Make sure you are going from negative of coil to a 6v resistor then to the old distributor. If you do not have the resistor then you are sending too much voltage to distributor points.

Thanks for the info

The front wheels will have no brakes the rear are hydraulic. The car is an old rodeo clown car that does wheelies. This is why I am scared of the short hub lugs.

The crazy thing about this car is that it has a 48 ford rear end in it so we had no problem with the rear. How long were the bolts on your front spacers?

I just looked at some pics of a "b" rim and that is what is on front.

Benson, I think you found the problem. I bet money you are correct on the "B" wheels. Just curious can the front hubs be changed out to fit "b" wheels or will the hub not fit model a spindle? Trying not to have to wield an extension like cfordman even though it might be last option. New at...

Oh ok. I guess I was confused. I was thinking if the rim fit on the elevated ring it was good to go. The rims are 15".

Charlie, the rims are old stock rims that fit fine on the hub. My problem is that the studs barely stick out past the holes in the tire rim. I just feel uncomfortable about driving them that way even though the prior owner did. The rims are old and fit perfect around the center of the hub...

I will post a pic as soon as possible. Sorry but by modern rims I meant not spoked. The rims do sit flat against the hub with the raised area already through the hole with a nice fit. The problem is that the lugs maybe have 1-2 threads that go past the outside of the rim. The people who had...

I am putting on modern rims for 29 ford but the lugs on the front rims are too short. I have a 1/4 inch of thread to use. Does anyone know of an extension or what kind of lug to get to replace and also the best way to remove them.

Now that I roughly know the year. I looked and found how to adjust the rear brakes. http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=112160

Charlie, from that site it seems like it might possibly be a 1948 car rear end. That is going by the diagrams for the brakes but the diagrams didn't show the adjustment wheels.

Here are some pics for the rearend.

Trying to get some done. Will post soon.

I recently bought a 1929 Model A which was used as a rodeo clown car and did wheelies and donuts while doing the wheelie. I am not for sure what kind of rear end it has. It is built like the old model A's except beefier. The fellow that smoothed the drums for me said it was off a truck because...
