Check out line2line coatings, recommended to me by total seal rings. Used a lot in racing.

Its wonderful to hear your expression of gratitude. Hope you get to enjoy many years together. So many things in life are taken for granted until we don't have them .

Is the rear seal on the v8 block the same as the model a? I see the same style drain tube.

Try some of " the right stuff" by permatex on the threads.

One very important factor is crankcase pressure from blow by past the rings , this is certainly more important than what is going on in the bell housing.

All modern cars lights blind me if i look straight at them, its because they are brighter. You really dont need to be a mechanical engineer to own a model a. Try them out, if you see better they are good. I will try them and I dont drive at night in my car hardly any.

I feel i wasted a lot of time messing with the rears. I would just do the fronts if i were to do it again.

If the fuel has up to 10% ethanol like here in nj, I would think that would be a reason to have to run the GAV richer (or more open). I am always kind of amazed that gasoline today will still run a vehicle designed ninety years ago.

Great to hear from you! Hope your recovery goes well.

I had my oil return pipe come loose right when i first got my coupe. I was lucky it was only a couple blocks from my return to my home, trail of oil out the drive and down the street. Previous owner mechanic was afraid to tighten bolts i think. Ive checked several times and they havent come...

I had to grind mine to clear the fan same as you . Castings seem to be machined off center.

I could be wrong but I thought original ford discs had solid hubs with no cushion springs. I dont think that a person should have to break in the clutch but if the surfaces are too rough it might be a solution. Bills method accelerates the process. The combination of a disc grabbing and...

I think Bill is on to something here. I have also had the experience of a new disc and pressure plate needing some wear to work smoothly. It was mentioned that the flywheel had grinding marks. When a good working clutch is taken apart the surfaces will be polished smooth. Chattering is caused...

I have an old Automobile Trade Journal from 1933. It has lots of old ads for auto parts, tools etc. This is one I thought some might find interesting.

Very sad to here this. I remember he was upset when he was trying to sell his car. I really dont think anyone meant to disrepect him. Seemed frustrated when he left , may he rest in peace.

On my 30 coupe I noticed hot air coming into the cab from under the fuel tank at the ends. I found it was coming in at the lower body corners just below the floor and up behind the kick panels . I sealed it up in an effective but not period correct way with insulating foam. It is much cooler...

My coupe has lap belts and I wish it had shoulder belts too. I dont trust those door latches at all. It is easy to feel confident when you have the wheel to hang on to but a passenger is just going to be at gods mercy if that door flies open unexpectedly. Of course a head on collision is...

I have been thinking the most important tools i need to work on my model a are my carbide burrs. Seems every part i buy has some issue that requires cutting or finishing. Most recently put on a new water pump, casting was off center and fan wouldnt turn till i ground it down. This was after i...

I agree this could easily be fixed before shipment. Somewhere along the process a decision was made to simply let it go. Let the customer figure it out. There is really no excuse . This is not good business and insults the customer. No amount of good customer service can compensate for lack of...
