On the C head you may need to have head gaskets fabricated. Mike B will be your go to guy with knowledge.

Almost positive it's for a Fordson tractor.

Watching with much interest.

If these are the coils I'm thinking about, they are not good. They are blond in color, the secondary resistance is about 8000 ohms, versus 3000 for a Ford coil. The car i worked on had 4 of them. 2 worked, 1 was totally dead, 1 (buzzed) internally, nothing externally. Call Ron.

I'd forgotten that I signed it. Lots of familiar names, past and present. Way cool and fairly priced.

I'm wondering if the condenser is bad, masking as a coil. By the time you go get a coil, the condenser is cooled off, allowing the car to start.

Here are installation copies from about 20 years ago. I've installed 2 in my own cars, 1 about 3 months ago. If you have questions call Steve 701 212 5009

This is where I was told to install one by someone knowledgeable. Where the bolt is sitting. I used a 1/4" pipe thread cintered bronze vent.

I choose Noel's idea. I did like the walking stick handle with a Liberty dollar also, just not a T part.

I'd like to fabricate a shift handle from a Model T part. I need idea's!! I don't want something to big a clumsy. Lamp part, trans part, carb part, anything.

I had spoke to Geoff several times on the phone, and met Emma about 3 years ago at the New London New Brighton run. Geoff had bought a Ford AC? in Spearfish and needed transportation to England. I stored it until I loaded a container for England. Gods speed.

I also have a Warford in my speedster that I mounted much the same as Andy. I added radiator springs to the rear oil pan bolts, giving a place to flex. Also only used only the vertical bolts on the pan, left the horizontal bolts out.

This what I came up with. I'm sure some won't like it. Part of installing the trans requires cutting out 7" of the running board bracket. I had figured on reinforcing it anyway but noticed the bracket is directly in line with the drain plug. I fabricated this from 3/4"x 3/4" cold rolled. It ties tog...

Here's my theory. The firing order is wrong. The model T is 1243 as are most early 4 cylinder cars. This requires the front 2 cylinders and rear 2 cylinders to suck 1 right after another. The long manifold has more fuel stored in the manifold. A better firing order would be 1324.

I think it looks worn where the sleeve sits. Look at the lip at the back end between the pinion and sleeve.
Since he got the sleeve off in 1 piece tells me it's worn.

I have a Layne Warford in my speedster with a 3.23 rear gear. I almost always start in Warford low, engaged low pedal, accelerate, shift into T high. Then as traffic and road dictates, shift the Warford. You can shift without clutching, but I usually tap the clutch pedal. Hope this helps. Steve

I have this 12 tooth made by Ford that doesn't roll nice on either a 39, or 40 tooth ring gear. You can see it's smaller than a 11 tooth, weird. Then I thought maybe it's made for a 44 tooth ring gear, but the ratio is 3.66, so why do that. You can see it's cut like a 9 tooth. Any insight would be a...

YES. Thanks Tom. My favorite in this group is the 3rd picture, since I live in the middle of sugar beet country. Obviously hand defoliated, hand plucked from the ground, and loaded by hand.

Which 1 do you need?

Who wants to tell Karl what these fit?

Karl, I sent a email several days ago. I have some. Steve

Jane, Jim, Red, and the rest of the family so sorry for your loss, Steve

No clues here. Worn clutch lugs, worn u joint square.

Dan, I've had 3 or 4 of the drums you are referring. Each 1 had a older cover with slotted holes. I came to the conclusion that there wasn't a special cover. Maybe this is 1. Maybe tomorrow there will be an answer.

Machined all the way around. Maybe 26-27 and had to much fun in the lathe?

I don't know if this would work or not. Put in a TT cross shaft. Fab a spacer where it bolts to the frame, this would compensate for the difference in the height of the cam. In my mind it would lower the shaft between 1" and1 1/2".

Just chuck up a known good axle in the lathe and indicate the taper in.

11-12 Mother in law seat riser. 11-14 parts. Other non Ford parts, Henderson motor, 2 cylinder Maxwell parts. Open gear steering columns. Other eclectic early parts.
No pictures, just come look. Space CO27. Steve

I saw a car that had sat for years taken to a national tour. Day 1 one valve lost its head. Cylinder head was pulled and 1 valve replaced. Day 2 another valve lost its head, this time he replaced them all. I think miraculously neither time any major damage was done.

What kind of wood, and what type of glue is used on laminating bows? I need to do 1 bow on a non Ford car.

Volt meter says Readrite Meter Works Bluffton Ohio.
With the 22 1/2 highlighted makes me wonder if it's for checking Mag output?

