Should have included 1931 Standard Coupe Thanks Pluck

Looks like I did not post my message properly. I am reinstalling my front fenders and running boards. I have new fender welt and have the old welt for comparison. I know that the welt goes between the fender, splash apron and running board. Is there supposed to be welt between the running...

I am in no way putting my car in Fine Point judging - hence this question. When replacing the front running board brackets are the 'replacement bolts' a suitable substitute for riviets? I had to remove the brackets as they have suffered fatigue breaks at the top hole and were barely being...

From WANE TV in Fort Wayne http://wane.com/news/crime/gun-stolen-by-dillinger-gang-returned/ Could be on display at the Auburn-Cord-Duesenburg Museum?

When and where do these Polls post? I have not been able to participate in any of these.

This came across my Facebook page the other day and I had to share it here. Maybe the styling of the car would make this more appropriate for the HAMB ;) Coming from a family with a long history of playing with Legos - and now playing with bigger toys - I found this quite fun and...

I got home yesterday and after several sub freezing days decided I absolutely had to winterize the Coupe. I have been too busy to do this before now, and to be honest could not remember if I had antifreeze or plain water in the cooling system (turns out I never changed out the antifreeze from...

The beauty of any website - freedom to choose whether to use it or not. Informed decisions and risk assessments need to be done by each individual. Personally, I find that there are distinct benefits to Facebook, Twitter, discussion forums (Fordbarn) and plain old paper documents (actual...

I carry an old bottle jack from a '97 Jeep Cherokee. I have used it three times: 1. To help a stranded motorist (modern car) replace a flat (they did not have a jack) 2. On a 1929 Chevy I was hanging with on a weekend drive (replaced a flat) 3. On my car to see if it would work. tt fits...

Leo, I would suggest taking a screwdriver or drift punch and pushing at various points on the forward shoe to get an idea of what might be hanging up. You may have to do this a couple times. . . Just a thought. I like the ideas of the springs being over-stretched - but I also wonder if...

I had a recent issue after replacing my inner tubes (rubber valve stems.) This is a long message - so bear with me. To get the Dyna Beads into the tube, I used a bamboo 'skewer' to open the valve at the base of the inner tube. It appears that the inner tube manufacture had a lot of...

Mark, where did you find the $81 tires? Do you have phone/website?

I use Fordbarn for text based discussions. It's a discussion board. Sharing pictures on fordbarn is not as easy as on Facebook. Facebook is a tool for sharing short messages and pictures quickly. They are similar, but not the same. If I had to make an analogy - they are both wrenches - one...

I know it's not as robust as an iPod - but - it gets a lot of attention. I have a mobile, wireless device that stores nicely in my rear trunk. Unfortunately, I am only able to play one song before I have to manually reset. I picked up a Birch Portable Phonograph from Goodwill ($25) and...

I have gone through my SW horn, cleaning the contacts, replaced brushes, adjusted, oiled, etc. This past weekend we joined with 37 other pre-WWII vehicles for a car show at the Village of Winona (there were 19 Model A's) Everybody's Klaxon-type horns sounded very similar with the classic...

Look at all the steel and mechanisms; and to think it was during the Great Depression. Thanks for sharing.

Check out this thread on FordBarn - While this describes the 'alignment' it also shows the hole in the flywheel housing quite well. http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=34484 When I got my coupe and replaced the clutch, I found the hole clogged with dirt and no cotter pin. I...

Look at the back of the horn cover. There are two screws. One holds the cover on, the other adjusts the pressure of the agitator on the horn diaphragm (adjusting screw). Turn the adjusting screw in (clockwise) and you should feel it click as it turns. After each click, try the horn...

I purchased woven wire loom and fed all the wires through the cloth loom. I used the A Style connectors and bullets to create disconnect points between the inside and outside. Then mounted the relay/flasher using an existing hole in my firewall. The holes were pretty high up in the cab, so...

At the risk of being thrown under the bus. . . If I loosen the cam screw on the distributor and turn the cam, what direction do I have to rotate the cam to retard the timing? I recently removed the upper plate to replace the wire and adjusted points/timing per Marco's page. I think the...
