Last week my 26 sedan ran so great but this week there’s a slight missing in the exhaust and a noticeable loss of power. And when I shut the engine off there’s a noticeable vapor coming out of the choke. 🫤 shorting out each spark plug seems to have no noticeable change in engine sound.
I was hoping to post a short video of the fuel vapor coming...

Another question for the team, when recharging the magnets on a magneto in the car, do you have to touch each magnet individually or just at the mag post? i’m working on a 1925. I have the hogs head off to inspect the coil rings. Everything looks good but the mags are weak. I was planning on doing the flash charge with a DC welder.
Thank you

Hello everyone. A very sad day here, Dick Hautzinger passed yesterday. I was very fortunate to know him for quite some time and travel to many swap meets, shows with him. I was always surprised by the amount of people that knew him wherever we traveled. His knowledge of Model T’s was endless.

Constantly inspecting and cleaning up parts, I noticed something odd about my fan hub.
The belt hub itself spins true. The fan blades themselves spin true. However, the hub shaft and blade flange are spinning 0.097 off center!! The rivets for the blades were drilled true to shaft center, not with the flange.

Not sure who produced this head, or the compression rating on it. It appears to be greater than 6 to1 but that's just my opinion. The only markings on it other that the Ford script and made in USA is a 4 at the water outlet and a 2 and 4 at the back of the top surface of the head. These numbers are raised and part of the casting.
