Yes it can be done, I have done it 3 times and have a power point showing what needs to be done that I made to present to our club, You can send me a PM and we can talk about it and I could send you the information.

What ever you want to use, a good practice is to isolate the power unit. Don't leave it on a seat cushion or on top of the engine. A small steel pail like a paint can with some sand in it is a good place to put the unit while in use and out in the open away from fuel sources.These are...

Re: Help please I don’t know where to look I do believe I have what you want, please send me a PM.

If you wanted to see if a speedometer of unknown condition works , and you wanted to drive it with a cordless drill motor what direction should the cable (motor) spin?. I realize you're not testing accuracy just seeing if it may have promise of being good.

I have one more tip for storage after running the carburetor dry - shut off valves are prone to leak, so what I do is put on a pair of throw away rubber gloves, I then disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor and loosen it at the firewall glass bowl or cast sediment bowl, now rotate the line...

As suggested, don't go thru the work twice, get cast iron brake drums and as much or as little as you want in regards to backing plate rebuilding. Randy Gross will give you a great product and then you will have a safe Model A that you can drive and not fear brake fade and the possibility of...

I installed some rebuilt tubular shock links on the front of my sedan, original shock arms and link tubes. These do not stand plumb, used new rubber and grease covers. Rotating rubber and steel grease covers did not help. Wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Wondering as well if perhaps...

One more thing, I replied in the comments I thought look for electrical (it could be loose connection at terminal block, condenser, bad ignition wire etc , etc.) but the reason I said that was you claimed it would run 4- 10 seconds and die.My response was if the bowl is full of fuel tt would...

i think you should look for an electrical problem, if the bowl of the carb was full it would run longer than you say.

Both of mine fit snug, when you pull one out it has some resistance. I thing the outside diameter is bigger than the hole and it gets compressed going in and out but when finally in place it is somewhat looser because only the very top 1/4" or so is under compression. I have a box of originals...

yes he is, do a search and his contact info will come up

I f I understand right, once you ground the pin down you cannot see where to place the punch and hit the pin. If that is the problem, take a torch (small propane used for soldering plumbing) or another will work fine. Heat the area where you think the pin - is get it hot then drip a little...

You have pretty much answered the question. One of you has the original set up condenser within the distributor body and the other person has a modern plate. Both of adjusted properly will let the car run just fine.

I came into a couple of small steam whistles and don't have steam power. Although steam is more dense than compressed air would anyone have an idea as to what compressed air psi might approximate what a typical steam system that has a whistle with it. I'd like to test the whistles and find out...

All previous methods can work, you may also take a small torch and heat the brass bushings on the inside by letting the flame lick all around the interior. You will get smoke and stink in the air- Let it cool all the way down to room temp, then heat it one more time , let it cool. This will help...

take the photo differently, if the drum were to be mounted to the car, take a photo of the edge in the vertical plane. One photo straight at the edge, one photo slightly angled to right one phot to the left so we can see the curve of the edge.

Stamped steel drums have a profile on the lip edge that very identifiable., cast iron drums when struck with a hammer have a dull sound compared to a ring sound of a steel one. Taking a welding grinder to the back surface and observing the spark- to a welder or person who know metal working...
