    Stipe Oil pumps

    If my foundry ever gets on the stick, I’ll have the oil filter/relief valve housing available. It has an external adjustable relief valve so you can set your pressure to the desired amount. My housing has been tested and works perfect for 10 months now. Made specifically for the Burtz block...

    American Classic Tires

    The ridge on black walls appear to be same shape as whitewalls. I installed with larger letters to outside on my black walls. I had a bad experience with the tubes that had radial molded on the valve stem. Not the tires fault. I have American Classic in both my A’s 21” Tudor and 19” pickup. I...

    Whats up with Ecklers

    Jeff, sorry to hear about what happened in Illinois. My sister-in-law was a teacher for over 30 yrs. Unfortunately she received very little before she died. Their health insurance was just as bad as they didn’t kick in until 6 months after she had a stroke. I think she got one month payment...

    Whats up with Ecklers

    In my opinion this is why employees should have filed a class action law suit especially when employees pension fund is involved. How do I know? I once worked for a company that shut down and liquidated all of their assets. The president was using pension funds and assets to feed the presidents...

    New Engine QA and Paul Shinn's Concerns

    Another area that should be checked is the thrust surfaces of the crankshaft. A bad spot will show up on the thrust bearings.

    New Engine QA and Paul Shinn's Concerns

    Not the bearing surface, on the backside where the clearance is tight next to the stud. The procedure is in the online builders guide download at modelaengine.com

    VIN productions date

    The MAFCA website is one place to start looking. It looks like sometime in March 1930.

    New Engine QA and Paul Shinn's Concerns

    Experienced builders file the corners of the bearing inserts where they are close to the studs at #1 and #3 main bearings. I’ve seen similar situations of this having happened. “If we just ran a hone through it a couple quick passes” … NO. Inspect if there is a question in how it feels. Take...

    New design turn signals for Model A?

    In the past year I’ve driven over 22,000 miles with a signal stat 900 with no problems. I use it every time I change lanes or make a turn. Not saying there might be better solutions out there, I just haven’t had problems with either of my 900 in either of my A’s.

    32b head gasket help? Which one?

    I only use this gasket and pretty much have followed the same procedure CWPASADENA does to install. Believe it or not, that leaking stud and nut shown above could have been prevented with spray on sealant and instructed from BEST gasket. Definately do not use the premium gasket...

    32b head gasket help? Which one?

    Best brand 509G. It’s the GraphTite head gasket. If the head doesn’t have the 2 small steam holes in the middle then that’s the one I recommend.

    Odd Shaped Hole in Radial Tube

    Here’s 1 of those blemished tubes that was loosing air a few days ago. It would lose about 5 lbs a day. I decided after needing air after the first fill it has something wrong. I suspected tube and sure enough …

    Odd Shaped Hole in Radial Tube

    I have the same blemish on at least 2 tubes and started to leak air either a day after mounted or several days. These tubes have radial molded on the stem and I seriously doubt they are radial tubes. Recently I had a tire on the front that started loosing air slowly. I had one replacement tube...

    New Focused-Beam LED Headlights

    I have had flickering problems with mine and I suspect alternator problem. Recently they seem to be ok driving local. My only complaint is the high beam needs to be slightly lower than what it is. If I adjust for the high beam to be lower, the low beam is too low to see anything at a reason...
