    Best Electric Fuel Pump?

    Try an Airtex E8902. It's 6 volt 30GPH delivered at 2.5 -4.5 psi, which will work with the Stromberg or Holley downdrafts without a regulator. If you want a regulator to make certain of your delivery pressure under all conditions, use the Holley variable regulator that is adjustable from 2 to 8...

    Cluster bearing solution?

    According to Van Pelt's book the cluster gears used with loose rollers have a smaller ID than the earlier versions that use the caged roller bearings.

    28-29 RPU Door Sill

    On the roadster sill plates all four holes are equadistant from the raised rib that follows the outer edge of the sill plate. On the open cab pickup sill plates the two rear holes are offset about 3/16 inch from the front two holes due to the cutout for the seat base. If the notch is correctly...

    Lowering model A

    I used a Fastenal steel spacer washer with an A wishbone and '36 axle; 0.250 thick; 0.636 ID /1.25 OD; PN33585. Price in 2018 was 2.49 each. I mounted mine between the bottom of the axle and the wishbone to maximize lowering.

    clam shell interchangeability

    If you are using the split, two-piece cross shaft from late 1928 I would strongly recommend that you change to the one-piece cross shaft. The so-called equalizer system with the two piece cross shaft is much more difficult to adjust for proper brake operation, has a lot more wear points, and...

    Early 28 Engine

    Has a forged rear main cap which is correct. Has a small-eared timing cover which is not correct. Should have a five bearing cam but you would need to remove the pan to verify.

    Model A only runs 40 miles

    Check for vacuum leak at intake manifold where bolted to the engine block; simple and cost free, often the culprit for poor running. Squirt oil on the joint and see if it is pulled into the manifold, or check with propane from an unlit torch which will speed up the idle if drawn into the manifold.

    Gap at wishbone to bell housing

    The sleeves are supposed to hold the upper cap firmly against the bottom of the bell housing. I would look for some interference between the upper cap and bellhousing that is preventing the cap from seating tightly at the bellhousing.
