I'm also a Studebaker guy. I saw this car on display at the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, IN. It's a beautiful restoration of a beautiful wagon. It took quite a few years to complete the restoration with parts that were donated by many Studebaker folks. By the way, I'm also a...

Congratulations Tony!!!! Enjoy the day. Rog

I' ve only used 10W30 detergent oil in my '30 Ford since I bought it in 2000. Of course the engine was rebuilt and very clean inside. The oil works as advertised. I don't believe in non-detgergent oil at all. I'm convinced that if Ford had detergent oil available to him, that's what he...

Bruce, Did you see what your started? Rog

Although the map doesn't show it, New York does indeed have E10, at least downstate. Rog

Today, July 9, 2015, I received my July/August copy of the "Restorer" magazine. I was starting to worry about getting it. How has everyone else fared? Rog

That's a great looking chart. Does anyone know if it's for sale anywhere? I have a lube chart on my garage wall, but not as nice as this one. Rog

I'm jealous. I haven't received my copy as yet. Must be patient. Rog

Not being a mechanic, I really appreciate the knowledge and wisdom that I find on this site. Thank you Tom for solving what has been a mystery to me regarding the generator. Rog

I have the metal screen Air Maze filter in my Model A. I can't discern any restriction of air into the carb with my Air Maze. The one I'd be concerned about is the paper filter. I can really see how that filter could restrict air flow. I just have to remove my filter every once in a while...

The switch for the dome light in my '30 coupe is on the light frame itself. Rog

That's a nice truck. Where do you park such a thing? Rog

I routinely all Sta-bil to my gas tank after every fill up. I don't trust modern gasoline to remain stable while the car sits in the garage. Rog

All I know is that at least once a season, I need to add 600W lube to my steering box. I have no idea where the stuff goes, but it needs a refill once in a while. I'm not really concerned about it. I don't see any indication of a leak on the garage floor. I might just try that Penrite stuff...

I use ethylene glycol 50/50 in both of my vintage cars for years and they're doing just fine. Rog

Since your Model A engine is rebuilt, by no means use non detergent oil. I use 10W-30 detergent oil in my "A" and it works beautifully. What brand you use is really up to you. They're all good. I routinely change my oil every autumn regardless of how many miles I drive during the year...

No question about it. Snyders is really good to deal with. I started dealing with them many years ago when I owned a Model T. Rog

I look at The Old Motor virtually every day. It's a terrific site. Rog

Yes, in both of my antique cars. Rog

Since I haven't had an upholstery job done in many years, I really can't judge this upholsterer's price. However, it does seem steep. If I were you, and I'm not, I'd look into buying a kit. Doing a roadster isn't as difficult as doing a closed car. I did it on my '24 Model couple a...
