Atwater/Kent replacement rotor and cap

I have an Atwater/Kent front plate with a type RA distributor head. I am thinking about using this on my 19 roadster project, but before I do would like to know if there is a source of replacement rotors and caps for the Atwater/Kent units. My parts are in good shape, but would be nice to have spare...

Re: Model N 1906 in a Swiss museum

Mark, thanks for the promo for the early ford site. These pre T cars are a bit of a challenge, I have been working on my 08 SR for a few years now and it was a pretty complete car, it is just the little stuff that takes lots of time to track down. Amazing how many of these still survive hoping to fi...

Re: LOOKING FOR LANG'S STARTER SWITCH UNIT # 5014RE

do check the cable and all contact surfaces. Ask me how I know after pulling starter, switches, etc tracking everything multiple times over the years and it almost always was contacts that were just dirty. It doesn't take much on a 6v system with the high amp draw to heat things up.

Adding to previous comments. With a 6v system if everything on the cable to the starter is not squeeky clean, the voltage drop is significant. You can check the switch and they do get a little unreliable. But make sure the contacts are good. Offer still stands, you can have the switch for the cost o...

Scott, had never thought about that. It seems more often than not, timer issues cause problems, guess that was why there were so many after market solutions, and why Ford tried so many variables.

as an additional heads up, if you do get it to fire, I sure would not run it very long after 50 years of sitting. Shut it down, pull the head and look at the cylinders and also the inspection pan and look at the crank and rod bearings. At least clean them up and lube them before running too long, yo...

Look at what Scott just said. and check the rest of the timer wire connections, to make sure they clear everything. You might also want to check the timer to make sure it doesn't have an internal short on one of the contacts. It seems like this is a timer issue since even a real tired T engine will ...

could have been running a non-T ignition/timing that required the spark advance control rod to be positioned such that the end of the bracket interfered with the advance? Just a guess.

For what it is worth, I have a 1908 model S with number D303 which according to Carl Pate's early ford research, makes it built in Canada. Don't know if this means the jugs were cast there. Les probably knows about that.
