Out for a drive yesterday and a few blocks from home, the steering wheel started to shake and wobble quite violently. It felt like a front wheel was about to come off! A good thing I was in 2nd gear and only doing about 15 mph at the time. (I had previously been clipping along at 45 mph on a...

I know this is silly, but I've got tell someone ... Some background. I live in a 55 plus community that has several roads within the park, but only one entrance and exit. It's a real steep hill that ends at a stop, with an entrance to a highway which itself, is half way up a steep hill...

These are a few random shots taken at the Trexlertown Show, Sunday, April 22nd. Took more, but apparently limited to seven.

Had a leak from my carburetor (29 Tudor) and saw that the Air Maze filter (mounted directly below it) was soaked with gas. Reading back over the many threads about the advantages and disadvantages of air filters, I've decided the risk of a fire there is more than I'm willing to take. I've...

Nice day today ... thought it a good opportunity to start the A and run it around a bit. Went through the start up drill ... gas on, spark retarded, etc. etc. ... Nothing happened! No response at all to stepping on the starter button. Tried again, several times, same (non) result. During...

Another newbie question here ... Is it acceptable to use regular gas containing ethanol in my model A? The man who sold me the car, when asked, said ‘Sure, any regular gas is fine’ ... I never questioned this assuming he knew what he was talking about. Today, I met a man who said ... ‘Whatever...

The steering box on my newly acquired model A is desperately in need of lubrication. (I think) As a newbie owner I realize that I've got an awful lot to learn ... this is the first of what will probably be a long list of frustrations I've studied many youtube videos on model A maintenance and...

A newbie here ... desperately looking for a real nice model A but can't find anything local or even within a couple of hundred miles. Looks like I'll have to resort to the internet sites and buy out of state and unseen. I've done some traveling to look at a few but have been disappointed when...
