Dad and Mom the Uber ride is here, should I have ordered one with a heater?

FDR was told that he would lose political support from his base located along the California coast if he did not intern the Japanese Americans under the lie that they would not be loyal citizens of the US. But It was just a plan to allow the competitors of the Japanese business to steal their assets.

Hi, I have a firewall as shown. I would like to trade for TT radius rods.

keen25

It can still be used as a display item, reduce the price with this in mind.

keen25

I moved the filter to the end that goes into the carb, tested the flow and there is no noticeable reduction. Now that the cooler weather is here ( NJ). I will try it on my T. First a test on the fire risk after checking the rated temp. Then next a temperature decomposition test to try and mitigate c...

Why is it that the cars from 2000 on have the same style of ignition the Model T has?

keen25

I thought about that, as I have some I got for a sale but only to stop the foam from being sucked into the carb. A fine mesh cut into a circle fitting the carb opening might work. If the foam is moved down into the end close to the carb and holes are drilled just above the location of the foam's end...

I found a free Air filter for my model T, they claim it improves fuel economy by 150 % when I got this tune-up kit from Amazon. Is this too good to be true? But seriously, would this work? Maybe add a drop of oil or a retaining screen?

keen25

Hi, can you check and see if there is a BUDD stamp on the inside face? thank you Erick

keen25

Does this look like the one?

keen25

I saw that and yes I thought a bit about the Model T.

keen25

DO NOT skip the Rehab, he may have been joking, but that is a very important step to recovery. After looking at the crash pictures, I think Steve is very lucky or the T is not as much a death trap as they say. I greatly admire Steve's determination (or he may be nuts) to drive his T in today's world...

HI Steve, I have noticed sometimes a picture in a forum post is sideways and in the same post the others are fine. On my post as I view the photos they are showing the correct orientation. I am just happy if the photo is half decent and the file gets attached. I also added my 1925 roadster to the ph...

keen25

I would like to add a video and some "detail" area shots like the interior or engine compartment.

keen25

I have a 1925 TT I got in 1980, just the chassis and finished restoration in 1986.

keen25

Hi HenryFord2, can you take a picture a bit back and get the entire front of the radiator area in the shot? Also, the area around the radiator looking down over the fender? thank you Erick

keen25

I found one on the floor of the garage the other day and thought it came out of my crescent wrench.

keen25

I added photos with tags to ID dimensions, TT is the truck, T is the car.
The Crank hole to the screw hole appares to be the same in both the TT and T.

keen25

I am sorry but I meant to sent the above three replys to Tim.

keen25

Jim, The picture at the top shows a side by side comparison; on the left is a 26/27 car radiator apron and on the right a 26/27 TT truck radiator apron. The one on the right is 11/16" longer (top to bottom, y axis, height). The extra 11/16" is added in the area at the 12 o'clock location on the cran...

keen25

Tim,
I am I correct that you say the crank hole lines up with the apron you have now?

keen25

Jim,
Are your springs in the back 2 piece?

keen25

Started a refresh of my TT which I bought April 1980.

I restored it by 1987 as shown in the first picture, but the engine compartment was getting old.

keen25

This is really an off the wall thought but if an electric motor was attached in place of the crank, remove the plugs, jack the car up on blocks could a drivetrain be easier to diagnose? I know way out there. sorry.

keen25

I thought that the front of the TT Chassis / frame was the same as the car but, I took a measurement in the front area where the radiator is mounted and the TT is about 11/16" larger. see photo. I measured a car, 1925 back, chassis at 2" and the 1926 TT at 2 11/16". I feel this is reason for the dif...

keen25

Dan, you made me think that maybe only the 26 /27 TT was different because of the 9 leaf spring? Different cross member, spring, spring clip, and radiator apron?
Also, my frame did not have the hole drilled in where the fender bracket bolts to the under side, in the cross member.

