I had a slight leak at the radiator neck which dripped down the inlet neck and would like to know if there's a way I can get rid of the stain without damage to the nice Ford Green which the rebuilder put during the rebuild. Thanks for your help. Indy A

And a "dab" did it !!! 5 Great Suggestions ...Thank you all. Indy A

Friends: Installed a rebuilt carb in my'29 coup; tightened the hex compression nut (new ferrule) down to two threads showing and get a very small leak (about a teaspoon every 24 hrs). Am afraid to tighten the compression nut further for fear of stripping the carb threads. Snyders sells an...

A Model A friend is installing a new water pump with the Thrust Collar kit behind the fan blade ...Does he need to grease the nylon washer ? Thanks for your expertise....

Thank you all...I'm very impressed with Ruth's and Ol Ugly's reply (they don't use the brass cut off when not running)... I think I'm going to follow that practice for a while. I did change the gas to a single nylon one that came with the original carbureator and .... no leaks???? Indy A

Bought a rebuilt Zenith carburetor 4 yrs ago which until recently worked well. Usually when I park my '29 coupe I turn the brass valve off in the cab so that the float bowl is empty. A week ago I didn't follow this routine and noticed that gas was coming out the rear opening so I ordered a...

I had the same problem...with a Dremel Motor Tool& cutting disk, I cut a slot in the end of the stud and the held the stud with a bladed screw driver and untreated the nut..Good Luck

Many Thanks to all Responders , especially Tom Endy, Chris & Sofield. Regarding the "Threaded Rod" method - From the You Tube Videos I got the impression that it was very important to do one bushing at a time using a shaft (maybe an old one) to keep the bushings aligned with one another. I'm...

Friends.. Watched two YouTube videos on rebuilding Model A Distributors... removing the old bushings is simple ........neither gives much information on the Installation process for the new replacements. One mentions using a vice but that's about all that was said or shown. I have...

Friends... I need your collective wisdom on wiper motors for my '29 coupe. The existing electrical unit died (probably a J.C. Whitney special) and I'd like to replace this with either and electrical or vacuum driven unit. Here's what i need: An interior mounted unit which uses the existing...

Thanks all that offered to help on the "leaking Sight Glass"... I had all the tools from a complete "re-install " 7 years ago... Followed one of the suggestions to slightly tighten the small glass retainer-nut and LO, the leak stopped. Decided not to attempt any more procedures.... Many...

Need some help !!! (1) How far down do I have to drain the tank (from full) so that I can safely open the glass retainer nut ? (2) can I replace the gaskets on lens without removing the large brass hex nut? Thanks in Advance... Indy A

I removed the three clips on my right/side headlight ( '29 Special Edition) to correct a slight mis-alignment from perfect vertical. For the past hour and at the loss of three finger nails, I cannot install even the first clip. Have you used special tools ?? I used small needle-nose...

Had the same problem. Cut a 2x4 about the height from the floor to the middle of the valve compartment - took a vice grip plier, laid the back of the plier on the top of the standing 2x4 (as in a fulcrum arrangement); clamped the jaws on the distributor shaft and whacked downward on the back...

Here's how I "did it".... remove the valve cover, put a vice grip on the distributor shaft and cut a length of 2x4 so that one end is on the ground and the other end is under the vice grips so that you can use the 2x4 as a fulcrum by hitting the back end of the vice grips so as to push the...

Remodelt is right... with my former bulbs (i've now switched to LED's) the am meter should show around 10 amps at idle and bulbs off.... with the bulbs on the meter should go down to around 0. The LED's use only about 3 amps but that's not material to this conversation... Apologize for the...

Doesn't T.J ( I believe that was the first responder's name?) had a mis print..shouldn't the am meter read "0" when the lights are OFF not on???

I've taken 3 A engines out....I found you can easily use two helpers to remove the hood; 3would be better. AND you're in trouble (transmission jumping out of gear) if you didn't replace the shims .....read page 2-22 of Les Andrew's Red Book... PlEASE!!!
