    How to repair coils at home (buzz coils)

    I have seen the $30 adjusting hammers and I have seen video, where the guy has about $3000 invested in 3 buzz testers, where he says he is using all 3 for full test as they offer different features. I still like the guy on the video, who claims to have results with $3 screwdriver. Too bad he is...

    How to repair coils at home (buzz coils)

    Tar roofs don't exist in Las Vegas. At black surface reaching 200F, they would drip.

    How to repair coils at home (buzz coils)

    Old topic, but right in time for me. Than what is 6 years old, comparing to the age of our cars? Anyway, I am rebuilding some coils with new condenser, have the continuity test done and am ready for final adjustment. What I don't get -what are the criteria for adjusting point tension (1:45 on...

    Brake service

    I did buy the manual shortly after buying the T, but I am 1 of those "know it all" guys and reading manual is at the bottom of my list. Exception are digital manuals, as I am taking laptop to my Whirlpool and spending 1 hr in it, have lot of time to read. Paper and Whirlpool don't work well...

    Brake service

    I've been thinking about using parking brake for vehicle stopping, especially since I have new, lined brake shoes, but the level goes pretty low under dashboard and it is hard to reach during driving. Anybody tired that? I know nothing about other T owners in Las Vegas, but I am pretty...

    Brake service

    It is not much car traffic as stop lights. I drive the T 10 miles on Sundays to church. I think I have about 100 stop lights on the route and when they change to red 50 ft in front of me, I have to use brakes hard. I know how to predict traffic, but it all has its limit. So I understand that...

    Found youtube video about adjusting gear band, but no brake. Is brake the other band under the cover? What it takes to replace?

    Good side mirrors

    I drive in city traffic, so side mirrors are a must. Bought chromed last years, but that was disaster. Not only small mirror, on short arm, but with the vibration they have been coming apart and I lost one on the road. Than lately I bought those and they seem to be perfect fit. I did not want...

    Brake service

    1922 model T and forum search found lot about clutch bands adjustment, but nothing about brake band work. I drove my T less than 100 miles since the purchase, yet seem the brakes are getting weak and the pedal goes closer to the floor. I drive in city traffic so brakes are important. How much...

    Adding air filter?

    I finally add an air filter that I found at local AutoZone and it seems to work fine, however after estimated 60 miles drive, the filter is clog and took me quite a while to figure out why my engine would start, make few turns and die. I am ordering new replacement and below is the insert I am...

    Intake manifold Gaskets for 1913

    I bought from Snyder's and it works now. Their manifold studs are about 1/2" too short, so I can't use them and had to reuse old stuff. Took me some time to have engine running again as it was making few turns and dying. First I was suspecting leak on intake manifold, than something in...

    1926 Ford Fordor

    It is. I had to remove steering wheel and spare wheel from T, yet the steering shaft punched hole in ceiling. The lower sedan is 3/8" from scratching the roof. But it works and keeping any vehicle in 120F heats we have would be consider vehicle abuse.
