Does anyone have, or know, where I can view a drawing of an A or B cylinder head. I need the dimensions to locate the center of the flat squish area. Thanks.

Beautifully restored late ’31 Model ‘A’ Panel Delivery truck. Excellent woodwork throughout, with custom carpet in the cargo area. The seats were upholstered at LeBaron Bonney. Excellent mechanical condition with strong engine, good brakes, and 12 Volt electrical system with alternator. Runs...

Ken, I used to paint mine. With a little patience you can do a god job of 'hiding' the weights. This last set of tires I mounted I switched to balance beads - very satisfied and painting eliminated.

What everyone else said. Don is indeed one of the best, and a genuine asset to our hobby.

good to hear! Please let us know the results.

Great video of good fun. This would be a felony in Connecticut - one of the reasons I now live in GA!

You might want to try PPG DX-330. It is available at PPG automotive paint stores. A little pricy but it remove old wax, tar, etc.

Does anyone on the 'barn' know of any engine, not just an 'A' engine, that has experienced cam or lifter damage/failure attributed to the oil used? I'm not looking for an opinion, but a conclusion based on an engine failure analysis that would include the usual hardness checks, grain structure...

I use 65 lb/ft. I'm sure some will think that's too much.

Auto Zone Duralast Coil P/N LU800 has an internal resistor so you don't have to use an external ballast. NAPA has a similar coil but don't know the P/N.

Ditto on Classic Wood in Greensboro, NC. I got my Tudor wood from them - top rate.

TinCup, Thanks for posting this. Great pictures give a good insight to those of us considering installing one of Ken's units.

Spdway1, I have a '31 79-B, and there is another '31 79-B in my club The Southside A's. I don't know how expert we are. Do you have any specific questions or issues? Also as Brent mentioned above Will Cronkrite is the real authority.

I have installed Brassworks radiators in my '30 Tudor (4-5 years ago), and just recently in my '31 Panel Truck. Great fit on the car frame, and with the radiator shells. Everything is running 'cool'!
