No problem with Mike’s but would advise confirming parts are in stock.

Great read. Thanks.

Bud did accumulate lots of Model A parts during the past 50+ years but was one of the nicest persons you would ever want to meet.

It’s a sale for the estate of Bud Pike. RIP.

Shameful!!!

Best wishes and prayers from central Florida.

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

Re: antifreeze, was not aware of that. Other than just water, what is the preferred alternative? Thanks.

I would return it to the rebuild shop and at least get an assessment of the problem before investing in a replacement.

Great looking car. Nice film. Thanks.

Although I have always liked the style of the Coupe, the primary reasons for buying the car in 1960 were local availability and price; $150. Have never regretted.

My Coupe may do 50 mph but I don’t wish to push it that hard. Before doing much distance driving, I will need to do something to reduce the rpm. Perhaps it’s mostly a mental thing.

I have eliminated the lower plate and connect directly from the coil to the points but can someone educate me on the wireless plate? Thanks.

Installed FAM’s in my 31 Coupe about 3 years ago. Likely from Snyder’s. No problems in my case.

I purchased five 17” Excelsior tires for my ‘31 Coupe and am pleased with them.

Brent, I have enjoyed reading and learning from your posts since joining this forum. However, I find your position on this thread disturbing. You have criticized the Model A community as being too cheap to pay for a component or assembly that correctly meets the need with respect to form, fit...

I fully agree. I recently pulled a spark while working on a friend’s car by allowing a wrench to touch the disconnect post (mounted on the firewall) and a head bolt at the same time. The disconnect switch was in the “hot” side of the battery.

I converted my “driver” to 12V negative ground and 1-wire alternator. Simple conversion and still use the original starter which seems to be happy if you don’t stand on it too long. Very satisfied for 3 years now.

The front grease fitting on the leakless type is for show only. The rear fitting should take grease but recommended only a small amount every 500 miles. The leakless type has a sealed front bearing and does not require the packing material used in the original pump.

I agree. A good habit to protect the coil and possibly even the car and garage in a worst case scenario.
