    Model a has no spark. Please help

    I never would have guessed the pump would have been the issue. It ran fine for quite a while. I had the fuel lines off to time it and kept cranking to see if there was spark and had nothing. I decided I was tired of the little fuel spitting every time my dad turned the key on so I disconnected...

    Model a has no spark. Please help

    Ok. I figured it out. It had been a while of tinkering when I had time and the answer was so simple. The fuel pump I had wired in to the acc. Port on the key switch and it was keeping it from sparking. Why I have no idea but it did. It worked fine for a couple months and then decided it wasn't...

    Ok. I am getting somewhere I guess. If I open and close the points by hand I will get spark on occasion but I noticed when I do get spark that the spark at the points is greater also. Mean anything to anyone?

    Model a has no spark. Please help

    I did all the parts swap before it died and wouldn't re start except I changed the coil and ignition after the problem. Steve at Bert's suggested this swap. I did change the cap rotor and wires after the problem also. I am going to try a condensor now and see if by chance that is the problem...

    Engine rebuild advice needed

    I did talk with Bert's machinest. He is in fact the reason I am giving the banger one last go before I make the ole girl an AV8. He showed me that people make some nice parts and I don't have to be stuck with poured babbit. He suggested a shop to call in the Denver area but I can't remember what...

    Engine rebuild advice needed

    Hello! I have done quite a few searches but can't seem to find the information I have been looking for. I have a 29 Tudor that I finished three years ago. I will be honest and say I think I ran it a bit too hard for the babbit. It has a knock and the rear bearing is leaking like crazy. I have...

    Mounting window glass in channels

    I'm in the fire service and we cut laminated glass all the time on auto extracations. Its no big deal at all. If they are taking windows out to get you out I'm sure the body is being cut apart also so they can work around either type of glass
