Scraping bottom can work, but I'm not sure it is endearing. I think it is time for buyers to appreciate the fair value of what they are looking for. I feel that it is an insult to the seller for the buyer to outright reject the offer without at least acknowledging what was done. I'm waiting for the request in the classifieds with the buyer wanting...

To add to Kerry's comments, Fords were sent to Australia as boxes of CKD parts, a little before the 1917 embargo. They included all except the body. That was to reduce freight volume and therefore costs. Because the War had such a profound affect on shipping with firstly increased demand, then many losses, costs escalated. Retired sailing vessels...

Welcome Harold 👋

Nice Coupe 👍

Zenith was a set and forget carburetor that controlled everything through jetting. That was fine when Zenith had dealers with all the jets in stock, now we live with what we got or carefully try to modify the jets. Stan Howe makes an adjustable main jet for his restored Zeniths. It looks pretty cool.

In Stromberg carburetors, an LB-1, MB-1, OC-2,...

Spare tire carrier rim clamp??? Mine is missing, so I don't know if that's exactly what it looks like. On the spare carrier, the rim sets down on the top too clamps, and the one at the bottom is clamped down by a rim nut & clamp, keeping the spare in place.

I got one too, was tricked into replying that I hadn't gotten his prior email then came the request to borrow some money---NOPE, not Terry asking!!

Wait a second Dave. You've had a hair cut already! Else your hair don't grow... :lol:
No way Dallas. I've... Never mind... Been close... Still here! ;)
Dave, I have an Elm branch imposing on a pine tree. Would you stop over?
:lol:

Several local guys here have had Erik Larson rebuild their coils and have all been super pleased with the performance. Adjusting them with the latest electronic device like the ECCT will allow the coils to all fire at the same amount of time for smoother and better performance. I would look to have them done by someone that uses the most sensitive...

Here are a couple of pages for everybody new to the Model T game:

Thank You Sir

Frank,

Look up Occam's Razor. In the 14th century William of Occam postulated that, all things equal, the simplest answer to a problem tends to be the correct answer.

Hi, Darrel,
Sent you an email ref purchase of one of your 1919-1925 patent plates. Email had typo of 1911-1925.
Thank you,

Early 15 open cars did come from the factory with gas headlights. I hate to say it, but who ever says they didn't is wrong.

It will need to be rebuilt

Tiger and Duntley are sold.

Thanks Tim! That's our sentiment exactly.
Once the screwy weather straightened out, we've already had at least 4 impromptu outings with anywhere from 3 to 7 cars. We had 7 cars on an early May Sunday when it was a rare nice day that I threw together. All we did was drive and make one short stop toward the end to stretch our legs. Was nice to get...

AW Crap! I already sent you $10,000 as requested by your e-mail. Please write me a replacement check as soon as you can and send it to me. :roll: :lol:

My car had a Z head when I inherited it. Unfortunately it cracked the year Pop passed away from the heater malfunctioning in the garage.
I put THE Jensen head that Kevin Prus told me he used to make his mold.
I also honed and ringed it/touched up and adjusted the oversized valves at the same time.
Aluminum early intake, Stromberg OF and a Thomas...

What a wonderful tour you folks are having! I'm envious as blazes.

Good thoughts Harold. I do think you’re a little quick to “junk” the Model T, however, as well as “re-commission” them. Perhaps region is a factor in the number of Ts continuing in service, but I think our own family history is likely pertinent:
In 1929, at the age of 38, my granddad bought his first motor vehicle - a “lightly used” 1925 Model T...

Dennis,
I am looking for a set of Top Irons for a 26-27 touring. Can you help?

I need to post pictures of the engine bay of Dad's 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider Quady with 50,000 original miles. I do not think there is on bit of insulation left on any of the wires. Bare copper everywhere!

Bill. In the 1920’s, photography and studio lighting had progressed to the point that cameras easily captured images without such contraptions. I believe in this movie, the head support and old 19th century camera was used for comedic effect. The head support is proper for use in photo studios of the 19th century in keeping living subjects still...

Whatever you do I am glad you found it and the owner didn’t leave it apart out in a field somewhere in the 60’s. That would have been the end of it for sure!

Boy aint that the truth.

My Papaw was active in the RGV Livestock Show and ran the stage lights as a volunteer when the music acts would perform. I have an early memory of him picking me up in his arms to say hi to a very young Barbara Mandrell. Even as a...

Anyone running a set of these or know the appropiate lugs and rims?

Check out the wires between the timer and the coil box. Sometimes a wire gets grounded and especially if you are running on battery it will put out a continual spark instead of sparking at the proper time. Also check out the timing with the spark lever all the way up the spark should come after top dead center. Check timing of each cylinder, not...

Shoot, I might be more excited than you! Itchin' to see how you fare!

Yeehaw Bob! Good to hear!

When Pa tore down the old hotel, he found canvas bags full of gold coins sealed up in the walls
in a room upstairs.

Many thanks for stepping in and helping out. Frank

Inside the groove in the body should be a small cotton rope type gasket and the bottom uses the same gasket as a Holley G.

Seriously cool John.
When that day comes. :)

Thanks!

I did the mag test, it lights up the bulb at idle, (I think around 10 volts) and gets pretty bright at high speed, (15 volts or a tad more). The crank does have end play, looks to be over .020 , but I am not very good at judging how far things move, and didn't feel like getting out the indicator and taking stuff apart enough to attach it....

You guys are awesome as usual. That is the info I needed to continue on my calculations. Thank You very much.

Hap, bore and stroke, as well as head chamber size, piston - or + volume, and head gasket volume are all needed to accurately calculate compression. Most are satisfied with assumptions and previous data, but the potential for every engine...

One could use a T bearing on the outside and you are good to go;)

Usually there is not enough thread length on the spindle to run the outer bearing up to the race. This is the case when converting to A front hubs. So either put a huge spacer behind the inner bearing... scary!!! Or extend the thread and register diameter long enough to fit, and...
