When I was in the Army in Germany in '56 to '59 we used German Ford trucks to haul laundry. They were flat head V8's with the distributor behind the rt. cylinder head. I had already owned a '33 a '40 and a '46 before I went there and was into the engines on all 3 and friends cars too so I was...

The four blade fan was installed in 1934 by dealers for customers that complained about running too hot. I have not checked it out myself but supposedly on a slow hard pull the four blade fan will move more air, that is; slow engine speed. I always install a one-piece two blade fan. I advise you...

I have replaced more than a dozen rear axles on early Fords because the owner or mechanic insisted on just leaving the nut finger tight. On V8 it will shear the key but a T or an A it will most likely just wear the keyway wider. I am replacing a model A axle right now because it is so badly...

Need good used axle shaft for a model A. Aaron Griffey (510)4151219 agriffey@yahoo.com

I need a steering column mast jacket for a '30 model A. Will buy a complete column if you have one.

A very close friend is insured with Hagerty. Last year his car was totaled by a rear-ender. He and his wife were both injured. The insurance company paid them off for the car and fought for them for other claims and expenses just as you would hope any insurance company would. I was impressed. No...

Damn!! the stuff you learn on these forums! I didn't know that. "Anerobic" means that the sealer is the type that cures when you seal off the air supply. I like it in some places because you don't have to hurry.

I know a guy who got a warning from a cop that saidyou can't have people in the rumble seat while on a public road or highway anymore.???

Auto Zone has a louder 12 volt flasher I've been putting in my 12 volt cars. Not too loud but loud enough to notice. Not model A related but my Chrysler Town & Country sounds a chime if the directional lights are left on for too long. I like that feature for when I'm cruising the freeways with...

Bert's does not have one for a '30. Thanks to all who have posted on this subject. I've been around model A cars and a few trucks the last 60+ years and never knew about the solid front mount before.

Model T Fords had coarse bolts. When changing to a high compression head most Many good T builders use model A head studs. Especially with high compression heads. In order to get the same gasket crush as 50ft. lbs. you'd get with a fine thread you'd have to torque a coarse bolt to 72. When you...

Thanks folks. So how can I tell the early from the late? I need one for a '30.

Is the front cross member of the frame the same for all years of Model A?

The Volvos used 80-90 except when they had an overdrive. In the overdrive equipped cars the transmission bearings were different and the trans and overdrive used ATF. Since there is a clutch in the overdrive that engages when the unit is under power it would be bst to use ATF as it will not...

I just did a '40 Buick this year that had 0ne front and the single rear hose plugged. It's not uncommon to find a hose jammed up with it's own material

Swap shoes from one side to the other. Then reread 40CPE's post.

Now if you could chain the together with a bike chain on the sprockets of each and synchronized them so that 2 had the pistons up, one was half way down, one half way up and the remaining two were down-would it sound like 6 cylinder engine? If you had them all fire at the same time would it be...

Suppose it had been a big-rig that just pulled into the lane from a stop on the shoulder and was doing 45MPH. It would be the one that rear ended the other that was injured and the one that got hit wouldn't have been hurt. It is perfectly legal and normal to maintain 45MPH on a freeway. In June...

I need one too. Do you have another front crossmember? (510)415-1219 agriffey@yahoo.com Thanks
