Model B has a wider gap. Don't worry about the ticking, its the one's that don't make a noise you should worry about.......

"How about the starter, many leave it wired for 6 volts, others have it rewired for 12 volts." I did this to my car (left it 6v) and pulled the ring gear off a few times, want to go through all that work to repair that??

A hole saw will work, if you get the 9/16" size, it will go over the 1/2" stud and guide you down to the swedging perfectly. Be sure to use some cutting oil. A large drill press is handy, but can be done with a hand drill using a slow speed

A few truck driving friends of mine had an Enhanced Drivers License issued by the Province of Ontario, and they couldn't wait for them to expire... said they were a PIA

I have one in my June 1, 28 Roadster that I feel is original. The car is Canadian made and came from Alberta in the early 90's. Body w243 and engine CA15266... I think I also have a spare....

Happy Birthday Tom, from all your Canadian friends.....

I have the same one in my June 28 Roadster....(Canadian car..)

Aftermarket,would be my choice.....

Mike, thanks for that picture, it makes it all look so simple....

Yes, the only door locks with a key, are on the riders (passengers) side of the car. It would help if we knew the year and model of the Model A you are referring to.....

Check the distributor shafts for wear....

Not to be nitpicking, but in the interest of safety, it appears to me the left front wheel is of the earlier A type. Does the edge of the wheel touch the brake drum, or is there a gap? If there is a gap, that wheel would be unsafe to drive with on that car. Hope you take this the right way, its...

Those springs shown above go in the arms, (legs) that go out to each side of the car. They are located in the end of the "ball" that gets placed in the "clamshell" openings on both sides. There are no springs on the "dogbone", that I have ever seen. I have seen a few "fixes" where after the...

Mr Highlander.... according to the Touring Class Judging Standards, as issued by The Model A Restorers Club, (ever heard of them?) I would loose 10 points for a car with a smaller diameter wire wheel on it. How much do you loose for a "chopped top?" Please check #1 and #7 of the entry...

No, as far as I know, all Model A's had 4 wheel brakes

"The only disappointment for me was when I saw the chopped coupe with a chevy engine was allowed to go in with the original A's." Quote by Jim The fact that this was a Model A event dedicated to ORIGINAL cars, and that we were allowed on the grounds with our cars, I felt the Hot Rod belonged in...

The linings you have could be off a Model B. They went from an 11" brake drum to a 12" drum. These are diameter readings, so you can do the math.....

I'm not sure that it is the higher compression head that is all the problem. Most head gaskets do not have the meat between the cylinders as an original bore block would use. Most gaskets seem to be for a 60 over and + bore, which really thins out the gasket between the cylinders, and may add to...

My grandson and I loved the new Ford Museum, there was so much there as well as a small history lesson for him that included Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and Harvey Firestone. It was hard to explain that it was a Model A Museum, that there was other cars inside as well. It was a wonderful...

Try a leather store such as Tandy's, or any motorcycle leather shop....
