Thanks Patrick; that sounds correct and vaguely familiar but I hope you realize, its gonna be cleared right out of my head again as soon as the SomeTimers kicks in ...and it kicks in a lot these days ! Kev

Mr PalAl, you have figured out a great Truth about me, I love keeping things simple with nice little easy solutions always at the ready - but the trouble is I so often get wrapped up in circles going to huge lengths in my mind trying to get there !!!ah ahaha Kev

Hey Patrick; Well maybe it is I don't know, for one thing I have have never been great at memorizing all the correct terms for anything - so I don't know what you mean by primary cable - I think one side of a coil is called primary? But then I think I read the BIG...

Thank you all for your thoughts / suggestions; to me it just comes down to ones personal choice of how much risk and how much reduction in risk one wants to take.I doubt many out there are trying to run on original wiring but just in case I thought I'd post...

Hello Fellow Oogers : Now that my car is legal to drive and I can begin some shake down cruises ,I have been thinking about how to make an emergency electrical circuit. Even though this car is all original, I would like to be able to make some small drives, at...

Since I'm all original I started here but I am sure it can be done better,Kev

Hello fellow Oogers, well I thought I'd post an update since its been a long while,starting with a picture of this sweet little Canadian Tudor I found a couple years ago, she's still looking pretty good for 90 years old, IMHO! I call her Miss Alida since thats where she came from ( a museum in...

Hello A Gang; Sorry I haven't posted in a long time, I have been extremely busy. I have written and recorded a silly little Model A Ford song, nothing fantastic but some might get a smile out of it, I am offering it free to anyone on Fordbarn or Ahooga sort of as a thank you to all the many...

Thanks a lot for the info guys, it helps a lot! Best Regards,Kev

Hello A Gang, yes I am still alive and kicking! ( I was just lost in the archives looking up info, ha ha!) So I cannot find any info on the Ford script that is stamped on the top of headlights, I personally have seen quite a few variations of it, basically a deep stamp, a light stamp, a wide...

Hello A Gang; I've been buffing on the Tudor all week, but so far I've not been able to take down a single stray aircraft, or blind any of the neighbors kids, can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks,Kev.

Hello A Gang ; I apologize for this fuzzy picture of my neighbors garage... ...but it kept popping up in every picture of my Tudor!!!! Kev

Thanks a lot Will, that would make sense, wouldn't it! I am sure they learned real quick on the assembly line the quickest/ easiest way to do each task. I have at least one person telling me privately that he has seen backwards too though; so perhaps some workers did it differently.Thanks again,Kev

Hello A Gang; More trivia; There is a vacuume fitting at the firewall that is seen in this archive picture that Marco and probably others have often posted, I have blown it up and circled the fitting in red.This picture shows the nut facing the motor side, but the JS does not say which way it...

Aha! The mystery is solved; thank you Marco! Kev

Here is a bit better picture showing the seam, I was going to offer five bucks to the first person to ID it ; but I have a feeling my email is not big enough for that , ha ha! Kev

Hi Dj; The gold is a solid not transparent and you are correct it is directly on top of the steel ; at least that is how it is on my summer 1930 car; perhaps others were different, Kev.
