Kinda on the same subject. Is there a way to tell if the jets are old original ones? I mean some of these carbs have been rebuilt a lot.

I recently took a gamble on this one. The price was right and the transaction went great. I even ordered a second one just to have. The bezel is raw aluminum color not chrome. It's been working just fine for months now. Seems good quality not cheap Chinese. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144710704730

Arizona Model A great place to go and walk around and learn learn learn . I love going there to buy parts..and yes he'll ship too!

Anyone know where to buy.. if any.. some door panel blanks for a 30 5 window coupe?

Thanks guys! Just assumed there might be a actual reason besides money. And shocks on. Rides much better.

Been laying underneath my coupe looking at how to install some later style shocks and was wondering something. Anyone know why ford stopped the frame at the rear axle? You look at the design of the bumper mounts/brackets and think wonder why they just didn't make the frame that much longer? I...

I used a arbor press on my top. I just set up some little blocks and used the press to push on the middle of the carb. Little at a time with patience. Used a straight edge to verify. And test fitted to body of carb. Shouldn't taken pictures but I didn't. I know a lot of these carbs are bent from...

As a mechanic over the years occasionally we'd get a spot of grease here and there. To remove. We'd use non pumice hand cleaner. Rub it in. Wet rag it out. Vacuum spot. Apply as many times as needed. Never stained or discolored material. But as noted before. Try a inconspicuous spot first.

What could be cooler than driving that? I'd be all over it if it was available to me.

Wow that was great!! Thanks for sharing

I went backwards and traded my 1959 oldsmobile dynamic 88 for my current model A. I was bored of the Olds and never owned a model A. Don't regret it one bit either.

That's was a cool read. Thanks for sharing

You guys are so impressed with this 3d printing...5 axis milling...live tooling lathes.. .A lot of us younger guys are impressed with the tool and die makers who made the dies and such to make these Model A's. Just think of the radiuses that had to be finished by hand with a file. Now that's...

Good for you and great for her....She's already ahead of her generation and the generation older than her.

Who and where is actually buying this green in a spray can? Everyone seems to be out. On back order and some saying it won't ever be again.

Question on why everyone makes it complicated. Not being argumentative either. I filled my tank and used a wood dowel used to support small plants I stole from mama. Marked full.. then half..then quarter tank. Just using my eyes to divide the areas on the dowel. It's only 3/16s in diameter and...

Just my 2 cents ...but I believe we as Americans have done it to ourselves regarding the big picture. It starts with little things and then escalates. Most people will think price first! And so manufacturers go overseas and sell the parts for cheaper and people buy them AND they make more...

There might not be many....but there IS younger guys who would love to learn from someone like you and would help you work on your car as needed. Good luck with your decision. ...
