Happened to me with my AA in the inspection station. How embarrassing. Waited 40 min and it started fine. Left it running and completed the inspection and passed:o

Figured out the problem. Inside the distributor, the screw that holds down the other end of the points came loose and made the lever side short out on the cam. tightened screws and it runs fine thanks:)

The spark is not getting to the plugs. I lift the copper and there is no spark between the distributor and the wire

I'll give it a try. Thanks

My AA ran great last Sat to take my neighbor to the prom. I started it to come back home and it didn't sound right. I had no power and couldn't make the hills. Sounded like it was out of time and I got it in the garage and it died and would not restart. Started the next day but ran rough and...

Figured it out. Replaced points and condenser with old school stuff, cleaned the carb and got her started tonite. thanks for all the help

I was driving my AA the other day and the engine started to sputter and eventually died. I thought it was out of fuel , but have plenty of that. Noticed that the spark was not there. The ignition switcth tested fine and I am getting power to the points but the truck still wont start. Could...

Have a '30 AA myself. Just flushed the radiator and added 2 1/2 gal to top it off. Still trying to figure out the quirks

I guess we will find out on Sat. Dum Dum Dum.. Let you know

Instead of spending money, just mow the grass when it is dry, or just buy a putty and scrape the bottom of the mower and don't be lazy. Coming from A landscaper

I drained the anti freeze and about 1.5 gals came out. I then flushed the system with the soapy water and the water came out relatively clean. The truck also didn't overheat when the radiator was full. I think I did not have enough coolant in it , in turn it would overheat. Tomorrow I will...

Will this process clean the radiator or does it need to be professionally done?

So if the fluid comes out dirty, the radiator needs to be cleaned

I have a 1930 AA truck. Runs great but over heats. Started it today, ran for 5 min. idle and steam started coming out the over flow pipe and the radiator cap. Is the radiator too full or thermostat issue? thanks Karl

Just obtained a 1930 Model AA that has been sitting for 30+ years. The truck was restored and the engine rebuilt 30 years ago. The engine came with a letter on how to break in a rebuilt engine and 10w oil was the oil to use. The truck was driven enough to put on around 200 miles and then was...

So the wire coming from the battery and the wire to the lights must attach to the same side of the cut out? Looking over the fender, the wires are on the right hand side of the cut out and the left side is only attached to the generator. Right?

I put a new cut out because I did not have one on the car and now the lights and the horn don't work. I used my test light and I have power coming in to the cut out but not coming out. Is the cut out bad? The guy told me that I needed 6 volt battery and pos. ground which I have. Looking for...

I live in central Ma, near Worcester

The valve has not leaked before, I think the float may be set too high. thanks for the help

First I would like to thank everyones help on working on my ford, Now, I have another problem. I turn the car off and then shut the fuel off and the line does not leak, but today, I shut the fuel off and the carb was leaking fuel though the air cleaner for about 5 min. Is that just left...
