Re: Sandblasting Equipment
I would recommend a pressure fed blast cabinet. You will use much less air and a much better and faster result. You will only have one hose with a nozzle on it that makes it easier to handle and get into tight areas than the most common siphon type cabinets.

Re: Rebuild engine and transmission
John, When your Father posted on the form I listened to what he said! He sure seemed to know the correct and best way to rebuild a T and had the experience to back it up. He surely is missed!

Re: Kingston 5 Ball for 1909
I have ran a Five Ball for over twenty years on my 1910 and 1911 and have worked well for me. Rebuilt them with a Brass float and new needle and seat.

Re: Color for my 1910 Touring
I didn't realize Darel that your car was March 8th as one of my 1910s was March 10th that was very close for that time period.

Looking for input on what is being used for the cleaning solution for carburetors in an ultrasonic cleaner? Brass, Iron or Aluminum carbs.

Multiple coils
I find it interesting that Henry used multiple coils (one for each cyl) on the T and how the manufacturers are using multiple coils today. Not having to have the Hi tension path threw moving parts as a rotor and cap. I also hope that most people on the forum understand how simple a coil is and how i...

Re: Old Photo-Spooner WI
Drove threw Spooner yesterday and still a nice little town. A lot of ice fishing and snow mobiling this time of the year going on. Much busier in the summer with all the lake activities.
