Decided to sell my 1931 Ford Model-A to a owner that will appreciate and drive her. My father bought when I was a youngster and we worked on it together. This is a car that was bought to teach me about cars and to drive and have fun with. This is not a trailer queen. I have taken her camping...

:confused::confused: Can you post 'staged' pictures? I have the EXACT same problem as your original pictures and no idea how to fix it... wife's door popped open as I was driving down the street!! Luckily she (and no one else) was in the car, other than me!... Body lines are perfect, tops of...

Thanks everyone!

Yeah, they are $120 and black - seem nice. Brent, why don't you use it on Model A firewalls in particular? Do you have another recommendation? PS - Is this stuff removable if I wanted to go back to "stock"?

Could you post a pic of what the Peel and Seal looks like installed on the firewall? I'd like to see if it's black or silver. If silver, what did you do on the inside of the car where it was visible to cover it? Thanks for the idea! I'm excited to go get some to seal up the firewall and quite...

Donald, did you get your's straightened out? I'm dealing with the same currently. Thanks!

My indented firewall '31 is still using the 'ol carb side sediment filter/bowl with this carb. Thats why I got confused earlier. I guess my timing is still off or the jets are a little clogged because I still seem to be overheating. Humm...

Thanks! I was looking for this info. Any good sites or simple steps to follow to do this test on mine? I'm kindda new at engine work. What would be good indicators of needing to do this test/indicators of low compression? Thanks!

Haha, I was looking at the picture backwards! Yup, mines the same! Thanks. She doesn't seem to like .5 a turn... I'm running at about 1.5 turns now, down from 3.5.

Steve, what is the red item in the lower right of your pic? I have just a hole there that seems to be solid (doesn't lead anywhere). Is it important?

Steve! This information had been very helpful! Thanks. I thought I was the only one running one of these carbs with all the :eek: weird looks I get :confused: when I ask about it! Thanks again.

Thanks guys, I'll give these settings a shot. I found incorrect settings on another site and I'm hoping this is what is causing my overheating. The site said 3.5 out on the GAV. Will running this rich cause overheating? Mine over heats idling in the drive for longer than 10 mins now. I'm...

What settings do you guys use for all the settings on this carb? :confused: I'm trying to set everything correct, but my car is running really hot with all the 'original' carb settings. What are the float settings, idle settings and GAV setting? THANKS!!!!
