Great input all, I better get going and get my description and pics ready to post!

I swear I looked there and saw "The SOAP Meet!" HAHAHAHAH kind of tells you I shouldn't even drive huh? Thanks!

Hey all, I bought mY 1928 of an old friend who was dying of cancer and did it as a favor. Although I like old cars my real love are 1950-60s cars. Although I got bit by the bug for a short time and bought a number of parts I never got into it to really add to the car's history except to drive...

Thanks chuck I know where the search button is.

Interesting hypothesis Chuck, but how can you tell if the frame is sagging? on mine, the previous owner seems to have bent the rod slightly to compensate but to no avail.

I was messing with taking some pics of the engine for a fiend and noticed the spark lever rod is rubbing on top of one of the engine Nuts. I would assume that Henry did NOT intend for this to be so. I was looking for how the rod should make the journey form the steering assemble to the...

Thanks Badpuppy, I got her running last evening and forgot to post I was too happy!. Purring like a kitten ;-)

As I tried to write before being logged out, as usual there are several resolutions to one issue. So I take it I have a Type H contact but a twolight plate. I bought a new twolight harness and switch body from Snyder so I can go that route but will not be authentic to my ’28. I like to try and...

I wrote a whole bunch of stuff and then when I submitted it said I was not logged in. I was logged in so it must of timed me out. I am tired of getting kicked out when I write more than a sentence! And then losing all my effort

@joe K: So you guys are suggesting the someone tried to put a twilight plate on top of the H style contact? That explains why it was so difficult to get the light switch at the steering wheel to make sense when trying to get lights to work. It doesn't explain the "shavings" i found in the...

Thanks for the advice @joe K I will double check them now.

I got a new light switch body from Snyders. If I recall it was labeled as 28-29 but appears to be for a twolight not an H config. There is also a caveat note saying you have to do about ten thousand things to make it work!!! I noticed a VERY VERY faint crack in the "circuit board?" of the H...

Tried to upload the pic of the inside of the switch but it might be too big? Just over 2mb

Hi All, I've been off the grid for a while but now back and looking to replace the wire harness in the old 28-29 Sport Coupe. I disconnected all the wiring and removed the light switch body. After removing the end of the harness from the body (Spider) I found shavings (see attach.) in the light...

Sorry, I misspoke. I believe to rerun a new harness I will have to pull the "horn rod?" I think that's the right part.

Tom, I am going to do just that. I was adding a separate turn signal system and was having a heck of a time. On each discovery it was obvious a new harness was needed. Since I already have the turn signal wires run. I just have to get the harness with no turn signals from Snyders and I should be...

Not that exact statement Y-block. I was using poetic license. But there are enough discussions on this forum about Model A theft that many seem to think no one would steal a Model A and even if they tried, no thief could even start it. If that is so, why put an anti-theft alarm on it, why put...

p.s. I am so tired of the wires that have been added, taped, spliced. dangle and hang from every possible corner of this vehicle, I think I need to rip it all out and start again from scratch with a harness from Snyders. That way I know what the heck I am dealing with. Have a good Holiday weekend!

Yes, thanks Tom. I know why one would put an alarm on a car so someone wouldn't steal it. But so many people on this forum say "Why even protect a Model A - no one would steal it because it s not worth stealing." I can't wait to pull the interior panel and see if there are wires connected to...

Why would you put a door alarm on a 1928 coupe? So, if this is true, this door jamb has been modified and is NOT correct for a period 1928 coupe?
