In my cousin's possession. She asks if it is a musical instrument or a old car horn.??

We'd all like a gander. This is Woofa Express all decked out.

Why is this so? I have no claims on being a mechanic. But with the correct tools I am capable of becoming a mechanic’s bootlace. Example. With a nu-Rex timing wrench and the new points gapping tool I can get both the timing and points gap correct, as well as my friend Henry (the local...

Buying where the price is low has become more important to me now I don’t have an income except 0.4% bank interest ( which equates to approximately nil). Getting money from my treasurer, otherwise known as my wife is not dissimilar to extracting teeth from a dingo (wild dog). I have spent 2 days...

Woofa Express needs help. Woofa.Express, my ,28 ute, has never run perfectly since I had a major service. What turned out to be a service was a partial strip and rebuild. The workshop was a well-known and deservedly respected. The old gentleman principle even did white bearing pours. He had...

Dogfight. your hound verse my Fugs.

I have tyres that have perished and cracked well before they have worn out. Does any reader have suggestions as to how tire life may be extended? Help please.

1 December for those of us on the west side of the international date line.

Looking for footage of Model A assembly line and other early Ford history. I see many YouTube sites of the old Rouge plant but not the one I’m looking for. As I remember it showed Henry’s early days, the early assembly line, the A going on initial sales display, scraps with unions and Henry’s...

I bought and fitted new radiators to both my 28 tourer and 28 ute. The tourer a normal ambient pressure radiator and the ute a 4 psi pressurised radiator. At 45mph the normal will operate normally and the pressurised one will jettison water and boil. Question. Has any user found this problem or...

In one thread I saw a question asked on cooling system filters. I have searched and searched but can't find the member or that question. I asked the same question a long time back and had a multitude of answers. One system I tried was to install a tea strainer in the hose that returns the...

I'd like to hear from anyone who has fitted rear bumpers to a pickup. On this thread or by private message please.

It is not my practice to drive my A’s at night but on one occasion I did. Myself in ute and my tourer following. The crew in my tourer reported a vehicle passing them and the failure of this overtaking vehicle to see me. It was reported the overtaking vehicle had to break severely. I figured it...

It’s goodbye to a regular contributor and cheers. My friend Johnny was born in Tocumwal and had never travelled anywhere until Gary came along in 1978. I had taken him on several trips to the outback and to Queensland in my Cessna. In 1992 I took him and another friend, Gerry, to the USA. My...

simple question. how do I measure the gap between rotor and plug post striker post. or do I simply purchase new rotor and distributor cap. ??

Help requested please. I am wanting to substitute steel wheels for my wire wheels on my 1930 Roadster. Why you may well ask? To buy tyres for the original 17 inch wheels is expensive. Our AUD is very low and the exchange rate will cost the tyres at 250 to 400 AUD. Freight from USA is also a...

Problems with new pressurised radiator. I have fitted a new pressurised radiator to my ute. It has a problem. When the water heats and expands it lifts the spring and seal and water runs overboard just like it should do. However when it cools the pressure...

my newly installed radiator sprung a leak. It appeared where the core is soldered to the top tank but the repair shop said it was the inlet pipe attached to the tank. I had wondered if I had left the cleanser vinegar in the system too long. The radiator repair shop said maybe or maybe a...

My buddy Phillip is in Oshkosh at the world renowned airshow. Here are 2 pictures he sent me. You will recognize the engine. I don't understand why the builder of this aeroplane, serial number 0000000001 has positioned the radiator in the line of sight. His or her neck must be sore by the time...
