Marvel Oil starts in 1923.

Just curious...is anyone else running Corn Head Grease in their trans, or is Indiana the first?

Haven't used Champions since the 70's when they became junk. OOOH Boy, here we go!

Yep, like me.

NLGI #0 (semi-liquid) grease is used by many people for this application. Stops the leaks, but 'levels out' or flows enough to keep everything lubed.

Lowering the float level a little will make it run leaner. Not a jet solution, but food for thought...

I've had my share of carb rebuilds (from Whizzers to DC-6) and theory classes too. I agree with you that the high altitude will cause a richer mixture. I must believe that Ford (or after-market) offered smaller jets for your situation. I don't know where to find them though...sorry.

If you use only 600W, it will almost certainly leak.

Yes, that's right, round speedo.

Frame is unreadable since I'm not going to lift the body. Title was regenerated by the last owner based on the engine number...so no help there.

Wow, good to know.

Thanks for helping me zero in on the build date of my truck. (The date is not shown on the seat riser cross member) The one piece splash apron cut-in date is a lot earlier than I originally thought. Even earlier maybe? I have the round speedo too. What was the cut in date for that? My...

When did the 1931 one piece running board Splash Apron start?

Strongly recommend that you get a local Model A club to help you.

I have a factory muffler on my truck. It seams like a lot of the baffle holes are much larger than they were originally. I keep wondering if I should replace my muffler to get that nice factory sound, or to keep my muffler factory original. :confused:

Awesome!

Have a friend with a '29 roadster PU that I helped a few weeks ago. Kept overheating. Yeah, you guessed it. His T-stat was about 5 years old.

Al is right on the money with the throttle shaft. The drain plug idea is a good one!

Just so you are aware, the rubber tipped float valves can stick during operation, but seem fine when you take them apart. Guess how I know! I've used the two-ball type since the 70's, when I can get them that is. Rebuilders typically don't use them because they are more expensive. You must...

How long does it run after it warms up? Just instant death, or sputtering before death?
