700rpm, good catch. I will do that. 1931, the intake is homemade with a Stromberg 97 on it. The headers are straight pipes and homemade as well. The car was used in Hill Climb events and it's LOUD!! LOL.

mjw, that's what I'm going to do after seeing Ross/Kzoo's speedster. I'm too tall. The top bar is right in my line of vision, however, the seat is just about right. I'm just going to take the top bar off and have a friend that owns a glass shop cut me the right piece.....thanks for the idea.

Does anyone know if there is a taller windshield I can put on my speedster? I'm using one that I believe came off a 29 coupe. Are all model A windshields the same height?

Thanks guys. I re-torqued as best I can. Some of them were pretty loose. The problem is that head bolts 2, 8, 9 and 12 appear to be stripped. I got them all to 50lbs but #9. It would not tighten up to 50lbs. Then when I went to 55lbs bolts #2,8 and 12 would not tighten.... Looks like it's...

I have oil seeping out from between the head and the engine block on my B engine. I just bought the car and drove it about 10 miles and noticed this. Should I re-torque the head? Is the torque on a B engine head 55 foot pounds?

I just bought a 29 speedster and it has a custom intake and straight pipe exhaust (as seen in the pic). It currently has a Stromberg 97. I want to get the intake back under the hood and I have to get rid of the straight pipes because every time I drive it through the neighborhood I wake up the...

I have both the Mitchell (synchro 15% 2nd, 3rd, and reverse) transmission and the OD but haven't installed them yet...been too busy. Just got done with the Snyder 6.1 HC head and love the difference it made.

Does it have a title and do the engine and frame numbers match?

Steve, A K&N filter on the oil filler tube? What does that look like? Which filter?

Steve, what does your heater look like? Is it a hot water heater?

dfish, got any pics of the heater? Are you running 12v?

John, Where do you get heated seats? Is it something that any upholstery shop can do? Does LB offer a heated seat upholstery package??? Really interested in that modification. Sounds like a good solution without having to add a bulky heater. I have a 12v conversion so I'm hoping to do that to my...

I bought the Weber carb and intake from Mike's-A-Fordable out of Ga. Great service. No problems.

Can anyone tell me why all of a sudden I am getting a lot of white smoke inside the cabin of my coupe when I accelerate? Based on the smell it is definitely burning oil and not an electrical problem. I did an oil change a few days ago and I have been driving the car a little hard but I don't...

I'm removing my rear axle to install the Mitchell OD. Is now the best time to grease the rear spring?

Do you still have the chassis?

I would also like some pics. ken@gppinc.com

Call Jerry's Model A Store in Casselberry. Talk to Jerry Isben 407-695-8911. He has a man named Doug that he has do all his engines. Tell him Ken Smart sent you. Jerry is a good guy and I hear Doug builds a good model A engine. Thanks and good luck.

Ryan, maybe I missed it, but how long is the trailer? You mentioned one foot was added to the height. How tall is it inside? I'm considering the purchase of a trailer. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for posting pics. Nice rig. Your car is gorgeous as well. I have a Ford F-150 with a V8 also. I'm...

I ordered my Mitchell transmission and OD in Oct. According to Sue it should ship Jan. 10th. I'm pretty darned excited to get it installed. I'm also installing a new V8 clutch with the flyweights and a lightened flywheel. I guess I better make sure my brakes are working great! LOL.
