I'm trying to run a T engine with T crank with a dry clutch setup (basically like a modern type engine/clutch /trans setup). That means I need to somehow seal the rear main. How can it be done? I have one idea, but you certainly wont be able to plumb alot of pressure to the rear...

D Tour 313 posted this on their Facebook page this morning. (Well, it's your evening, but we'll say an hour ago. ;) )

The caption is An afternoon stroll on Belle Isle. and is credited as being from the Burton Library dated 1908.

Perhaps it's actually 1909? Or could it be a super early...

Been in Japan since 1 February on a work trip. Initially, we were supposed to come home on 7 March, but it looks like that may be delayed 3 weeks.

That's a long time to be away from things T related.

Luckily, Japan does not disappoint us T'ers! Our first weekend here, we went to the Toyota Museum in Nagoya. There is one beautiful, red, early T...

Since I got my car I have been reading all the high compression head discussions, but there's a question I haven't seen asked...

I am assembling a brand new U-joint with a brand new drive shaft. The u-joint slides halfway into place on the greased up drive shaft and binds up (test fit outside torque tube). I suspect I could get it on with a mallet or heat but then I don't know how I would get it off. I know tight is good, but this seems too tight.

I measured the drive...

From another website:

Beware! If you have an irresistible urge to buy another Model T, you could be suffering from... Car-owner virus!!

Apparently the head gasket leak between #3 and #4 was not the whole story. I installed a new gasket but compression was still low. I thought maybe I hadn't used enough copper coat for a good seal, so I pulled the head again, cleaned everything up, and reinstalled it with lots of goo. This morning I tested my compression gauge to see if it's...

Do it or don’t?

If so, how best?

At least three Model K Ford owners attended the 1908 Vanderbilt Cup race held on Long Island. This is a photo story of one of them. Copies of the photos below were mailed to me after a gentleman read the story of our Model K in the AACA magazine a few months ago. A little “detective” work helped me learn about the owner.

First, the photos....

The suppliers have two types of adjustable lifters, self-locking for 2 wrench adjustment and lifters with locknuts which require 3 wrenches for adjusting.

What are the pros and cons? Are the ones with lock nuts less prone to coming loose?

Does anyone know what woven linings will work on Rocky Mountain brakes when wet? I relined a large drum set a few years ago with a woven linings. I could lock them up on pavement when dry but were useless when wet. I need to reline a small drum set and would like to use the woven linings.

So with the 4 bolts out, shouldn't the transmission slide back off the crank ? What is the est way to convince it to slide off ?

Does anyone know the difference between 17 to 25 T brake rods and 26,27 brake rods ? Thanks for any help.
