I have a T-1917 Ford wrench that fits a 11/16" nut on one end & the other is just a tiny bit smaller, like maybe it had been 'pinched' smaller. Anyone know what size it should be? I've heard it's for adjusting transmission bands. Thanks!

I have 11 old connecting rod that need cleaning & rebabbiting that I must get rid of. There is one set of "X" style rods, the rest are "H" style. They have been inside storage for 30+ years. Doesn't appear to be any serious pitting. I had to sell my car due to illness & I'm now moving & need to...

I've been trying to get my '30 Tudor back on the road after a 2 yr. hiatus & I think I have a bad coil. I'm not getting any spark between the points or from the coil. I've tested the coil (an old oil filled, repo script coil) with my multi-meter & on the 20 ohm scale I get these readings...

I'm posting this for a friend who isn't computer literate. He replaced the universal joint in his '30 4-door recently and has developed a knock that sounds like it's coming from the area of the universal joint. It seems more noticeable after the engine has heated up a bit and when he let up on...

How much rotational play is acceptable in the rear axle? I've seen the posts about front/rear & up/down play with the hub removed being due to inner seal wear. I'm concerned about play probably due to play in the differential; pinion/ring gear mesh &/or spider gears. So how much rotation is...

I found a supposedly NOS round face North East Electric speedometer supposedly for a late '30-31 Model A, but with several differences. The back is almost identical except the cable connection has male threads, for a keyed cable not square and it reads 'North East Electric...', not 'North East...

Anyone know if any of the major suppliers are at Hershey this year? I'm hoping on finding a plain steel Aries muffler and saving on the shipping. I've seen a couple of stainless models for $290 but that's over my budget. Many thanks! Bob

Anyone know of a good generator armature rewinding shop? I have several cores I'd like to get rewound. Thanks! Bob

Is the Ford 'Green Bible' parts directory available as a CD or DVD, or is there a reprinted version available? Seem to remember a DVD/CD being sold someplace... Any idea what a used copy would sell for? Thanks! Bob

Hi, I'm biting the bullet and making the trek to Hershey this year. I've been reading many of the posts on tips and advice and greatly appreciate them! How about listing where your spot is located? I'm making a map of Model A related sellers so I can mark them on my maps of the various...

Anyone know what admission & parking fees are at Hershey this year? Is there separate fee for Saturday car judging? Just as visitor, not selling or displaying car... Tried to reach Hershey AACA chapter but no response yet. Also, are swap meet sellers assigned to a particular field by car make...

I need to replace a toggle shaft tube on an emergency brake carrier. Bratton's suggests swedging it on with the tool used for hub bolts. Has anyone done it this way? How big a press did you need? Alternate method is welding; should it be welded all the way around or at tack welds in 2-3...

I have a spoked cast front brake drum & hub that I'm told were sold as replacements for original drums in late 1931 and later for the Model A. I've seen them in larger sizes (12") at flea markets & was told they were for '32 and later Fords. They have 5 spokes from the center hub running to the...

What are the minimum bearing sizes for a Model A crankshaft? I'm planning a engine rebuild & want to see if my crank is worth rebuilding. Also, what is involved in straightening a bent crank? If it worth doing or just better looking for a straight one or a Burlington crank? Many thanks! Bob

My car has started pulling to the left when I first step on the brakes. If I let up and re-apply them, there's no pulling at all, car brakes smoothly and well. I've got older cast iron spoked drums on the front and cast reproductions on the rear. Other than the pull to the left, everything works...

One of the retaining bolts on my king pins is broken off flush with the backside of the axle, and I haven't been able to get it out wit5h a hammer & punch while in the car. I'm thinking of using an air hammer, any reason not to? I know I can't heat the axle. Is the bolt case hardened or...

Anyone have recommendations for a engine re-builder shop near Orlando? I want to have my original block rebuilt if it's re-buildable. It's in very rust condition, bored out .125 oversize and may not be worth it. I've had a local shop look at it and they don't even want to try to clean it up...

I recently discovered that I'm getting rust on the rear side panels of my '30 Tudor where the upper panel overlaps the lower panel. The panel overlaps by about 1/16" or so and the rust is on the lower panel and goes up under the upper, close to the door opening. It's too tight to get sandpaper...

My '30 Tudor engine needs new bearings, and I suspect a total rebuild. It's NOT the original block but a '29 block. I have the original block and I'm thinking of rebuilding it. However it's very rusty after sitting in a horse barn for the past 25 years and I'm sure it will need to have the head...
