Thanks! I've been away. I will try tomorrow.

Yea I wish I had done that! It went in the garbage a week ago. I'm also installed a new leakless water pump and I'm installing a new brassworks radiator. New gooseneck with a water temp sensor + gauge.

I have a generator, not an alternator. I did just install a new 2 bladed aluminum fan from Synders which is supposed to be a copy of the original except thats its aluminum. Possibly my crank pulley is not original. Someone added a metal pointer and a mark on the crank pulley which I assume is...

I bought the belt fron Synders. Its the only belt they have for the A. Part # A-8620

Thanks. I agree it cant be the right belt.

Thanks. I've heard alot of great things about his steering upgrade. I'm leaning that way!

Prior to buying my first 'A' several months ago my mechanical experience was mostly changing fluids and grease gun. Years ago changing points, condenser, timing. My Dad was a machinist but I am not. I like "bolt in" options.

I'm replacing the fan belt on my '29 A. The old one had lots of cracks. I loosened the generator, Its pushed up against the engine block. I have the new belt over the fan pulley and crank pulley. Its inches away from going over the generator pulley. Any tips? Do I need to get some kind of tool...

Hi Don. NOS. Its new, not used?

Lots of great info! Ford Barn has been a real asset. Thanks everyone!

I took a look at the Gano coolant filter. What a great idea! Never knew about it. I will get one. Thanks!

If I put in a section of lower hose into the upper hose to hold the thermostat in place can it be a short section or should it be the length of the upper hose? There must be a fairly strong force of water going through. Some people say drill a couple of small house in the thermostat so that...

That does look good. But I've already got the water outlet gooseneck tapped for the water temp sensor.

Thermostats on As are installed in the upper radiator hose? Thanks.

I agree with you Gene. Tomorrow I'm putting in a new Brassworks heavy duty radiator. A leak less water pump. An aluminum fan to replace my original. After that turn signals. My 7 tooth steering box has a lot of slop so I'm thinking about a Mel Gross steering column.

That is one clean car! Beautiful job! When I bought my A it already had the T5 installed. It shifts like butter! The only issue I have right now is the speedo doesn't work. I took the speedo out and tested it and it is good. So the cable which runs a very convoluted path to the differential is...

Thanks everyone for the tips!

Ok. What damage can you anticipate storing an engine “dry”?

I'm going to be putting a new radiator, water pump, fan, etc on my A this weekend. Due to some family obligations I may not finish this weekend. Is it ok if I have my engine without coolant for possibly a week or two? Concerned about rust.

I did what MCHinson and Bruce recommended. Knowing my coordination is not what it used to be I removed the front bumper first. 2 bolts and thats off. It all went smoothly.
