Re: By request, My '23 Gow Job build pics (speedster)
Chad, there are much earlier versions of the S U carburetor which would be closer to your aim of using pre 1935 parts. They work in the same way, but are constructed differently, with some brass components. The larger sizes are a little more difficult to come by. Based on the type of air cleaner on...

Thanks Hank, your one of the big parts in this also.

By request, My '23 Gow Job build pics (speedster)
I prefer to use the early term Gow Job, rather than speedster. To me, a Gow is a modified full body car where a speedster tends to have a smaller (or none) homemade body, and sometimes a single seat car. In another thread, some requested me to post pics. So here goes. Started about three years ago. ...

Re: Head Bolts
I too don't like the short thread engagement of the stock bolts. I wish someone would make exact looking thicker heads from the stock Ford on a longer bolt. I too have cleaned the threads (7/16" x 14 for those that don't know) and then measured the depth with the depth portion on a digital micromete...

Re: Model T Forums Dead
My apologies David. I did read into that wrong. It was kind of open ended the way it was written.
However, I feel my statements are valid for other people on this forum, I wasn't trying to pick on you exclusively...although it probably seems that way.

Amazing though you all want to see speedster stuff, and that a good friend of mine posts his speedster stuff and damn near gets shunned. It's still mostly model T and very ingenuitive....but it does have an A engine/trans. Mine is being setup to run an A trans, and has a complete A steering and fron...

Re: Specialty Motor Cams
For what it's worth, with my experience in engine building, the best thing to do first is ask the cam manufacture what they recommend. Have you called Specialty Motor Company? They are very helpful I have found recently myself. It's my understanding Bill is retired from the business. Second thing, f...

Re: Original Fronty head color
I do agree, The shop bill wasn't hard to swallow, about what I figured actually. Plus add in all the rest of the parts, It adds up real quick. I don't think alot of the people consider the total costs to do machine shop work. I didn't get the head cheap, but I think the price was definitely fair (ev...

Re: Original Fronty head color
@Susanne, To the best of what I have found the SR and SOHC / DOCH versions were the more red, reddish-orange. The R is still a single port head. All you need is the casting. The valves and guides are probably junk. You can use Big Block Chevy exhaust valves (1.88") at a +.100" length, they might hav...

Re: Hand brake lever issues.
These are not hard to replace and don't require anything special to do. I even replace the pawl lever while I am at it. If your total low buck on this, you said you had several, pull the rod from another one and just get the new rivet to attach it to the handle. To me that's the best cheapest soluti...

Re: Spindles with straight steering arms
Thanks gentleman. I do realize the grooved spindle is not what I would use personally. As mentioned in my ad, the arms are the real value here.
If someone just wants the arms, I will remove them. Just trying to clear out some parts that are around here.
