Ha! Aint that the truth... I once rebuilt a transmission using the Snyder's catalog.

Lord have mercy on your soul! I kid, I kid but I asked a similar question and many an ol' timers scolded me for trying to put numbers with a "seat of your pants" adjustment. My engine currently idles cold at 450 and warm at 550 rpm and I was never able to locate any specs. Yours seems a little...

A neat and informative video to check your gauge is adjusted properly.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucSV66JVyDc

I agree. So far the series has been fantastic... I even learned a few things I didn't know like how Tesla started as Edison's assistant. Given how good the series has been so far I'm really looking forward to seeing the portrayal of Mr. Ford.

One trick is to also put a nail or pin or something in the little hole drilled in the axel for the cotter pin... Sometimes you really need to put a lot of pressure on the axel with the puller and I've seen an axel or two with those little holes collapsed under the pressure.

Hello All, Having more time then funds currently, I've lined out a few projects on the A for this winter. One of them is addressing the front leaf spring which sets a bit low (the rear seems to be fine. In the past I've used a U channel and a BIG hammer, but I kind of feel like saving my...

Are you saying you can take some of the sag out by loosening the ubolts and retightening them evenly? My front in is sitting a little low.

I like them... are the ones Mac's sells better quality and a better fit worth the extra cost?

So whats all involved in putting one of these in? is there a kit?

I've been looking at installing a pair of splash pans in the motor compartment and looking at the for pictures... Does anyone have or can link to some pictures of how these puppies look installed? I am specifically looking at how they attach outboard of the motor (frame rails?) Thanks...

What a mess!! That vinegar sure did the trick!! Will the vinegar eat out the seals of a "leak less" pump?

I've not heard a single bad word about mitchell products... but i was looking to spend about half that at max! guess i better start putting some $$ away for it now...

Can you please tell me more? are these specific overdrives? ball park $$?

How much does this cost? :)

Hello All, The next big thing for my model A is an overdrive. My current set up is 4.10 gears on 16" v8 rims in a sedan. what overdrives are the best bang for your buck?

The other day I jacked up the drivers side wheel to check the brakes... and out of nowhere the radiator started leaking... ONLY when on the jack stand (lifted). I couldn't locate any pools of coolant that would pour out when tilted... but sure a i lifted only the drivers side, coolant leaked off...

Very happy to hear your can do attitude on the stalling... I am determined to address it. 1) sight tube gauge from snyders 2) fully rebuilt carb using adams instructions, used aerosol carb cleaner and a paperclip for all "secret passageways"... they were free at least free and flowing then...

they are also refereed to as tachometers and you'll probably have better luck using it... They do make 6v tachometers though... here http://www.westach.com

Sounds like a vocational opportunity to me! Those brackets are sweet!!!

Yes I've noticed it hardly ever does it unless I'm coming into a stop over speed. I first noticed it when I was trying to located a drag in my brakes. I hear from many veteran A drivers that this is a very common issue, all of whom all say to pull down the throttle a few notches to prevent it...
