Prrrrrroblem solved! I have headlights and tail-light again! but i need a new brake light switch. That was more than the problem though. i pulled the headlight wires out of the socket and filed the round brass pins (that were so big the were almost touching), into triangle type shapes with a...

well....getting closer. Model A runs like a champ now. Disconnected the brake light relay by the battery, can put on the brakes now without pooping a fuse. But... i can turn the headlight switch one way, lights come on no problem. Switch it the other way fuse pops.....

My copper seal looked the same on both sides, i just made sure to see how all the holes lined up and what way i needed to put it on. Then i sprayed both sides of the gasket with copper gasket spray gave it about 5 minutes to tack up and slapped it on. Then follwed torque requirements. Sealed...

http://smitty.faithweb.com/Oil%20Baffle.htm thats how i did it

Pretty sure that all checks out. But i will def double check it thanks.

This is the tail light i have. Except mine doesnt have the "STOP" printed lens on it.

Nice lol. Yea ill get it eventually. Just irritating at the moment.

will do, had to walk away from it for the night.... lol

Now the frickn fuse blows when i hot the brakes! This thing is going to make me nutS!

welllllp new exhaust manifold, new gaskets, new condenser, spot on timing, made sure GAV was just seating and adjusted choke know to be straight up and down so i knew the position og the gav via the little knob. fired right up first crank of the starter! BAM! But then.....Pulled out for a drive...

Ill have to check that out too, im picking up a new exhaust manifold, and condensor tonight. So i guess ill slap them on and see what happens... Hopefully it doesnt backfire and pi$$ off the neighbors again. :(

Would that leaking by that bad cause it to backfire extremly loud through the muffler when i try and start it? Cause thats not only embarassing as hell but scares the $%it out of the neighbors lol.

This thing is so pitted out, im probably going to the shop near by that sells all model A and T parts and get a new one. Looks like it may have pin holes all in it. Dont want the neighbors to come runnig over again asking if im ok after it backfires and makes all them go def.

:( don'y really have the cash for that at the moment.... sucks.

:o ok soooo maybe i was wrong about the exhaust leak lol. After trying to start it today i got a big backfire. Pulled the exhaust manifold off just for the hell of it and found this.... (what is in the picture) Looks like the number one cylinder exhaust port was blowing by bigtime.

LOL! Ok was just curious

Is there some kind of spring that should be attached to the lever on the choke slide to keep it in the down position, or to spring it back to the close position? was just wondering because of the little hole i marked with a red circle in the picture.

I really dont think its an exhaust leak causing the problem, im going to double check the timing, and pay much closer attention to the positon of my GAV, it never back fired at all until i put in my new timing gear.

I did find my GAV was completly unscrewed inside the carb, and i was probaly running it that way, i do remeber twisting it counter-clockwise thining it may be the issue with the back fire, and also remeber thinking "god d!@# does this thing ever stop turning". The weather is so crappy here...

I just started driving and working on the truck, my father passed away and i got the truck. Not sure if the issue is new or old. it has the three brass fingers where the headlight plugs in.
