I bought a trunk lid skin from them. Howells, For a 1931 Model a Coupe. Dont know to this day what it is supposed to fit.

Mine did the same thing. Vendor is sending me a new one.

In my AVATAR you will see my '31 Coupe with original paint, except for fenders and hood. Many complements on patina. It will stay that way forever.

Read the post. I did not say it stops.

Larry 40 Im in Springfield.

Question for the experts/ My timing is dead on. Starts perfect. As soon as it starts I bring the advance all the way down. Idle goes up quite a bit. Should I set idle after advancing? If so. should it stay running with advance retarded?

One more question. I installed a new coil. The old one had only one mark on it, MADE IN USA. The new one has + - post. Which way should it he installed? Wire from starter to + or-? Just went out and started it again after an hour of setting and fired right up. I like it ! ! ! !

Thanks to all that replied. Started checking from Batt. all through the system. Found wire to ign. switch loose. POP out cable worn . Made a new popout cable, fire right up. Ran around 15 min. then "I"' shut it off. Started right back up. Shut it off again, waited around 15 min. Started right up...

Jason NO to all of your questions. Installed old condenser and it ran for awhile.

OK Installed old condenser. Fired right up. Ran for around 5 min. then died. Ran long enough to set carburetor. Ran real smooth. Pulled high tension wire and did check again. Blue spark but not all the time . Intermittent

OK gentlemen Ist all back together. Wont start. Turns over very well. Timing is dead on. New points, condenser, and coil. Holding high tension wire 1/4" from head bolt I get three or four real blue sparks about 3/8" long, then nothing. What am I missing?????

I cleaned my tank in the car with "WHITE VINEGAR". almost down to the shinny metal. Welcome to the site Stan

Thanks alot Bill I just went out and tried it the way you stated and worked very well. The upper and lower rings are about 100 degrees from the butted ends and around 3 1/2" apart. Ill settle for that. Thanks again Stan

Any one out there have a secret on how to keep the "THIRD'' ring in place. Grant says that "TWO"' colors should show and "NOT"' over lap. I get it set like that, then when I install the upper and lower band ring it jumps out of place and over laps. Any and all comments welcome Stan

Thanks for the reply. This is what the machine shop is doing now. I know #4 is a little larger after hone. Will know more this afternoon. EGGS are making the pistons Stan

Thanks for all the feedback on my "TOY" I have found a new set of .120 over pistons and rings, head gasket. After looking everything over, and honing cyclender walls. I will go back with .120 One thing I did not like was all rod nuts were of different style some original, no cotter pins, some...

Dont think .125 will work well in a .120 hole?

EGGS will make me a set of .120 over. But then nobody makes .120 rings. Cant afford sleeves, to go back any. Need an answer?????????

Get er done!!!!!

Asking for advice on where to by new pistons. No China junk. Need a set .120 oversize.
