Gotta love it Dallas.
We got the major salt dumpage !!

Looks like old No.28 will be running a little late on it’s delivery !!

Yeah Rich, there’s no such thing as reruns anymore....unless you are watching the news !!

About 3” on the ground here, most didn’t stick to the roads and driveway.....temps are dropping throughout the day and a strong possibility of Lake Erie making it’s way down here !!

14 degrees for the wind chill.

A friggin winter wonderland now.

Went for a very short ride today, since the sun was out and this might be it before the salt flies... Just 2 houses down I hear a pretty loud “click click click” with a rotational steadiness. About positive it’s coming from the rear axle. I guess this winter will be my “Ruckstell 101 class” !! :( Fo...

The roads of the teens and twenties, I imagine you probably came familiar with maneuvers like this.
“Hold on to your bonnet Ethel”!!

Must take a lot of quarters....

Snowing and raining here, but I did start it for a group of fellows from Germany visiting another friend. Younger guys, 30-40?, they were mesmerized ! :D I highly doubt they have ever seen a T, wish I had taken a picture of their faces. I wish it wasn’t so crappy outside also, they would have been t...

I run a similar engine (less the cam), and 3:1 gears with a Ruckstel. I have no problems with my 24 touring pulling most hills around here in direct. I think (especially after the new engine),
You will be happy with the 3.25:1.
My opinion and about a dollar will get you a cup of coffee.

Yep, sure looks like a 2 piece (well, maybe 3 or 4 pieces) valve to me.
I would consider replacing ALL the valves if they have the holes in the top like that one.

Operating condition, threads clean and turns freely. 28” fully open.

Boy howdy, where’s a guy find such things Tim ?

Speedo has found a new home...
Thanks MTFCA !!

I bet it was Steve’s evil twin.... and he was driving a Chevy !!

I have some Bob, you need 3 narrow ?

Might get a little excitement during fly season !!

I have the infamous movement at the gear to column fit. This is one of my winter projects with any luck.

I just noticed this moron responded to half a page of WTB ads...

I have a few sets left.

$55 shipped

$25 shipped

$165 shipped or eBay it is.

Unfortunately these guys won’t fit in a small flat rate box...$15 shipping and $10 each. $25 total.
I can fit 2-3 in a medium box. FWIW.

I think Jayson and his pal Smith should post some pictures of all the goodies they have....

Here in NE Ohio, we have some great soil for maters and especially sweet corn :mrgreen: We have had some nice ones here in the past, but haven’t planted a garden in about 5 years. I have a few pictures on my computer but not my iPhone. 12’ tomato plants were the norm... It is nice to walk outside an...

Friend Bill stopped by yesterday....got rained on driving home

He’s feeling pretty happy with about 500 miles on his Joe Bell rebuild, breaking in nicely

I was chasing a drivability issue this summer, turned out the float level was low.
I took out an early NOS set of Xs and tried a older new set of Autolite 3095s. No problem with them, but I think I will put the Champions back in next spring.

Any gasoline approved 10W-30 is fine.

You’re in the classifieds for what ever reason.

You can find new repo Campion X or the replacement, (forget the number) on Rockauto pretty reasonably.

Lots of shine being made out there still. I’ve had some pretty good stuff with peaches or other fruits in it. Also what’s called “Apple Pie”, take frozen apple juice and render it down some with cinnamon sticks and mix it in the moonshine and yummy !! Several legal distilleries making also. I stay a...

Tom Hicks, your new sedan should give you year round T driving in VA now !!

It’s frustrating sometimes going to the scrap yard, people throw away the stuff that I could never part with

Not to mention the price of steel really sucks right now...$70 gross ton. About 3 years ago it was $220 !!

Old IH Low Boy and some sort of homemade car at a tow yard.

If you want to short anyone, maybe the battery manufacturers are the ones to invest in....
After battery life is exhausted, new ones can cost as much as the car !

I can buy a lot of 6Vs for that.

I’ll keep my still going to fuel my T when gas is unobtainable

Nice sunny October day in NE Ohio

Got a nice little putt in and saw some fall foliage. Still some color but not as much as some years.

Older manufactured plate brackets, well made and heavy duty. Make a good mount for the front plate or a speedster project, or a trailer etc...
$27.50 each, shipping included USA

Nice light patina...$215 shipped

$260 shipped ??

Looks like a beautiful car Tom, very nice looking interior.
Good luck with the road readiness

Les, I have a box full of leathers and washers AND the dies to make them all, including the spring washers...
I used to sit and make them as a boy, I forget, $0.25 per 100 ? Then the old man sold them to Snyder’s.
If you’re interested, send me an email, Dave

I was under the impression that duct tape was only rated for 200mph...

Thanks Rich, just what I was looking for.

John, sending you an email

I found this yesterday, I assume it’s the manifold that is used for a heater.
Any info about it or maybe a picture with the shrouding ?
Looks like it was screwed on. The threads are iffy and I need to put a straight edge to the ports yet.

I remember reading an article on the AC Cobra 427...I claimed 0-100 AND back to zero in less than 14 seconds !!! “It stops so fast, you’ll lose your chewing gum”

There was a set of caps with zerk fittings on the classifieds a while back. I want to say $125...

Jim, it was in my dad’s stuff.
I think if you hooked it to your mag it would maybe be more useful than you think.
You could also use 12V. The ammeter should help at least adjust the points close.
I run a distributor so no expert on coils.