keen25

I also notice: That the 26 / 27 TT apron I have has the slots for the nickel trim piece so then could the TT had a nickel radiator shell? I think the spring clip for the 26 was changed; enlarged threaded, and I think the 25 back TT used the car spring clip so did Ford make a apron for just the TT 25...

keen25

I noticed that the Radiator Apron for the 1924 - 1927 TT is a bit different then the car. The distance of the "face" is longer, see the attached photos. How does the fender's "tab" conner that goes near the front cross member match up with the apron? Is anyone reproducing the TT Aprons? IMG_1254.JPG...

keen25

It was just a piece of scrap 3/8" x 1" cold rolled steel.

keen25

Thank you, for the post to youtube. It did inspire me to work on an adjustment tool for both the upper and lower bridge in response to a question about the use of the hammer to adjust the lower bridge. I attached a photo for review and comment, the design most likely has been made in many backyard g...

Thank you, Erick

keen25

I am correct to think the oil pan plug tap size is 3/4" - 24 tpi ? thank you Erick

keen25

I wonder what the effect of the flow when a magneto post oil line is used? Also can the magnet be attach to the underside of the trans inspection cover?

keen25

It is a hole that you use when you rebuild the vaporizer, an alignment pin is inserted to clock the assembly.

keen25

I called Macs /Ecklers and have gotten a return slip to send it back. It is just so aggravating. FedEx was the shipper.

keen25

I just got the very limited hard to get reproduction oval gas tank for my 25 TT from Macs / Ecklers - Good news right? No came with a dent in the joint area. What a deflating and infuriating experience. Now I got to ship it back. I wish they would have packaged it better.

keen25

That to me is a metal anguish problem. You are thinking this ring still has some life in it but darn it is so deep in the engine assembly. I found that I have long forgot the financial pain of the few hundred dollars to install a new ring but if I put the used one in I will always be thinking that t...

keen25

Looks very nice and I like the 1922 on the radiator face.

keen25

Can you "set" an adjustable reamer with a very accurate "set up" ring? What is the specification for the ID of the bushings? I have seen .502" and .504"?

keen25

Will,
I started to try the engine build also. I got Gene's fixture and molds if you wish to look at them I live in Vineland NJ 08360.

keen25

I am curious, did he early HCCT manufactures or Ford patent their devices?

keen25

Hi, Will the book have a how to section on the restoration, calibration and maintenance of the HCCT? I am sorry about being a pain. Thank you for your work on this.

keen25

I just did the 25 T pickup I am working on, used the fuel bowl to hold the bulb socket with the help of some hot glue. I also made the tail light function as a brake light with use of the Bendix cover style switch. Dual contact 1157 bulb works good but will try to find a LED bulb to replace it.

keen25

Yes that is it. I have restored a 25 TT and 26 Coupe ; have never notice. Maybe it is time to see the eye doctor.

keen25

I found a Ford Script stamped into the face of the frame's front crossmember, to the right of the crank/spring clamp. It is about 1/2" high. The car is a 1925 model T roadster. Is the unusual or normal?

keen25

Hi Steve, I was wondering if you are looking for the carb tools shown in the illustrations? I don't have them but If anyone has a pattern to reproduce carb tools it would be most likely of great interest. It is not my intention to tread on your thread but just saw your trip post and you had what I a...

keen25

Is there a supplier for the 2 small nails used in the Ignition coil to hold the cover on?
thank you, Erick

keen25

Hi Ron,
Do you sell repair kits for the HCCT?
Thank you,
Erick

keen25

Where is the best place to buy Babbitt material? Who has the formula that is the best grade or one that is the same composition as the Ford model T? Thank you. Erick

keen25

Try Some compressed air and a blow gun to try and hear it moving around. The cheap $7 cameras that use a pc usb port are nice. I would also look around the shop floor or other parts of the frame. Best of luck

keen25

I just got the ECCT and with about 2 hours using it I found I like it. I like the Capacitor test. The test process flows logically with the panel layout, found it to be well thought out. I also have a HCCT that I rebuilt and will be comparing the two testing/adjustment devices as I get more into reb...
