Hi All, I am not familiar with the 12 volt conversions for the Model A so I have a question. I thought the output of the ceramic mounted resistor would be 6volts going to the ignition switch and then on to the distributor points. The one I have in the shop is 12volt in and also 12 volts out??? I...

Hi Mart, Thanks The left front was soaked with brake fluid and we replaced the shoes with new ones and i have a shoe machine for arcing them to the correct shape. Springs are good and all hoses were blown out to clean the system of the old brake fluid before we installed new fluid and all...

Great input thank you. Here is what we did. We have just replaced all wheel cylinders and master cylinder and cleaned out all lines and all should be clear and open. I am a Model A guy (mechanical brakes) so what is the adjusting procedure? I do not know if I am doing the adjustment correctly. I...

Just got a call back after two weeks maybe my post did some good Thanks to the Barn

I went and it was pretty good. Not a lot of Model A parts but a few vendors who always make it good. I bought a few items including a 29 instrument panel in real good condition for $20.

If you have a three door Model A you would own a sedan delivery!

Update the rear bracket is not at the peak of the radius and is forward of the peak so that it is raising the muffler higher. I have in touch with aries working to a conclusion I will keep you posted

Thanks but the drawing does not give the height from the top of the rear curve to the bottom outlet.

It is a 1931 Chassis that I have just built..and I believe the rear spring to be correct. it is the correct rear clamp altho reproduction and in order for the height to be correct (below the axle) I would have to turn the clamp up side down which of course would not be correct

All new and no visible damage but the muffler is sitting high so the rear pipe is pointing at the axle housing really strange I am going to call Aries tomorrow and see with the drop measurement is on the muffler

I am sorry I am using the hole in the bottom of the frame. I said that wrong. but I meant it is on the top of the bottom rail of the frame The exhaust hitting the rear axle housing will blacken the paint or worse.....

I am using an Aries Muffler with the correct rear clamp on top of the frame with the bolt going thru the frame from the top. The muffler is sitting quite high and the rear exhaust will definitely hit the rear end axle housing. I thought it would be below the Axle housing? Can anyone help me on...