I still say that “C” looks like it was stamped over a “5”...

Wouldn’t modern brake spring pliers work ?
Available at most any parts store.

The casting date 11-19 should be a 1920 year model, the engine number does not match and appears like the first digit is a C over top of a 5 ?
Possibly a replacement engine for yours or another car.
Correct block for a starter car...

Early style, unrestored working unit. Low mileage !

$225 shipped to you USA

Two wire wheel hubs, w/bearings, races a 5 lug nuts. Missing one inner bearing and race.
$300 for the pair shipping included USA.

I have several pairs. $30pr shipped to you USA.

Wife and I did 45 degrees and rain last year.
I have side curtains and it was comfortable with a light coat.
Too much salt on the road when the snow flies here, so hibernation for a few months.

Ok, I was informed that the gear half is junk.
The shaft and right half are very nice and I have another set missing one spider gear. Will get a picture today and redo this add.
Sorry, I know modern axles very good, but little experience with Ts....I’m learning.

Still several sets available....$65 shipped equals $50+shipping.

$55 shipped...
Contact via email please, on board contact info.

Can’t see the front clear enough, but it looks like a high radiator.
23-24 Center door ?

You have to put your cursor between the parentheses

And then type...from my iPhone.

Just sayin.....

I can come over. We can whack the back of that touring and put on a wood bed and Wa La, instant wood hauler!

I’m thinking the TT would do a little better...thanks anyway buddy !!

The Dodge will have to do for now, probably had 1500lbs on it, judging by the squat.

Henry,
Not sure why they wouldn’t show the stroke spec.... but it’s 4”

My dad had one years ago with most of the hooks full, not sure what he sold it for.
I’d be happy with one original 55 !!

Dallas, it was a nice day, too bad I was cutting wood all day. Could’ve used your TT !!

Maybe tomorrow I can get mine out.

Scroll down, there’s about everything here...
From Mac’s, google search...

Yeah, I got one Charlie.
Give me a call
33zero three 9 one-9zero six 2

Bruce Compton is another one you can check with...

I agree with Mark, looks pretty normal to me.
The fluttering is not very much, as slow as a T idles...IMHO

Melina, that key SHOULD be brass, you might be able to clean it up without wearing it down too much with some CLR and maybe a little polishing compound.

All I was saying about repop keys was, maybe take a known working key to match up before you buy one. I have a couple repops that work fine...

Sounds like you may be a little lean. Try about 1/4 out on the mixture and slowly pull the throttle down after the shift.
Also don’t close the throttle as much...and close it when you’re in neutral, just for a split second before high.

Wood would have been better than the plastic fantastic !!

Outta carry a couple engines now !!

Pretty sure I got one Charlie.
Let me look tomorrow, you’re not that far away either.

Dave

Thanks Joe, I think you’re right, 2 different halves. I’ll look for a mate tomorrow.
Are you coming too ?

No T today, just a sign of the times

I haven’t had a chance to measure yet, but I see the shaft fits nicely in the ring gear half. The other half is way smaller where the shaft sits, like it needs machined to fit. Was there a smaller size shaft ? Also the shaft where the gears ride cleaned up with a Scotchbrite, I will measure it also....

Dave, it dawned on me just after I posted. I didn't know phones were also into corrupting our language. That little dash is important. To cooperate has nothing to do with coopers or barrel making! Allan [ex grade school teacher] from down under. Sorry Teach, I’ll do better next time... It’s also im...

When I was a boy, we were at a car event/tour and Pop was off somewhere. I was playing with the spark and throttle levers....when we left it was a short time before the old man said it wasn’t running right. Here the spark rod had came off at the distributor and it was still fully retarded. The exhau...

I think your conclusion about the hole being drilled off is the answer Scott.
Ignacio says it all worked before the band/pedal repairs...

Dave, what is a coworker? I've heard of cowhands and cowbells, but not coworkers.

Allan from down under.

A bloke that I worked next to, Allan.

Maybe it should be co-worker, but it came up on my phone.

Tim, those varmints just love the taste of wiring...never tried any, but it must be yummy !! Looks around and make sure nothing is chewed on. The salty winter will corrode copper wire in a hurry. We had a 300 towed into the dealer with a harness chewed up. My coworker was just realizing the wiring p...

George, I have a 55 ignition key and cylinder, the newer key’s slot is off compared to 2 older round head 55 keys I have.
There was another original Ford key around, but I haven’t found it. It also fit.

Is it the guy with the Boater, Frank ?

Just for the record, a friend gave me a repop key and the straight groove is not centered and it no worky. Won’t even go in.

It’s a diamond shaped key like pictured above.
I may try a dremel and widen the groove.

So what exactly is the equivalent of “Gargoyle Mobiloil C” ?

Nice chart Dan :D I’m in the last group, 3:1, I run Ruckstell generally up to about 25-30mph. The higher ratio makes it more necessary for Ruckstell, especially for braking, but I can climb most hills around here in Ford high/direct. But my engine is not stock. It takes some practice, but shifting i...

Ken, I will try to measure it today, a lot going on though so maybe tomorrow.
The shaft is pitted a little where it clamps in the case, where the gears ride is not...

I’ve never found anything that works well on aluminum to steel.

I fill mine till it starts to run back out.
