Try Bert's in Denver for original stuff.

I was told by one of the techs at Snyder's that the very early Modern Bendix were made in India and not good quality. Now they are U.S. made and good quality. Mine is over 2 years old and has been perfect.

Cast Iron or Steel drums?

May be a bad THERMOSTAT if you have one installed.:confused:

If the few drops of oil really bother you, buy a REAR MAIN JANITOR from Snyder's, Page A-127, item #A-6768. Put a couple of folded paper towels in the bottom and change every few weeks. They work great!!:)

Did anyone mention WW tires? OH! I forgot they weren't an option!!:)

My annoying rattle came from the heater valve that mounts to the firewall. The control valve flapper was a little loose.

I have the F100 steering box and it's great. Has anyone found any additional improvement installing the shortened Pitman arm too?

Whitewall owners never use distilled water in their radiator or battery either. They use nothing but recycled creek water.:D:)

I got my modern shocks from Snyder's and they are a perfect fit. Go with Snyder's. If you have any ? they will give you help all day long. They are great!! Good luck!!

I had a heater valve flapper that was loose and made a rattling noise. Anything attached up against the firewall can make strange noises that are hard to pinpoint.

Another Model A story: I was in high school in 1950, a friend of mine had this beautiful 1930 Model A solid black coupe his grandfather had given him when he was 15. He was now 17. That summer he and another friend of his, not me, took the entire summer and drove this coupe from Arkansas to...
