The Les Andrew Volume II "green book" is a great source for this information. Good luck, Kyle

Hello KR500, I would be thrilled to get an instruction sheet and schematic for my vintage Snap-On MT-640 coil & condenser tester. When were these built? Thank you, Kyle

Awesome!! Now I can fine tune the adjustment knob and test a few coils to see which ones are the best. Thank you for taking the time to measure that gap. I'm sure it was not easy. Kyle

That chart is great! Thank you, Kyle

Bob, thank you for taking the time to measure that. My Snap-On MT-640 model's stationary point appears to be about 3 times longer than the Snap-On MT-335 model. The adjustment knobs are different lengths. From your photo I think the two brass posts are about the same distance apart. Do you or...

Sorry to hijack this thread- I have the older version of this Snap-on tester, (the MT-640), but it was missing the adjustment screw/knob when I bought it. I did make a replacement screw/knob for mine but I do not know what the "gap" between the brass points is when the indicator edge of the knob...

Happy New Year to all on the Ford Barn! I'm 58.75 and I've had my one and only 30 standard coupe for 7+ years. Kyle

Thank you for the information Brent & 30 Mike. Kyle

Hello guys and gals. I recently acquired some original top wood pieces that I would like to use for patterns to fabricate my own. I think it is mostly maple. My questions: Is it better to steam and bend the wood, or can I laminate the wood and just cut it with my band saw to shape? Are there...

Hello Guys, I know this is an old thread, but it appears the answer was deleted. Does anyone know how the upholstery material is attached to the back rest frame of an early 30 coupe? Thanks, Kyle

Two horns.....first time for me to see a Model A with two horns, cool! Happy New Year, Kyle

Hello Joe, I was also fortunate to find one a couple years ago in an old guys barn covered with oil and straw, he had a Craigslist Listing for some "A" parts. I thought it was kind neat, so I cleaned it up, fixed the float, float valve, and made a new gasket for it. I bolted it to my...

Sorry, misread post. Just got my Model A News.

Hi Tom I always learn a lot from reading your threads. I am currently going through my generator and would like to know how to treat the rear bearing. Once I get the rear bearing and races cleaned up, how many drops of oil should I put on the bearing and what type of oil do like to use before I...

I did not want to hijack the thread started earlier today, but it did get me thinking about a pair of reproduction perches I purchased a couple years ago, (say that three times fast). I want to rebuild the front end of my coupe this summer and would like to know if any of my fellow Ford Barners...

Thank you everyone for the comments and suggestions. Maybe I should try and clarify my original question about packing these specific bearings. The 14 "rollers" are hollow with a pin running through them that holds the assembly together. It is very simple to pack grease around the rollers but I...

Hi fellas I'm back from a great Thanksgiving dinner at my brother's home. I appreciate all the comments. I also thought about soaking the bearings first in 600W oil, but like Bill said it would change the viscosity of my Mystic JT6 grease. I don't have any trouble packing a "cone" bearing by...

Hi everybody, my name is Kyle and I got my Model A a couple years ago. Right now I am working on wrapping up my biggest project with the car, and that is rebuilding the transmission, rear end, and rear brakes. I have been sitting in the back of "Ford Barn" class for a couple years now and going...

Hello, I would like to buy the hand crank. How would you like me to pay? Thanks, Kyle kyle@applegatehomecomfort.com
