Fuel pressure is 2.5lbs. Everything is brand new so nothing is deteriorated. The surface for the plug gaskets must not be flat. They had cheap plastic gaskets for the plugs which leaked, so I put copper washers in on their suggestion and they leak soon after installation. They are just a very...

Rehashing an old thread because I'm working on these carbs right now. Installed a 3x2 setup using the 9super7 carbs. Car ran fine no problems. Gave it back to the customer and after about 60 miles it ran like crap and was leaking fuel from the center carb. Called speedway and after some major...

Is it going to run 6 or 12v?

I'm trying to find a pair of Model T carbs. I'm just looking for a match pair that are rebuildable and don't cost an arm and a leg.

A downdraft gets you much better acceleration but your fuel mileage goes down the crapper.

I am going a different direction and totally rebuilding my A from the frame up so I am putting my body and radiator up for sale. The body is rough but an original Ford cowl and doors. The rear of the cab and bed are random pieces I had available. The cab and bed are one piece el camino style. It...

Will take $200 for the intake alone.

Little too much for me to say perfect. Perfect for me is original paint with wear marks on the window edge from some dudes arm resting and all the wear around the hood hinges and door edges. That thing looks like it sat out and got pretty damaged. Would be an attention getter though.

I agree with Ol' Ron here, Ive seen many cylinders washed from guys putting too much fuel to a stock motor just for looks.

I was driving my son to school, engine braking coming down a hill and the cam gear stripped off 3/4 of the teeth. Not just one part but 3/4 of the entire gear. Had her towed home and replaced it with a fiber I had in stock. This was the original gear in my car. So it lasted from 1929 to 2014. Id...

I just replaced my fiber gear with another fiber this spring. I only used the fiber because I had one. If I had to order one I would have used aluminum.

Of course Henry could have made quiet gears if he wanted to, but there are a lot of other factors when putting a car into production at a large quantity rather than just can they do it. Timing chains and belts are largely used now because of the distance between the crank and cams. Most modern...

Im sure the judging standards guys will tell you exactly whats what, but from my practical knowledge it could be an early 31. You cant just switch out the dash and speedos between the oval and round. the tank is shaped differently behind it.

If you want show and not performance block off the outer 2 carbs. It will run on the center like stock and be much easier to tune.

Also the fiber is much quieter. The metal gears in 1929 were not quiet like the ones today. Plus remember your Ford if well taken care of would last you at least 5 years.

I cant remember where but I read Ford actually never drilled out the shaft bushings in the B distributors. Every one Ive pulled apart was not drilled.

Also make sure the rear bumper is secure, grab tight and give the tail a good shake.
