Vintage Percision housing with 160 thermostat and Berg Radiator. have run 4,000 miles no issues. Warms up quickly in winter maintains 160 deg. Summer even on hot days over 95 deg engine runs between 170 -185 deg. Have not lost a drop of coolant either. Thermostats were perfected and...

I have seat belts in my A's A Rumble Seat is cool ,adults can make their own decisions concerning their safety. Children should not! Keep them inside and belted in! IMHO

Thanks

On the 29 CCPU has 21 like OEM On the 31 Slant 16 s They look great on the slant but distinct advantage on touring vehicle. Better handling less wondering, more tread on road for improved braking and a slightly better ride. Put modern shocks on the Slant which greatly improved handling and...

I replaced my water pump block studs several years ago with allen head bolts. Works great but now forgot what size they are? Thanks

Thanks Bill for helping my Nephew with the King Pins for his AA! Model A folks are the best for jumping in to help others!

Most 12 V conversions ditch the gen and replace with a one wire 12V altnerator.

Looking for source for set of AA 1930 king pins and bushings Thanks

This has been covered at great length. In my limited experience with two A's Mechanical breaks work great but most cars not done completely to achieve good results. Plan on spending $2,000 + Rebuild all internals, tracks rollers springs etc. Cast Iron drums Shoes Brake rods/ends pins etc...

That is the nature of flat heads. I had a 1948 Chris Craft with the K95 six. It was a beast of an engine. Ran great all the years I owned it. Beautiful oil pressure gauge with an 1/8 inch copper line back to the engine 8 ft from the guage. I always worried about the pressure... at best cold...

For those who run water only.... have you tested the water? Run for awhile then get some swimmig pool test strips to test PH you may be surprised what your find! PH should be no higher than 7.8 or less then 6.8 over is too acidic less too alkalyn.

You will see tons of "Open Titles" which is illegal in most states if not all. Once someone buys a vehicle there is a short grace period then you are required to transfer the title to the new owner. Lots of titles are not legit and do not match the car so the buyer sits on it and passes the...

Way too many variables to diagnose your MPG Everything from compression issues, bearings, tire pressue to dragging brakes can contribute. Running too rich and fuel quality can have a huge impact on mpg. I get 4 mpg average driving more when I use alcohol free fuel.... Real gas.

Re: TRANSPARK UNIVERSAL Ignition System problems I have several Pertronix Ignitors (FS ignitions) in stock dist. I have one running perfectly for the past 20 years have not had to touch it... Some folks do not like them and that is their choice of course. I have installed several in other...

The Puck-Puck idle when full retard sounds cool but thats about it. Normal advance of 1/2 to 3/4 I like an idle 500-600 rpms. It is happy and does not stall on hot days in traffic. Too low heat builds up and can become unstable. Just my own experience with my A

There is really no such thing as a 6 volt coil. The coil does not care. Ohms dictates voltage to the ignition Simple rule: The lower the Ohms (resistance) the higher the passthrough voltage to ignition. 1.4 Ohm coil no resitor for a 6 volt system 1.4 Ohm coil with resistor for a 12 volt...

When the Model A was built the only fuel was "White Gas" There was no lead added nor needed. No lead fuel will cause no issues with our cars. Now Alcohol in our fuel does cause problems especially when most our cars sit more than are driven and the fuel separates and makes a mess of our fuel...

The vast majority of vintage tires are made at factory owned by Coker. Brand name is molded but for Example a Firestone, Goodyear stamped tire are Not built by either company. Tread design and profile is what effects handling. Some of the stuff out of Chile was pretty good but no longer...

Slight retard works better with HP heads. I use a timing light and set it 2-3 deg ret. That works well with max advance of 26 deg but I only run the level max of 3/4 down. I am using electronic ignition which is very stable curve.

I built a small 1 qt aux fuel tank. I disconnect fuel output from fuel sediment bowl. If problem solved it is upstream to fuel tank. If not.... work downstream problem if fuel starvation will be at carb inlet or internal in carb.
