So much for Kind and Respect! Brent

$15 for the wrench and $15 to ship it! I just bought a 8 point 7/16 socket from Amazon for $9 shipped free.

I refuse to pay Snyder's over priced prices. I will spend a whole day making my own first.

I looked through all my sockets and wrenches for what would fit the brake adjustment shaft. I don't want to damage the shaft by using a loose fitting tool. I was trying to find a socket in my collection that fit ok. I think I want a 7/16 8 point socket but not sure. What do you use? I have...

I will be 85 in April. Getting old os Not for Sissies !

Sorry,,,I was attempting to show a photo of my Marvel Carburetor, but I failed.

Well, you can bet that My 29 A saw it's last trailer right after I backed it off the trailer I hauled it 90 miles home on.

thanks, mkaminar and Herb. I think I just found a YouTube that shows how the kit is installed. Now all I have to do is: check out my brakes.

When going trough all the boxes of stuff that accompanied my 29 Sport Coupe A, I came across a unopened bag that contains a "Deluxe Brake Floater Kit". is there any of you who has experience with these? Pulling and checking out the brakes and wheel bearings is one of the items I plan to do...

After reading this post about the "quick point gap setter" I went out to my shop and machined one with my lathe, then milled the needed feeler gage, and it works ok.

We, (my wife and I) went to the Albany, Oregon swap meet. Wow, that was a big place. I can't believe they put that all together for just a one day deal. Only problem was we didn't take the wife's Walker and she had to give up, so we didn't get to see it all. Next time we will be better equipped.

Cool, We might be in Albany next week in,,would be fun to attend, thanks J Franklin.

Ok, so after a lot of tapping and prying on the distributor and squirting some penetrating oil back under the distributor, I got it loose and out. Now while out, I have ordered new bushings, and drive shafts and a modern points set up. I have some anti seize compound and will coat the...

It looks like most states have about the same as far as registering our old tin. And my insurance was way less for Liability and collision. I was surprised at the cost. Now if it would stop raining and blowing so I could enjoy my new tin, I would be very happy.

They didn't tell me of any restrictions, but I will check. I don't plan on it being a daily driver. I sure as hell don't want to drive among all the idiots on Hwy 101 where I live.

Today I finally got a chance to go to the DMV and get the title of my 1929 put into my name. $110. Then I ask to register the license plates to my name, No Charge! In Oregon My license plates that are called "Historic Vehicle" plates are Free as long as I own the car! Is this something...

I ordered a set of original point today. I also took the points cam out and polished with my Dremel and polish compound.

Ok, so my new to me 29 A was hard to start and I couldn't seam to get it to idle and it wanted to do a lot of backfiring. So as per Phil the A man, He said the best way to set the points was to remove the distributor and set the points with !he distributor on the bench, But the distributor...

My thought is, the points (original) are pitted and the condenser looks a little discolored, and buying the complete modern setup is only a few bucks more than the old style. And like JaJay said the new modern set of points are readily available. The new complete setup is only $35. I was just...

OK, so I have been looking at "A" catalogs an found what say is Modern Points. I'm not a purist, If I was I would have to repay all my Social Security and medicare :D,. have any of you converted to these? My next Question: is it a simple conversion?
