Ford knew there was a problem with oil leaking out the rear main when going up hill. There was a modification done to AA trucks because they were the ones that were doing most of the uphill work and leaking. I believe it is in the service bulletins how to fix that.

If you are thinking about this, join a local chapter and listen to people who have cars. Decide what you want to do with the car. Daily driver, restoration project etc. Then do you want an open car or closed. If you plan on doing a lot of driving a sedan is a good choice. If you plan on...

I have been rebuilding a multiple disk clutch for an up coming article. My next project is a redo of a 1928 Phaeton I restored in 1965. I took the multiple disk clutch out at that time, but save all the parts. One of the key components for a smooth clutch is the flywheel. It is grooved and...

Welcome, looks like a great choice for a car. Hope to see you along the Model A highway soon. Try and take in a Model A event with the family and meet other's in the hobby.

Copyrights do not expire, nor do trademarks. Patents have an expiration and many assume the others do to, but the writer holds the rights to the piece for ever. Ford get's a little touchy on people reprinting anything with the trademark items.

How about a solution that keeps the original wheels but gives you 50,000 mile tread life, is a radial and a little larger than the tires currently on the car. We have put them on two cars for the article coming out soon, the are Excelsior tires from Coker. They are more money but you get two to...

We reviewed some of the problems with the float a motor mounts a few years back. One of the key problems was people tightening the two pieces together with that center bolt so tight they change the engine position enough to effect the front axle geometry. If you do use them you must keep the...

I concur with Pluck get connected with a local club and let them assist in your search they may know of something with in their club that is for sale reasonably too. They will also assist with getting it on the road etc.
