Hi

I bought a set of Campion x spark plugs for my 1926 Touring from two sellers on Ebay and had them sent to me in Switzerland. I figured they were both the late old plugs.

But I see some differences:

-Cone at the base of the cable connection thread
-Length of the porcelain
-Mounting of the archwire

Can someone enlighten me there?

What should...

going through my hinges and found parts for a Rands hinge, any idea which years? Thank you, Bob

I am going through hundrens of T hinges and ran across this one, any ideas what its for? Bob

24 Model T Coupe: There is a button to the left of the steering wheel on the dashboard. Any thoughts of what it does? I hope i can attach a picture. unnamed.jpg

Hello All, I am restoring my Model T 1914 headlights. Would anyone know the shade of back paint I should be painting the inside of the headlight housing (glossy black, satin black, flat back, jet black) ?? Bob

I see Lang's has a 6v and 12v alternator for the same price. I have no problem keeping my 24 Coupe 6v but is their and pros to going to a 12v alternator? Would it cause problems with the buzz coils? I have a feeling it would.

It seems like most Model Ts have been upgraded over the almost over 100 years since 1908 and 1927. Certainly engine numbers showing blocks that have been added or upgraded and made by Ford up until 1941 are not an indicator.

What does define a year?

Rather desperately seeking float arm for Holley 4550 carburetor, 1912. Lang's supplier is deceased. Prefer to buy just the arm but will consider purchase of more of the carburetor if available.

Sure seems like one of those easy tasks to check off your list in short order on a rainy day. Well, it isn’t. I did one, for the first time, this afternoon, and must say that it took a good 50% of my mechanical ingenuity along with about 4 hours of my afternoon to accomplish. The result was perfect, but man, I never expected to incorporate the...

This is probably a trick that many of you know but I'm posting it because it was new to me and worked well. It may help someone else.

I acquired a replacement hub and couldn't get a hub cap to thread onto it.

When I go through a drive through in my T, I usually pay in 2 dollar bills and half dollars. The reactions can get pretty amusing. Anyways, I was at the dollar general not 30 min ago, and handed the cashier 2 two-dollar-bills. She wanted to keep them and asked the manager how she could do that. The manager told her how and then told her that they...

Hello Model T Club, I am a NEW member as well as a new Model T owner. I have a quick question for everyone. I am a new owner of a 1914 Model T, the car starts and sounds great when running however when I place the car in 1st gear the (I believe the Transmission) makes an occasional medal-on-medal thumping sound at times. Can anyone please advise...

I just love finding nos parts.

I was cleaning out things and found this. Thought someone may want to make a set. They are the cats meow when it comes to lifting a T.

So are any of the years/models that are better as a driver. I would think with improvements the 26/27 may be the best but many say they are slower.

Here’s a few pics of a 13 Speedster at the Savoy Auto Museum. I’ve seen the Rajo head a few times. Has anyone run a T with a Rajo head? What kind of performance differences are associated once one is installed? Curious about the specs of the impact it has.

The ultrasonic I need is an L&R T-28 that is several years old or a schematic of the generator part of one that tells me what the size of three burned out resistors.

Wondering if there is a general consensus regarding tire wear by mileage?
I have a 26 Tudor that is due for a new set of tires.
These are 21” Universal brand. I do not have a speedometer so the mileage on this set of tires is a geusstimation.
Anybody out there have a similar car with accurate mileage on a set of compatible tires?

I have a cracked Drivers side window and need to replace both windshields. I have a 1924 Coup. How or where.. do i go to get this glass?

Is this normal when running both?

Hypothetical.......

Model T Fords are to be identified by the motor engine number. The early Ford manuals suggest that when a new block or motor is place in a car whose motor needs to be replaced, the mechanic use stencils to place the old motor number on the new motor block....

So, should a 1927 roadster be reconstructed, whose title and older...

I have been working on the wheel rebuild and I got another front hub to replace one of the ones I had that had a spun bearing race. While bead blasting the new one and getting the races out, I noticed that the rough casting was about 1/10th of an inch off center. This made it tough to get to the back side of the race on one side and the rough...

1909 Kingston 5 Ball Carburetor. This model was used up to June of 1910. Is complete but has no float. No visible cracks.
Asking $1500.

Suitable for 1908 NRS or early 1909 T. This lamp has the small blue jewel instead of the large lens on the later tail lights. Also the patent pending top. These lamps were used for only a very short time. Very nice condition, $500.00 plus shipping. Kdmks AT att.net.

I think I am going to stay with the stock cast iron head but does anyone make a cast iron high compression head for the T?

For sale is a 1911 Kingston coil box with the original metal top coils. These metal top coils were only used in 1911 and this is the only one of these units I’ve ever seen. As you can see from the pictures, it’s very complete and in excellent condition. $1200.00 postpaid to lower 48 states. kdmks AT att.net.

I am looking for the needle in the haystack. Here is a picture of the upper windshield hinge screw and washer on a 1916 sedan. They are missing on the opposite side. I believe these were used on the 1915 and 1916 closed cars.

The washer reads: JOS. N. SMITH & CO.
PAT. DEC. 15, 1914.

Hi all,
I took my front springs apart and marked each one on the front. How important is it to replace the spring exactly as they were when all together? Would there be any benefit to put every other one backwards? Or, put the pack in the same order but all facing backwards as opposed to the original way? Thanks in advance.
John

I'm in need of a single contact, spring loaded plug - see photos. Glad to pay your price if dimensionally correct and threads not stripped out of the side hole - it's a 6-32 - the other side hole is to insert the wire and it tightens from the top.

I'm looking for an email for Wayne Atkinson of Idaho (as of 1996). More specifically, I am looking for him to see if he has a clearer copy of the 1996 January article he wrote for New Secrets Magazine . My only copy is blurry... It's the one about air flow in various T parts.
