I think you would be better to cut a new key way. however As long as it was in the taper I couldn’t see it affecting it too bad if you didn’t let it cool too fast. I have seen welded up cranks where the flywheel bolts on and I have had a machine shop weld up the end of an axle and cut new splines on...

Most interesting thing I’ve heard about all week

Paradise Garage

I got a fan of a chev 1/2 ton from a junkyard and it only lasted a few days before blowing apart. The truck I got the fan off had no front clip on it and I believe the sun rotted the plastic away. It had only sat with no front clip for about a year. I don’t see any plastic fan lasting any amount of ...

That’s about right

This music video was shot at my garage not much has changed since. Not model t related but anyone familiar with the area or the fellow I bought my shop from might think it’s neat

Try adding these again

Got this in a barrel of model t parts

Is the connecting rod dipstick there to check the level of the Babbitt?

Paradise Garage

I looked through a few tobacco cans full of taps I got at an auction and there was none. Is this a real thread? Can u buy a bolt to fit it? What would it be used for?

You guys should move to Florida. It always runs fast here.

Is it because of all the oranges you have?

Paradise Garage

It’s fast here in Nova Scotia. Atleast right now

That is a fantastic movie love when he does that Shelby stomp

That’s about right

...all the proceedures mentioned require a charged battery, good wiring and working coils to be able to set the timing.The day that we visited his garage, the spark and throttle linkages were still missing from the car along with some of the wiring and other bits that need to be on the engine befor...

I am a little sad that AI didn’t answer me lol

Paradise Garage

Hi Jeff I plan on being there this weekend. I have 4 known good coils as well. I have a new battery and some other things but have yet to wire it all up. I have been having some issues with the county fire inspector at so that’s been taking up my play time with the model t and my funds to fix it. Lo...

Paradise Garage

Don’t you want to see what happens if you talk to it? Just a little bit?

Paradise Garage

Where does the Ai come from and why? Who is gaining anything by making this? Are japs spying on us trying to learn everything they can about model t’s? I don’t get it. It’s not trying to sell anything it’s just trying to pretend it’s one of us

Paradise Garage

Do u think it can write back?

Paradise Garage

If needed, adjust the ignition timing by slightly rotating the distributor (if applicable) to align the marks correctly. Retighten the distributor, recheck the timing, and turn off the engine. Refer to your car's manual for specific instructions. If unsure, seek help from a mechanic or experienced ...

Paradise Garage

Thanks I got it all geared up. I cleaned up the cap the best I could it doesn’t look too awful where the brush tracks so hopefully it will work good enough. My radiator should be back this week so I am looking foreword to taking it for its first drive in 70+ years

Paradise Garage

I miss the good old days when at least the spam made sense.

Paradise Garage

Pic of timer. Yes using a ford timer just replacing it to a brush cause that’s what I had

Paradise Garage

Hi thanks there is no pin there anymore and no old roller. Seems to have the right cap by looking at it. Ill find a roll pin tomorrow hopefully I will have it running soon. Thanks again for the replies

Paradise Garage

Got my new timer brush today and taking a quick look at it my car does not appear to have any key way or slot to make the brush point a certain way. Am I missing something or do they just point wherever? Should I find tdc and point it to that?

Paradise Garage

Is there a close substitute for a water neck (thermostat housing) that is common to another vehicle that I could make work on my model t?

Paradise Garage

Yes. I do understand and I did apologize. I do find it disgusting to see a video of a model t getting raped like that. I didn’t expect to run into things like that here either. It would be comparable to promoting torturing of animals for fun on PETA,s website. This sort of video is bound to anger pe...

Paradise Garage

I did edit my post I do get worked up over this assholes video and I overspoke my piece I suppose. I apologize for that and I did delete it. However it is unfortunate people get offended easily here. I suppose I need to keep in mind many people seem to get hurt by words today even when the words are...

Hopefuly they don't illegalize gas cars by then.

It will be here before you know it. The government will have us owning nothing and being happy. Here they have already taxed fuel so much it’s unaffordable

This guy sucks

Anyone know of any songs about or that mention model t’s only one I know of is Dixie bee line by uncle Dave macon

Paradise Garage

Is there anywhere in Canada that sells these tires? The shipping and tarrifs and exchange on the doller make them pretty steep. Before I pulled the trigger on a set from over the boarder I was wondering if anybody knew of any in canada

Paradise Garage

Anybody have pictures of how the windshield attaches to the body? Looks like a piano hinge that bolts to the top of the cab and also looking for a picture of the adjustable bracket piece that tips out

Paradise Garage

This guy gives me the sh**s. people like him make me mad. People who aren’t bothered by him cannot understand the way that it makes me and others feel. I am not a violent person but i would be if we ever came face to face. Words can’t solve some things.

Paradise Garage

I have most of your list but I am not sure what is supposed to live under the timer cap and it seems like there is lots of different options for timer divices I am a licenced mechanic and have lots of experience on classic cars I have 10 vehicles on the road most of them are 50s and 60s gym and dodg...

I like home hardwares rust paint because it seems to stick and dry a lot faster than rust oleum. I painted a 56 Pontiac I had in high school with rust oleum and it peeled off over the winter kind I I did no prep work. My 58 chev I painted the same way with zero prep work with the home hardware rust ...

It came with a better rad that is at my friends shop getting a new spout put into it and I got a coil box and coils. One I get the pointer for the timer I hope it will run. Any tips on the timer setup?

Hope my little guy grows up to like it too

When I bought this car it was not together I just bolted the fenders on and they fit mint I am just going to put it together the best I can with what I have and drive it. Where I live in Nova Scotia parts and cars are slim pickins I paid 2300$ for what you see in this picture plus some fenders and a...

I run a garage I recently bought in paradise Nova Scotia called paradise garage when I bought it there was all kinds of model a and t parts that the owner took along with him after I bought the building. Most of these engines and cars had been inside for 50+ years and the roof leaked for 40 of those...

I wish I were better at not getting hateful at people like him. Deleting Facebook a few months ago helped a lot but some things sure do make my blood boil. This is a great resource and I will have lots of upcoming questions for everyone.

Paradise Garage

Sorry guess I got carried away. People like him are a bit of a sore spot. People work their whole lives to own something like that and then there are people like him.

A lot Heat in a switch usually means the switch is nfg if you are powering directly to the starter complete the last connection at the starter not the battery I blew the top off one in my 78 half ton arcing the main lead to the battery.

I don't like what he does to the cars, but I also don't think it's right that people wish illness and death on someone either. I would be happy to wish something worse upon this waste of space. The best I could wish him is a terrible illness. I would love to see a video of this asshole getting his ...

I hope he gets an awful disease and dies

So the body is what is changed? So there is no easy way to goon it up to fit?

I don’t know what video you are talking about but if I ever become terminally I’ll that whistling diesel piece of s*** is on my hit list.

The hood is an inch or so too short. If it sits on the radiator where it should it doesn’t touch the cowl I believe this is because I am trying to mash 1925 and 1926 parts together

For a 1925 or 6
