Model T in Greenfield Village

Are you permitted to drive your own T in Greenfield Village? Is that only during the once a year festival parade? Where do I find the details?

Wondering about this rather large oval hole in my ‘25 Coupe firewall passenger side. Is it for a speedometer cable? Maybe it lets heat in? It’s not for carb adjusting rod, that fits elsewhere.

Re: Differential Ring Gear Install

It is a different one as the teeth on the original were/are not optimal. I bought a used ring gear and it really seemed to be in good order. Now I’m thinking it must have been distorted even though the teeth were good.

I tried pressing the ring gear on and it seemed to be taking too much force… well, it broke. This is after leaving the diff half it bolts to in the freezer for a couple days and after oiling the interface. Is it suppose to be this tight?

Re: Rear Radius Rod is opening

I’m replacing the rods on the ‘25 I bought because someone ran it with nuts loose and not only wore off threads but wore away half the metal. The rods I purchased online have good threads but of course they are easy to observe the seam opening.

I’ve heard that a Voltage Regulator (cutout look alike) is smarter than the original generator cutouts. How is the generator third brush adjusted when a VR is used…or does it even matter?