Another truly amazing car and driver was Herb de la Port in a 1901 Locomobile steam car. The car required fuel and water every 20 miles, and traveled at 12 MPH. He was allowed to start early and finished the 120 miles at 6:15. Every time I passed him he had a smile on his face.

I think that guy owes me money. What's his name?

I feel a 23 is much more comfortable than a 26. I have both. If you're short it may not matter.

Another bump with new price

New Price $250

The last one I found went to the Flux Capacitor. Made time travel very fast!!

Thanks Dan. I wish I knew how to tell the difference.

For Sale parts pictured. No hubs.30x3 1/2 size. 3 loose rims are good, 1 has wobble. 3 loose centers have bad pitting. 2 centers have rear hubs welded in. Free delivery to Cadillac, or the brass event at the Gilmore. $100 for all. Steve 701 212 5009

I was at the first Celebration. Maybe 15 venders, no one with piles of parts, though mostly brass era, very little Model T. I do plan to attend this, it's right after the T tour in Cadillac.
I'd say go to see the brass cars, and all that the Gilmore has to offer. The swap is a bonus.

I'd first try flipping it. I'd also add, I used one of these on a long trip. I modified it to clamp on the outside, so not to scratch nice plated rims

What I do is use a 12 point 2" socket and push in a short piece of a cotter pin to release the lock.

For Sale 2 brackets $1800 Steve 701 212 5009

If someone can get it to Fargo (right on I 94) I can bring it the rest of the way. Steve 701 212 5009

I think it's for scraping hides.

For Sale, 2 running board brackets. $100 for both. Steve 701 212 5009

I forwarded this to Dan. I don't know if he'll message you or not.

I hope this is the picture you want. The bendix cover is not being used, but the pedal is correct for a starter motor.

Do you want 191 or 191B? I have both

These are pictures of new spokes from a supplier. 30x3 1/2, 5/8 tenon. The largest measurement of the tenon is .030" smaller than 5/8. The bevel where the spoke sits against the hub is tapered.

Wanted to buy. Tubular exhaust header for flathead T engine. Chickasha PU preferred. Steve 701 212 5009.

I so agree with what Jerry and Dean said. May your speedster fly up the hill.

Pictures of 2 different blocks with the hole I'm referring to.

Will, right next to the area you described is the spot where sometimes the bottom bolts that mount the mag ring are open to the inside. If you don't have a field coil that maybe your problem. Permanent fix is pull the motor and install a bolt. Quick fix is clean the hole from the outside and fill wi...

Email sent. Reply and I can send pictures

Anyone that wants to see one the Fargo building is still standing.

Anyone have any idea what this manifold was intended for when new. I don't believe Model A due to the port shape. I know what the carb is from, and dont know if that's a clue or not. My only guess is Iron Duke Chevrolet.

I need suggestions for a spark plug in this head. I think I asked Joe, and he said A25 champion? What say you

Noel, recently I had my 11 in my shop for maintenance, anyway when I went to start it the first 1 coil buzzed and the volume on the 1980's boom box in my shop went to wide open, something it's never done before. Another thing I've noticed is cows and horses reacting when driving by with a T running ...

I thread on the AACA sight, a member says he has a T starter that rotates the wrong way. That's a new one on me, anyone heard of this

He is 100% scammer. Maybe 2 months ago called me about parts I was looking for. Loosing storage,2 days to react, can't send pictures because his phone is a Hawaiin cell plan. On and on. Called me yesterday about a WOSP starter I was looking for. Called in the morning, I asked for pictures, dropped h...

Wanted, WOSP starter for a T. Someone must of ordered one they don't need. Please PM or call Steve 701 212 5009

Harvey, like this?

My only guess is it's there to access a grease zerk tapped into the hub.

This what Bob needs. Please help his worthy project.

I feel the wire wheels make a car look sportier, racier. Wood makes them look older. Torpedoes look good both ways. It's your car, do what makes you happy.

My 16 valve had a Fitzgerald head gasket when I took it apart. I don't remember the part number, and I'm sure I threw it away.

There was guy from Texas, not Texas T, who sold cams with 290 lift. It was undercut between lobes just as pictured. This was about 20 years ago. He set up at Chickasha between Bill Barth and Potter, McLaren.

So sad. I always enjoyed seeing him at Chickasha, and tapping into his knowledge of accessory wire wheels.

I'd would never have thought that would fit inside the hood of a brass car. The ultimate sleeper!!

Car is sold. Thanks

There is so much to consider if you do this. If you machine the A cam to fit the bores thrust control must be addressed. Also the front of the cam should have a T nose. Also I feel you should use A tappits, otherwise the duration will change, but lift will increase over a T. The inside of the block ...
