Mr. Allen Swift (Springfield, MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly P1 Roadster from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928. He drove it up until his death last year.....at the age of 102 !!! He was the oldest living owner of a car from new. Just thought you'd like to see...

One thing you can do for the starter, if it's just a driver is to install a solenoid with a push button switch on the dash rail.

"Ok im a newbie Model A owner of about 3 months. I have a 28 AR Sport coupe that had set for 12 years. It runs great and is easy to start. Now my problem....... Whenever i turn it off it backfires add to that if I take it out and drive it more than 10 miles it overheats and boils over. Yesterday...

Why would anybody want to lock up all four wheels? Isn't this the reason for anti lock brakes on modern cars and aircraft? IMO your not really stopping if your skidding. There is nothing wrong with the stock set up if you set them up the way you're supposed to. Sounds like a poor excuse not to...

[QUOTE=Patrick L.; I usually have a Gold Cup tucked between the seats/cushions of my car.. Hey Patrick,What kind of coffee you have in that "Gold Cup"? :p

"Stop signs are only a suggestion" Here in New York they mean: Squeal Tires On Pavement

Patrick as I read your post I was saying to myself ,this sounds like New York. The last sentence confirmed my thoughts. I get these a** holes all the time with the model A or the Harley. I lost many a gas cap on the Harley by throwing them. Now they are too expensive to hurl away so we use...

I trailer my Model A and Kubota bucket loader/back hoe with no problems. I use a Grand Cherokee '05 with a Hemi engine. Pulls great, no swaying at all, 65-70 mph. Poor gas mileage. Trailer weighs about 1700 lbs.

"Can a starter pull considerably more amps because it gets hot?" Yes!

"Empty Barrels make the most noise"

Maybe the heat has nothing to do with the problem. If this car is running a repo. ignition switch, start there by jumping it and see what happens. When I first got my car it would run fine then cut out with a backfire. Turned out to be a bad ignition switch. Nothing like getting stuck on the...

Hey Scott, is that what they call a Super X Hederson ? Bob A. 48 years of riding Harleys.

Maybe this will help Good luck

Stan, I carry my vapor lock clothes pin wherever I go just in case I encounter this problem.:p

"By the way, when the motor was running bad, it could idle O.K." How could a car run good at Idle with Vapor Lock? Larry B. hit it on the head. Remember guys, I'm a "non believer" of vapor lock in a gravity fed system. Oh by the way I was out with my coupe today here on Long Island N.Y. Temp...

In addition to what Ford 1 stated, weak intake valve springs too. A vacuum gauge test would be a worthwhile test.(somewhere around two to seven inches fluctuation below normal indicates poor valve condition)

Re: Confessions of a Model A Modifier – Model A Upgrades? Hey whatever turns you on, Here is a picture of my friend's modified '31 and my stocker '31. We both drive them daily (except when we're riding our bikes) and enjoy them very much. I have to admit, his is a little faster.

Mike, I didn't open your link. Same chart but much clearer.
