I have a couple of these Kal-Equip meters, two are Tachometers, and the other two are Dwell meters. All are in good cosmetic condition, but only the Tachometers function. Does anyone have these Kal-Equip Dwell meters that still work, or are mine just "special" ? Thanks !

I second / third / fourth to recommendations to drain the cooling system, flush, and refill with straight water, and run that way until you are DEAD CERTAIN the leak is fixed. Antifreeze in the oil WILL destroy the babbit. PERIOD. Make there is an ignition cable-clamp under # 8 head-nut, or...

Awww. Looks like Robins.

How much time, space, and mad-money do you have ? Figure 50 % may have deck cracks. This is my finding.

Great video, thanks for getting it flipped !

EP (Extreme Pressure) lubricants should not be needed in a Model A. They are essential for Hypoid rear-ends, which were developed later-on. Model A just has spiral-bevel in the rear. Straight-cut spur-gears in the ******.

With that worm drive and those tiny wheels, that tug should be able to pull the hangar too ! :eek: :cool:

Amen to that ! :mad:

This is a GREAT show for old tractors, hit'n'miss engines, flea-mart (lots of old rusty man-stuff!). 1/2 hour South of I-80 below Stroudsburg, PA. :cool:

Well, water will cause the ferrous parts to corrode after a while, and the resulting rough surfaces will abrade the babbitt, but ethylene glycol reacts chemically with the babbitt, causing it to crystallize and disintegrate, rather rapidly. In the crankcase, neither one is "good", but...

If you are running anti-freeze, suggest you dump it and switch to water / rust inhibitor / Bars Leak. If antifreeze gets into the oil, it will destroy your babbitt !

If you have a beater, the used oil could go there... do you know anyone who has a waste-oil furnace ?

Not just Model A's, Steve... :(

The Grapes of Wrath... Here's a thread discussing the sad end to the car from the film... beginning with a link to the auction flyer for the "sympathetically restored" Hudson Super-Six... I really got my fur up over this one... :/ http://forums.aaca.org/topic/142559-todays-wind-em-up/

The old cotton cord tires may have been softer... but then often the rubber hardens with age. I heartily agree with #2 - it goes a lot faster if you're not worrying about protecting nice paint. I haven't tried mounting band-new tires; I've only worked on the replacement / 2nd-hand tires that...

I drove my '28 coupe year-round first year with it, no shocks. I didn't mind the bounce too much, but in wet weather, when the front springs got wet and loosened-up, she'd jump around like a kid-goat. Cornering was dicey. Old Henry wouldn't have put them on the car in the first place if they...

I believe it was called "Bonderite" and it was a reddish-brown.

5 something : 1. They were nicknamed "high-winders"... ;)

If the belt is riding equally "lower" in the groove of both pulleys, then there should be no change in fan / pump speed. The effective diameters of both pulleys relative to each other is still the same. If the belt is touching only on the inside, flat surface of the belt, and not the Vee...

Very nice ! That Plymouth is a sharp little car !
