Re: Orphans and stragglers for sale L@@K !

What is the significant of "L@@K." I see this on ebay from time to time, but not too much anymore.

Re: 6 volt battery dilemma

Let's face facts, the model T third-brush generator is the primary killer of the 6 volt lead acid battery in the T due to overcharging. When the engine is running the generator is outputting current to the battery whether it needs charging or not. I (and others) run our generators (that still have a...

Re: McLaren Wires and Universal T Drivers --- Years of Tire Trouble

Scottio, Just for the record, the Ford 21 inch wood spoke split rim and the wire wheels (first appearing in 1925) were not clincher style tires. These 21 inch tires, called "balloon tires" back then had a max PSI of 35. I run 30-32 PSI on my 27 Tudor. These are the same tires used on the 1928/29 Mod...

Re: 1915 fan bracket curve up or down?

Robert,

It seems that the Words "Rebuilt" or "Remanufactured" Have Different Connotation to some folk!!!

The below link to a Model T engine on ebay is advertised as being “rebuilt,” but by my standards (and many others) this is not clearly not a rebuilt short block. Whomever buys this engine with the understanding that it was “rebuilt” will be greatly disappointed. At best, this might fall into the cat...

Overhead Cylinder Head Repro

Some years ago a guy was reproducing an overhead valve head, does anyone know who this guy is? He also made a dual overhead cam model T head too that I saw running at the 100th anniversary in Indiana.

Re: '27 Radiator Apron

To locate the hole, buy some Persian blue from the auto parts store. Smear some on surface of 1/4-20 hole on the engine mount and then fit the upon. The Persian blue will transfer to the apron marking where the hole should be drilled.
