Good morning. My ‘30 Tudor both the spark advance and the throttle levers are very tight. They move but very stiff. I lubracated the pivots on the steering column under the hood with minimal changes. Any idea why both levers would be so stiff?

Good evening. Does anyone have directions on how to Time a Model A engine when installing the modern style FSI Distributor?

Great thanks everyone!!

Does anyone have a video they can share on how to time a Model A with a FSI Distributor 6 volt system? Or even a detailed instruction? Please and thank you. Merry Christmas everyone!

How do you set the timing on the model A with the FS Distributor?

I see them Nu Rex Timing adjusters they seem slick. On the other side of it it wouldnt hurt my feelings to be rid of the points/condenser set up on this coupe. It drove me insane last spring I replaced all components and went through 3 condensers brand new before one of them actually worked.

I’m very intrigued by them. I know my wife would enjoy the car more.

I ask because I see Mikes Afordable sells the”Modern” style 6 volt distributor

Good morning,I was wondering if anyone has installed a modern distributor set up on their A? I’d like to get one for my wife’s coupe so she enjoys driving it more without her advanced timing anxiety and the overall dependability of the points set up. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Great thanks everyone!

Congratulations Andrew!! I could only just imagine the excitement of winning such a prize! Enjoy!!! Thank you Paul for the announcement

Good morning. I was wondering if anyone knew what used speedometers are worth? I have 2-3 of them 28-29 Early 30 Oval. Thank you

Oh wow ok then that’s about right. Yikes I was worried about that! Thank you!

Good morning, I inherited a ‘30 coupe that has a new V8 clutch and lightened flywheel. The clutch grabs very high before the car gets going. Is this to be expected or should it be adjusted accordingly? I don’t want to fix what’s not broken it just feels way too high to me.

Wow awesome advice thank you! I will get better points and definitely keep an eye on them with my multi meter. Going to add a test light to all the cars took kits as well. Thanks a million everyone!

That’s for sure friend! What a headache that thing gave me!! Hahaha Now I know my go to if it happens again. I been hearing their are better condensers out their that don’t fail as much I’d love to get a few of them!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to update all who gave me advice about our coupe running poorly. I must have timed that car 10 times! I finally replaced 2 condensers and then replaced the points. New plugs and set the gap on the rotor/distributor It was the points and condenser that made the...

May be something to think about thanks buddy!

Nkaminar sorry your trip was cut short but we don’t like them black clouds! I’m going to replace the condenser today and set the points and timing. Do you know anyone who has installed an FS modern distributor on their car? This is my wife’s sport coupe I’m tempted to make it more user friendly...
