Yesterday and today I got the upper intake manifold off....that was less than fun.

Old fuel rail and injectors off, new dual feed rail about ready to install.

Exhaust studs swapped and loose fit of the turbo and down pipe.

........

Getting closer

Still available

Top of the list

1-500 pair sold

Single still available

Sold pending

I’m thinking his Amish neighbors are virus free !

I got the old stuff off yesterday...quite a pile it made.
Did a mock fit on the new. All the studs have to be swapped with shorter ones. I just realized the kit has new fuel pumps and the tank has to come out to swap them. Good thing I haven’t got the driveshaft or exhaust in place yet.

I filled the wife’s car yesterday for $1.63.
In Akron I saw online $1.42, but not worth the drive/risk.

Also make sure it is square to the block. You can kinda see underneath with a mirror...
Warm it up a little and then retighten them.

Propane works as a leak test without getting into the carb as easy.

One pair, a little rusty on the bottoms but restore-able. $30 plus shipping USA

One single, pretty decent (the pair below it is sold) $20 plus shipping USA
Email only please, thanks

$100 with shipping USA

Bumpity bump

I’ll throw in 4 original boxes !! $80 shipped USA

Back at it again....not much going on around here. I’m open, but no one is putting money in their cars. So got the wife’s Subaru in and did some needed repairs and a few more things I found while on the lift. :roll: My goal today is to get this conglomeration of a turbo/exhaust manifold off. Piece b...

!!!!!

I think the title of the OP is contagious :lol: The only difference between proper cam gear alignment and 180 off is a compression stroke or exhaust stroke. Makes no difference and 360 degrees of the crank puts it back either way. I don’t recall anything said about tappet wear, guide wear and valve ...

Some extras...

The new gear arrived (thanks Dennis!). I was not happy with the fit on the old driveshaft, it rocked a lot on the taper, so I scavenged another and cleaned it up. Much better fit ! :D The old gear was loose and wore the old shaft. Hey grandpa, what’s for supper ?? Looks kinda crunchy...had this toas...

I have probably over 100 Ohio tags in various year. This is the one on my car with the hysterical plate.

stay safe !!

Well I lucked out and found a place with a capacitor in stock, just a few minutes away ! Took the old one and they tested it and said it was good...turned out I went school with the owner too !!! :D Came home and looked again for a reset switch and not. Flipped the lever on the pressure switch a few...

Did some brake work on a van yesterday, impact sounded weak at first and after the 4th wheel... I hear no compressor. Look over to see the gauge at 60psi !! :x Finished up the van with hand tools and did a few checks on the compressor circuits, all 240V where it’s supposed to be. Pulled the cover of...

Spoken for, thanks Mark and MTFCA !!

Relined the rear shoes today, found some nice lining in the stash of dad’s. I suppose a dose of asbestos beats a dose of COVID-19...

Starting to remember where I saw things over there.....occasionally

Bill had a rivet tool so I took everything over there and zip zip !!

A T with a properly functioning radiator does not need a water pump. IMHO

Years back, before good aftermarket radiator production, I think they would help a semi-plugged radiator flow enough to get by, especially in parades.

Sent you an email Mark.
Thanks Dave

don't use too much pressure.

I haven't done this before.10 psi enough, or more?

No I would use 60-80psi. Just make sure the valves are closed and the engine can’t turn over.
A little air from the crankcase is normal, but virtually none should go past the valves.

I’m with Art....TDC on compression stroke, hold engine from turning and blow air into respective cylinders. Air should be escaping somewhere, crankcase, intake or exhaust. If not, I would be double checking valve timing.

It’s a Model T, it can’t be that bad.

Thanks Dallas.
I have another 13 tooth gear coming...
I gave the shifter to my buddy Mike to bore out the lower hole for a bushing at the shaft. Lots of slop there. Got the gobs of grease wiped out around the u-joint area.

I feel laughter is the best medicine...this one about cost me a keyboard !!

That’s what I remember...

I have a customer (modern car) that swears he had a ROJO speedster a few years back that would do 100 mph plus !! He sold it shortly after he got it because it scared him ! :shock: He claimed he road with the fellow he bought it from beforehand and he was scared then. The guy had it going way faster...

Say something if you don’t get a template Val.
I’ll go and measure mine and let you know if you need.
I believe my neighbor cut the glass, he might have a copy ?

The chauffeur looks like he’s about 13 !!

Been a long time since I took it apart, rough times this winter, but back at it ! ;) Took the u-joint off and slid the shaft out, cut the pinion sleeve off and ready for the modern bearings. Basically ready for the gear to finish up the driveshaft assembly. Time for some cleanup and see if I have so...

Nope, no luck on a gear Dallas...still waiting for Joe. Saw some 11 tooth at Marietta, but I got plenty of those.

Oh crap !!

The ones I got for my T from ledlight.com are
6V-24V A/C or D/C if I recall....
They also have lots of other choices and are not that expensive.

I started underneath a couple months ago and had to move it off the lift. Back on and been getting things accomplished. Complete new exhaust system, old one off. New clutch is necessary, so I did that first along with a seal leak at the shifter shaft...Thankfully the transmission was out, ended up h...

Maybe of interest to some of the muscle car guys. 93 Supra 3.0L I-6 twin turbo....320hp, 6spd manual RWD. Customer is having me upgrade the whole car basically to a single larger turbo and in the end it will be putting 600hp at the wheels !! :shock: Here’s a couple before pictures...Oh and after I g...

I enjoyed myself, lots of parts and good folks !!

Nearly full “worm” moon.... what could say spring more than worms ??

I love it !!

I’ll be there along with Medina Bill.
Don’t have a space but will have a few things in my truck.
Looking for a good 12 tooth pinion gear...

Here ya go Mario...
Measures 11-1/4” from the bend down and 14-1/4” from the hinge. 21-3/4” long. Is aluminum.
Send me an email if you like it.

The timer functions in a similar manner as a modern cam position sensor also...

And of course the T transmission is the forerunner of the automatic transmission.

Mario, I have a non-louvered hood, I believe it is aluminum. I’ll try and get a picture as soon as I can.
I would sell it...

Dave

The dog bone may be part of a motometer ?
I’d think a gas cap except for the hole in it....
Could have been drilled for a pump ?

Boy that’s a beauty !!

Looking good Dallas...come on sunshine !!

One step closer to getting my Ruckstell together.
Went to Kevin’s shop today and picked up a pinion spool assembly. And the weather is hopefully getting warmer.
A couple shots of the Prus establishment, not much he’s not able to do here !

She oughta be tearing up the streets in no time Dallas !!
Did she fire up yet today ?

Sure appears to be RHD to me ?

Still have the Ruckstell out of mine, but I did push the starter button the other day...
She spun right over.

Made me look Steve...hadn’t perused in a while.
All the years are covered since my last visit.
I was impressed to see over 100 speedsters

U-joint: yes, should slip out. Valves: appear to be 2 piece, recommended changing. Good news is it looks like all the cylinders were firing good. I think if I was this far into it, I would at least look at the crankshaft bearings, but a minor refresh may be all that’s necessary, along with the flywh...

A REALLY Happy valentines weekend

!!!!!!!

Rich if you mean the second truck in the same picture, I agree.
The second picture, I believe is a TT, sure looks like a T transmission and wishbone under there.

Ok. I got to figure out how to get the flywheel notch at the correct spot to take the starter off. Take the hogs head off and check out the repairs needed.

Did you take the drive/bendix off ??

It’s a lot easier to disassemble with the engine out...and it HAS to come out.

A little bit too much runout on this wheel...
