    Happy Model A Halloween

    Mulletwagon, I think you need to lite a fire under the people who work on your car. They take a tad long to fix things. Happy Halloween, Mike

    intake boring

    Just checked Snyders and geez it might actually be cheaper to buy one already bored. Either that or do it myself and I sure don't have the time to sit there and do that. Thank you all. Mike

    Model A specific tasks for evaluating car & seller before buying?

    Since you are new to the Model A world, be advised that closed cars have a lot of wood in the bodies. Some more than others-like the fordoors. If are looking at one make sure you look at the roof, it should have a slight bulging from the bows and the padding. There should be a welting around the...

    Model A models for tall drivers?

    My 2 cents worth are a closed car (30-31 tudor/three window sedan which have seats that adjust backwards). You should be able to modify the seat to move it back even further I believe. A Pheaton/Touring car since you like open cars (granted they have side curtains and not windows) might be good...

    Otwell Health Heater one piece

    Not super rare but they can be very useful at keeping you hot in the car. Maybe sell it off to someone who can use it along with the baffle that goes into the firewall. Mike

    Are you using Champion W20 spark plugs?

    I have a 5.5 head and was using W16-way to cold as I was sooting up like nobody's business. Changed to W18 which I think are the equivalents to original Champions, the sooting went away. The porcelain went from sooted and black to clean and white. I am running a Marvel Carb which I may have to...

    intake boring

    Herb, you DO NOT get 20 MPG driving at 75 MPH;). Thanks all, I just want to make sure boring it out will not interfere with the throat being two different sizes. If nothing else it should help with efficiency and maybe just maybe give me one more HP!:)

    intake boring

    OK, I am going to install a brand new exh manifold to seal up the leak I have. I am going to send the manifolds in to be planed flat obviously. BUT, should I have the intake bore out so that I can use a Model B someday? I currently use a Marvel carb but who knows I may want to a Model B for...

    Bud Vases

    Hi Ruth, I had a H.S. student design several styles, where I picked one and he printed it. I have a set of Carnival glass style vases that have six or eight sides. So that is what they fit. Mike

    Bud Vases

    I put mine just after of the rear door. That way you won't knock your head with them if they are by the rear window or the B pillar. The down side is that getting out of the car one day I broke the support. So I will have to have one printed again. Mike

    Frozen Engine - what to do?

    If you pull the starter check to see if any of the Bendix bolts fell out. There may be a bolt at the bottom of the flywheel locking it up. Mike
