These were duplicated from my original one by a Aircraft Machinest, he even used a special drill to make the ID correct. There is no seam on the sleeve. I only have 3 left out of 10. The cost is $28.00 plus $3.50 for shipping any where in the U.S.A. I am not making a thing on these sleeves, just...

Do you have Stop Light when you step on your brake pedal ? If not , your tail is not grounded. Ron

There are 3 types of original secondary removable wells; type 3 is the one to use, it is the one that is being reperduced , it has a recessed grove under the compensation jet so the gas is not obstrucked entering the secondary well. Original compensation jets are very short and use a gasket...

I replaced my Radiator in my 30 Coupe, got it from the Brass Works; the inlet was not correct, my radiator cap would not fit, I called the Brass works and they would not correct it. I will never purchase anything from them again. When the Brass Works was in Turlock, CA they did excellent work...

As said by others, usually interference of the brake cross shaft is caused by frame sag at the motor mounts. When I restored my 30 Coupe I checked the frame before setting the body on and found 1/4 inch sag in the frame on the driver side and 3/16 inch sag on the passenger side at the motor...

I use STP 100 percent in Transmission and 50 percent in rear differential plus 50 percent 600W. The STP is constantly being moved up by the transmission gears and the same action takes place in the differential with the ring gear. I do not use STP in the engine as it all ends up in the bottom...

I hqve used Castoral GTX 20-50 for over35 Years. Change oil between 1500-2000 miles, even though the oil still looks new. Have filter and insert main and rod bearings on 2 of the engines. The reason I started using Casterol GTX 20-50, there was a article in Motor Trend Magazine that rated oil...

Suggest you refer to the Service Bulletins; you do not want to put AR wheels on "B" drums or "B" wheels on AR drums. Ron

The 'DIAMOND block is built with hard seats in the exhaust and the Camshaft is a ''B" Style. The A and AA blocks use standard valve seats and standard "A" camshaft. Ron

also keep the armature clean. Always use plain fine sandpaper to clean the armature. the faster the armature turns the better the sound. some of the replcement diaphrams are junk, the centter contact is poor quality and wears off fast. keep the felts lube. ron

A good friend of mine is the one that had the lens made, he lives in Escalon, CA. I am the one that was selling the lens, only had 25 sets. Sorry I do not have any more for sale. Only kept one in case one of mine get broke. These lens were cast in 1953, and the mold cost was $1,000.00, the work...

Restore the "A" as you found it. After it is restored and you decided to have it Judged at a meet, the earlier items would be covered under the 60 day rule. As long as there was nothing wrong with the older part the Assemble Plants were directed to use up old parts before using the new part...

I agree with WHM, engines pans are part of the engine cooling system. I also believe you should replace a original 2 blade fan with a new aluminum 2 blade, as the original can rust from the inside where you can not see, and it does not show up if you have the fan magnefluxed. Ron

All A engines have to breath, that is why all oil tubes are not the same, Ford no doubt was getting complaints about blow by, you do not have to have worn rings to have blow by. This is why I suggested, for a quick fix, using a copper scower pad as it is course and even though it collects oil...

You can use a plain copper scrub pad, cut a large piece and place it in the tube under the oil cap, push it down to the louvers. As the oil collects on the pad it will run back into the oil pan and not end up on the left side of the engine. Works well for me for a lot of years. Ron

I torque the nut to 90-95 foot pounds, then I continue enough to line up the cotter key hole. I have had no problems doing it this way. Be sure to use a original axel castle nut 5/8-18, they are special hardened, this way you will not screw up the threads on the axel. Ron

I believe the angle is 7 degrees forward of center. Remove the brake rod, operate the lever by hand, add 2 0r 3 pills and check arm location, continue adding or removing 1 pill at a time until arm is correct. When the correct angle is obtained, adjust brake rod length. Ron
