The physical location of the wire on the distributor makes no difference. Unless there is a wire length issue. The only thing important is the firing order of 1-2-4-3.

Ruckell shift lever.jpg Another was designed for the TT truck. The rod is on the driver side and goes straight back to the shift lock. This is possible becaus...

Is that 1915 high F, or 1913-1914 hubcap?

Re: WTB Original front seat bottom upholstery
Bill,
Michael Francis from Classtique can make you an upholstery kit with material that appears as distressed leather. It will be brand new, yet look old. Perfect for a survivor. It is 1000 times more durable than 100 + year old upholstery.
Just a thought.

Re: What am I missing here - Kingston Y 4-ball
A bowl drain valve fits into the threaded hole near the gas inlet. The float pictured looks like the correct style, but check that the pivot point is in the right place. It might just be camera angle, but the bowl body looks more elongated than other Kingston 4 ball carburetors.

Re: A look at original late 1911/early 1912 front doors
Outstanding work on those rough fore-doors!
The original dash was drilled for the brackets.
If you choose to not have the fore-doors attached, I sincerely hope that you did not add a fourth door sill on the driver's side!
They look awesome!

James,
Painting with a broad brush, yes, 1913 is correct. That being said, there are always some examples of carry over with some brass hardware, lamps, etc. especially if the car was assembled at a branch location.

There are two types of Model T drivers:
1) Those who have broken a crankshaft.
2) Those who will brake a crankshaft.

Re: What have you done to your Model T in September?
John-
Broken cranks are a mystery. I think the #1 reason is a bent pan that contributes to metal fatigue. When I put this engine together the short block was done. I straightened the pan, put the transmission on and have had nearly 30 years of trouble free touring.

Steve- Thanks for sharing. That fore-door appears to be Beaudette. The nailed-on trim tells me it was made sometime before body B-22927. Later Beaudette bodies had a rolled-in bead. The hole in the top left is likely where a carriage bolt was used to attach a bracket. The hole on the right is where ...
