Very sad news. I was fortunate to get to know Jay and Barbara and tour with them years ago when we were members of the Dallas T club. My thoughts and prayers are with the family as well.

I wore my BB-39 hat to work today.

Before ordering anything from Macs spell it backwards.

Here in Denver it was 0 when I gotup at 5am yesterday and it snowed for about 24 hours. Driving to work was fun as all the roads were covered with iceand snow and you could not see the lanes. Today we warmed up -10 at 5am. The main roads and highways are clear today but the side streets are a slick ...

The 13 and 14 had flat rear fenders. The 15 had curved rear fenders.

I have these traffic light finders on all of T's. They work great!

Can you feel/see the bulb depressing the contactsin the thimble when you turn the bulb? As stated by Norman above I have had to build up the solder contacts to get a good electrical connection. With the power on and the thimble exposed attach a test wire to the neg side of the battery and touch the ...

Check that the thimble the bulb mounts in for a good ground. I usually solder a wire to the thimble and connect to a direct ground.

Ron,

The new Warfords are made by Layne Machine Works in Kansas city MO. Their phone number is 816-231-3268. I am under the impression that there are a couple of ratios available. I could be wrong. Call them and ask.

A web search turned up a 6 volt negative ground electronic flasher with 25 amp rated contacts.

Harold,

The Denver area has a fairly active T Club and plenty of guys that are great assets. I am attaching the web site for the club. My e mail is paulmikeska AT yahoo.com. Hope you join and enjoy the fellowship of the T community.

If the throttle was closed when you did the test you will get low readings. The throttle and choke need to be wide open while doing the test.

It looks like a Master Vibrater

My day job keeps me very busy this time of year. I am looking forward to the Chickasha mini vacation!

A new tank is about $170.00. About twice the cost of coating the tank that will fail some time down the line. If it was mine I would just buy a new tank. YMMV.

A few years ago I drove up Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park in my 14 Touring with a few other crazy folkss. All of the cars had ruckstell rear ends except one. It was a 26 or 27 Touring and was loaded with 4 full sized adults. It also had Dan's needle bearings in the tripple gears. T...

Time Magazine is only good for lining the bottom of a bird cage.

Since Ford offered un-numbered blocks for engine replacement even a matching numbered motor may not be the original motor.

I an so sad to here this. I agree with Trent Boggess. "We are diminished." I was lucky enough to have known Fred for many years, gone on tours he attended and/or organized and visited with him in his shop many times. My condolences to his family.

Well...I rebuilt a rear end on a T that I was restoring with all new parts including ring and pinion gears. It was many years later when the car was finished. I took it for its first drive without realizing that I had never added oil to the rear end. Dumb and costly!

There should be a number stamped on the face of the tumbler. That number is the number of the key you need. Or you could try this. https://www.modeltford.com/item/5013-MSTR.aspx

It was 12 degrees here in Denver when I got up at 5am today.
