    Gears grinding when cold

    Ever since I topped off the (600w) oil in my transmission, I have a new odd problem: I now cannot shift from 1st to 2nd, or from 2nd to 3rd, without grinding gears when it is cold. I can downshift (double clutching of course) perfectly. Once the car has run a few miles, the problem goes away...

    Paint and Finish Guide how to match

    Howdy, I am painting a '29 pickup. I have the Paint and Finish Guide, but am interested to hear how those who use this book use it. Do you simply show the color card to your paint vendor and try to find something close? PPG has a code for Rock Moss green, but it is not even close to the color...

    Warford transmission in a Model A

    Howdy! I had a question for y'all: is it possible to adapt a Warford transmission (designed for the Model T) to a Model A driveline? Seems like a neat setup could be made that way if there were a way to do so. Thanks!

    Canister oil filter on a Model A

    Greetings! Has anyone ever set up or seen an old fashioned canister oil filter on a Model A? It feels slightly sacrilegious to put an ugly modern oil filter on a Model A, hence why am curious if anyone has mounted one of these filters, like that in the photo below, that is on a V8 in the photo...

    Buying a Model T

    I am a Model A fellow, rather well aqauinted with them and such, but have as of late been interested in getting a Model T. I see many people asking many various prices for Model Ts in various states of repair, but rarely see what they actually sell for. So, could any of you more experienced than...

    Turn Signal ideas

    I like the idea of turn signals (or rather, the drivers round about me do), but dislike the between-the-bumper mounted kits, due to their being too low to the ground, and practically invisible. So, what are some other ways you have mounted lights? I'm looking for ideas of places to mount turn...

    Winter antifreeze

    Greetings, What do 'yall recommend as a good antifreeze for winter driving? I have heard and read that modern antifreeze is not good for the Model A system. Most articles on the subject assume that the car is not being used at all during the cold months.

    Model A standard registration in Pa.

    Greetings, Have any of you had experience registering your Model A with standard plates, as opposed to antique or classic plates? I dislike the severity of the restrictions Penna. puts on Antique plate cars (cannot be driven but to shows, etc., nor can it be driven more than "occassional use"...
