How about going from A very frequent poster on the old old barn to a nobody here Lol.

A blue tooth speaker sitting on the package tray. Great sound and listen to any radio station in the word for free. Also you can answer the phone hands free. Have a power inverter wired in to keep them charged. However most of the time I prefer to listen to the car.

My 20 Ton swaged em just fine

If it takes you two hours to change one spark plug that is better than two hours in front of the Computer or TV

Re: No Spark - NEED HELP! Is that a oil cooled coil mounted upside down?

Looks like mine years ago

I remember hearing/reading somewhere that the early heads were a little higher compression than the later ones. Not enough to be noted however. Dont know if that is true.

Years ago when I installed my Snyder's High Compression Head. I took note of this. The chamber shape was a more definite hart shape compared to the early 1928 Head. I installed a spark plug in the Heads and flipped them upside down and level. Using a syringe I filled the combustion...

Ya they don't stay clean forever. Looking at your picture makes me think of spending a summer day in the future cleaning.

i stop by the VFF and enjoy my reading there. But hey this is the Ford barn. As it was the Original ford barn before this. I tend to ask questions here first. I miss the original members and knowledge put forward. But hey I am getting old myself. Merry Christmas to both FB and VFF

Re: Brake drum (axle) retainers for Model A Mechanical raking Well I installed my hub retainers. I opted to install them on the bottom as there is lots of room down there.

Re: Brake drum (axle) retainers for Model A Mechanical raking Seems like not done too often. But I think it would be a good idea. I will bend some up and post them mounted when I get around to it.

Re: Brake drum (axle) retainers for Model A Mechanical raking That is a 1932 hydraulic backing plate that is flat and has bolts to mount the brake cylinder. The model A has a dished backing plate. No bolts in that position either. Just rivets for the brake springs are there. Different beast...

I am gearing up to change my ring and pinion to 3.54s this spring in my 1930 coupe with original mechanical brakes. Over the years its always been in the back of my mind what if a Axle broke and my Hub ran off. So I am thinking of making up some Axle retainers and install them while I am at...

Run that flex pipe into a old 5 gal oil pai buried in the ground. Then a piece of pipe to take it to daylight. Suprising how quiet they run

Nice car. I had the most fun with mine in the years I spent taking the kinks out of mine
