Re: Intense Engine Vibration — Even When Sitting Still!

It's a rod knock. I started to hear it and when I dropped the pan I could feel it on #2. I'll take some shims out and see what happens!

Intense Engine Vibration — Even When Sitting Still!

I've gotten my 1926 coupe to idle smoothly and start up without a hitch. It has new fuel, new plugs, rebuilt carb, etc. but any time I get the RPMs above probably 1500-1600 it sounds and feels like it's about to shake apart! This happens when driving and when it is just sitting in the driveway. I he...

Re: Trouble w/ Shuddering and No Power in High Gear

Great advice here! I pulled the whole intake/ exhaust manifold yesterday and found it absolutely full of carbon and there was unspent gas in the intake ports so it was running obscenely rich. I will rebuild the carb and adjust the float in hopes that that will help. I followed the directions in a bo...

Trouble w/ Shuddering and No Power in High Gear

This is my first Model T (I've had quite a few A's) so I appreciate your patience in advance. The car is fine in low gear but shudders when shifted into high for the first bit. It also feels completely gutless in high. The other day I was trying to take it up a small incline and even in low gear it ...

Why is the intake runner so darn long??

I'm new to T's (I have had a bunch of A's in the past) and don't understand why they make the intake runner so long. Even on aftermarket intakes (except for the Winfield) it seems excessive. I guess I could understand it if they were building a high revving engine but given the application it seems ...
