Thank you. Bobby

Yesterday I started my 1930 Fordor and turned the light switch on. When I did this the engine stopped. I got out and checked the lights and they were not on. I moved the switch lever to all positions and still no lights would come on. I turned light switch off and attempted to start and it just...

Knocking Noise Update, complete engine rebuild done by Doug McPherson in Vero Beach. Boy does she sound different. I'm picking up today from mechanic. Babbitt worn slap out in all caps, cracked block and high compression head, bored 80 over with sleeves and one sleeve dropped down and something...

The pictures were part of the wall decorations. Not for sale.

While shopping for Hurricane Irma supplies I stopped at the Leesburg, Fl. Cracker Barrel and saw some new pictures of a group of young people at the beach with their Model A. Thought I would share them and maybe someone would recognize them. The picture of the group has the caption "An Airish...

He called Thursday and said he is cleaning my block and will start as soon as he gets the one he is working on done. Told me he is retiring as well.

Dave I called Doug yesterday as well looking for an engine. I sent you a message several weeks ago asking about Doug.

Follow-up After weeks of searching for a mechanic that could and would work on my engine its in the shop. The mechanic called yesterday and asked me to stop by. When he dropped the pan there were aluminum pieces in the pan. They were not shavings but small pieces. There were no shims on any...

If the water pump is working properly shouldn't it move the water fast when you look into the radiator? The specs say its pumping 36 + gallons a minute or thereabouts? I greased the water pump before looking to see that I have a leak-less water-pump and now it's overheating. There is water...

Fords Garage Rest. in Ft. Myers is pretty good too.

George I did what you suggested and the knock almost completely disappeared. I have sent an email to the local club but haven't heard from anyone yet. The noise still goes away on its own after 30 seconds or so.

I did try a couple of things that were asked. I started the engine after a while and the knock noise started, pressed the clutch and no difference in sound, let out on clutch in gear and no sound difference. Knock noise stopped after about 20 - 30 seconds as usual. Hopefully it will be what you...

I'll have to wait for a while to try clutch just tried and no noise too soon.

I just restarted and got outside and the noise is at the rear of the engine best I can tell. The noise went away shortly after starting it took 20 - 30 seconds and it was gone.

I did check oil, it's full.

Started my 30 Fordor and there is a knocking sound from the what sounds like the rear of the engine or bell housing. After 30 seconds noise stopped. Shut engine down and restarted and no noise. Shut engine down and waited for 15 minutes and restarted and the knock was there again, 30 seconds...

Thought I had it right side up.

Been waiting for 3+ years, finally loaded my Newused 1930 Fordor yesterday. One happy, happy old man.

Stopped by a consignment shop in Wildwood, Fl. and saw these in a display box. Is the price out of line?

The Villages basically butt up to Ocala, just a little south. St. Pete is about 1.5 hours south of Ocala. Don't know if the one in St. Pete will be there this weekend, it's on CL and lists for 12500 obo, 31 Tudor, new engine rebuild and paint, interior good according to ad.
