Thanks for your help guys! I think I made my question more complicated than it is, so allow me to try again. I'm planning to install the touring motor with a 39 Ford ****** in my 29 roadster. My question or decision I'm struggling with is which flywheel to use? I have 3 options available in my...

Have any of you guys run a stock Model B flywheel (53lb) on a stock Model A crankshaft? I bought a mild touring motor to put in my 29 roadster. The engine came with a lightened flywheel (44lb) and v8 pressure plate, but from what research I've done here, I'm not sure I want to go that light. I'm...

I know this has been asked before, but I want to try again. Does anyone have a copy of Lebaron Bonney instructions for installing the convertible top on a 28/29 roadster? I'd be glad to pay for the trouble to copy and mail or for the time to scan and email them. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks guys!!!

Thanks HDowse, I like the idea of less $ and less work!

I have a 1930 coupe running chassis only and I plan to make it a pickup truck. I know the coupe has an 8-leaf rear spring and the pickup should have a 10-leaf rear spring. My question is: can I just add 2 leaves to the coupe spring, or do I need a 10-leaf spring unit that's designed for a...

I need to know if the cowl, windshield, and doors are interchangeable on the 30/31 closed cab pickup and the 30/31 tudor? Thanks for the help!

I really appreciate everyone's input!!!

Unfortunately we don't have any Model A clubs in Birmingham Al. I have a couple of friends here with lots of Model A experience and I've been discussing it with them as well.

About 1/2 down, 20 to 25 degrees advanced

I time the engine with a timing light and when lever is at the top it is TDC, 1/2 down is 20 degrees advanced. I'm running a stock model A head. It has a new crank gear and timing gear. Is the fact that by retarding timing it reduces the knock indicate an issue with a rod rather than a main...

I adjusted the main and rod bearing clearances last summer on my 29 roadster and she has run great for about 1300 miles. During the past 3 outings I've starting noticing a slight but consistent knock while cruising between 35 to 45 mph. It's only on level roads, not during deceleration or...

I'm in the process of restoring the convertible top on my 29 roadster and the #2 #3 bow is in good condition but the front bow has rotted beyond repair. I'm planning to make a new front bow but need help with 2 questions, 1) what type wood was used? 2) was the front bow curved at all? My old bow...

You are correct, my bad on the typo. Thanks

I've been a member of this forum for a while now but I've never posted. I've learned a lot from you guys, so I'd first like to say THANKS! This may be more complicated than I'm thinking but I'd like to change my 7 tooth steering to a 2 tooth in my 29 roadster. I have a really nice 30/31 2...
