Try a Model A parts vender. Hardware stores do not carry Model A parts

I don’t think jak is looking for an engine.

Maybe we should all stop buying anything from the venders. I am sure Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, Oreillys would be good for replacement parts. And we laugh at the so called farmer fixes. I feel lucky we have Model A venders to supply parts and oil. Mom and Pop suppliers are leaving the business...

The better beads are ceramic. I have been selling them for 20 some years. I have never seen ceramic beads turn to dust or wear a tube. Glass bead could be a different story.

I think turning the key/ignition of in a modern car is the last thing you should do in most emergencies. Shutting of the key will make the car extremely hard to steer and make the car almost impossible to stop. I would think putting the car in neutral might be first, then you can somewhat...

Is there a picture available of the finished crimp of the part mentioned above, A-13076?

Brent is right on target. It is one thing to do stupid. It is really stupid to make a bad video with bad information for the uninformed to work with.

Just a hint. Anytime you think your car has stalled from flooding, turn off the fuel, start the car and then turn the fuel back on. This method will prevent additional flooding while trying to start the engine

When you clean the sludge from the valve chamber keep a vacuum cleaner running so the oil holes don’t get blocked. Like what a dentist will do when cleaning your teeth.

What is the problem with the original set up? Also the plate spring is eliminated. Without the spring the upper plate will vibrate. For over 60 years I have worked on many Model A’s. One of my pet peeves is all of the home made fixes, custom wiring, short cut repairs and so forth. The...

I would go with Terry’s measurement.

Another thing to understand when removing studs. When you cut the drum with a hole saw or the Goodson Stud Cutter the stud bolt of a properly swedge bolt will not fall out of the hub. The stud should have swelled enough, when originally swedged to the hub, and will requirer a slight press to...

Bruce you may be right, but here is my experience. The hole in the drum is tapered. Wide at the top, narrow at the bottom. The hole saws that I am familiar with are straight. The drum thickness is maybe around 3/16” give or take. A very thin hole saw would cut maybe just right at the very...

I think there is a some of bad information here. Jimczeb wants to replace one stud in a hub and drum assembly. If a hole saw is used he will destroy the drum for future swedging. No mention has been made as if he is working on a steel drum or a cast iron drum. The stud bolt for a steel drum...

Your location might help solve your problem. It is not the kind of job just anyone can do without the proper tools and experience.

I have ordered a couple hundred drums over the last twenty years. Mostly from Brattons, a few were from Snyders. Never a problem. Would you consider telling us where the drums came from.

Maybe before using oxalic acid try to Google side effects of oxalic acid.

Many engine builders will tell you never downshift to slow a car down. Down shifting at a high speed puts a strain on the engine. It is better to use your brakes than use the engine/transmission to slow down. You’re not driving a race car with a disposable engine. The Corvette owners manual...

Rocket1. Be careful. You are on a path to maiming yourself or a bystander. And that is before you take the hub and drum out of the press. The press must strong enough not to flex while pressing the studs. You need a strong fixture to hold the assembly in line while pressing. Everything...
