I drive my T's a lot. Yesterday. after a short drive, I left my 1915 touring idling running on magneto while I ran in the house for no more than two minutes. When I came out, smoke was pouring out of the coil box. I shut her down and removed the coil box lid and found the number one coil had tar bubbling out of it. I'm guessing it shorted out? I...

I know, it's your car and you can do what you want. But I have to confess that I'm a little disappointed when I see a pre-1926 Model T beautifully restored, with great attention to authentic detail, but with natural wheels. Before 1926 all Ford wheels were painted body color. In 1926 and 1927 varnished wheels became an option and were shown in a...

23 Roadster..Does the coil box lid secure the coils in any way? I don't have a lid for mine, and had a coil loose connection at the bottom contact. That made me wonder if a lid would have prevented this from happening. That being said, does anyone have a slant style coil box lid for a 23 roadster? Thanks..Tommy.

There are several videos of installing new upholstery on u tube but none show what I need to see. They only show how to put the material onto the springs of the bottom cushion. How do you secure the backrest to the body? Is the upholstery secured to the backrest or only to the body? What keeps the backrest springs from moving around after you...

Not for the wallet shy individual, but If you are need one, here you go. As seen on Tbay.

I am just now getting to the water pump on my 08 model SR. The water pumps were built into the radiator similar to the first 2500 T's, but ran off a gear mounted on the flywheel which is on the front of the engine. Mesh was adjusted through rubber pads/shims on the radiator mounting. I found that the gear on the water pump shaft is Fiber. The gear...

My low speed jet is loose and rattles off set point. I was tired after running new engine in today in the shop. Collar seems to be loose that the jet sets in. I will take it apart tomorrow but figured I would ask tonight. High speed is fine. How is resistance held against the screw?
Thanks guys

I just bought a 1913 Model T and I am going to pick it up this weekend. I have a large enclosed trailer so the car will be well protected, but I want to make sure it does not move around inside the trailer.
