28) but I can't remember how to route the headlight wires. How do they go from the switch to their destination? Inside of the cross member or out? Any clips that should be...

Excuse my ignorance but is there supposed to be a spring in the valve chamber between the upper and lower dist. shafts and if so, why can I not find one listed in Mac's cataloge? Tyler

I'm putting on a new Snyder 5.5 head and of course the new high strength studs. Macs cataloge says to use washers but Snyders doesn't. What say you experts. Also, 11 of the studs are the same length, then two long ones that I guess are for the water pump then one that's a little longer than the...

How many here have used some kind of product to sound proof and isulate their A's ? What did you use and how did you apply it? What part that you did do you feel made the biggest difference? Anyone do their hood? I see they have an isulated firewall cover in some catalogs, any experience with...

I want to completely re-wire my '28 tudor and was wondering where I can find a good wiring diagram and also if there is any difference in wiring harnesses from the different vendors. My experience with Model T's has shown me that there are some incorrect diagrams out there and that there can be...

Just a quick question, my manual is at a friends place right now. What is the proceedure for removing the steering box? Do the pedals have to be removed? Any tricks or helpfull hints? '28 tudoor, 7 tooth I assume. Tyler

Hi everyone: Does anyone have a picture handy of what my back seat should attach to? My 28 sedan came with a non original back seat and I am replacing it with a correct one but it looks to me like there should be some wood between the seat-back and the car, at least that's how it is on my...

A couple buddies of mine were trying to drill out a broken head stud, using some kind of a guide, and managed to almost completely miss the stud. They drilled an 1/8th inch hole, half an inch deep just overlapping into the stud but mostly off the stud. Needless to say, they're bummed. They think...

I'm new to all this model A stuff but have been playing with T's for a few years now and have a few ?'s. I'm getting ready to tear into my A, a '28 Tudoor that's been sitting in a barn for a very long time (and looks it). I'm not concerned with the body, just going to keep it looking like it...
