Planning ahead, I would like to be able to use my Gas Headlamps at OCF parade or at a evening Cruise-in display. I am on the fence on whether I would like to use a small 10cf tank of Acetylene, -or Carbide (-see link below) in my Carbide Generator tank. How much difference in light (Lumens??) output will I see with one type of fuel over the...

I've seen the B tanks hung from the rear cross member of the frame, if that's any help whatsoever. (Not on Model T's, of course)

Maros, if you sincerely want a 1910 Ford take heart. You can have one. But, if you haven't noticed, the world is full of crooks. They will sell you a 1953 Willys and tell you it's a 1910 Ford. You have homework to do. You must study early Fords enough to have a good grasp of their identifying features. The more you know about a real 1910 Ford, the...

one of my coils are weak, i know because when starting if the commutator is rotated such that one of the coils is buzzing before i crank it, sometimes i hear a strong buzz other times its weaker, and sometimes its real strong, I don't know which coil(s) are making the weaker noise nor do I have access to a tester, how do I get them all going about...

Last post

.. Extra Restored coils should be kept in a secure, protected environment such as a locked coil box or packaged in cardboard to protect the point set on top of coils from any pressure or physical damage to offset coil calibration. Ignition coils that are kept under the seat in a car are subject to being out of proper settings.

Hello,
I am looking for a really good set of gas headlight mirrors for my 1914 Model T. I have a set of the nickel plated brass reflectors and halogen bulbs they sell at Snyders and Langs, but I would like something brighter if possible. I think I could get a little better headlight performance from a set of original gas headlight mirrors. Does...

Last post

I have two original reflectors in my 1912 van. They are the same diameter, but different curvature. To focus them requires that one is further to the front than the other. No big deal. It does look a little off in day light if you look at the lights front on. One reflector surface appears larger than the other.

John, I think some of us had difficulty getting our heads around measuring things in so many 128ths. That is weird! 45/128 is approx 3/8 , give or take 7/128 , which is almost 1/16

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but these rims were a one year (1919) deal. Then Ford went to the rims with integral lugs. These rims are also used on Buffalo Disc wheels, but with a heavy retainer ring that went around the entire rim and the retainer ring was held in place with 4 lug bolts. Just FYI...........

The tube shifting in the tyre happens when the tyre is underinflated. The valve stem hole in the rim and the same in the felloe will tend to hold the valve stem vertical, so when the tube wants to shift it will tend to tear away from the stem. The same can happen with metal stem tubes. The correct tyre pressure is the answer.

Umm, how do they go back together. Mine is disassembled and I cannot find photos of when I took it apart.
Photos and orientation of parts, especially the small parts would be great. I did search the forum and found write-up but no pics.
Mine was missing good springs and some were in pieces. I have a rebuild kit for both.
Thanks

After days of playing with it, I answered my own question. The passenger latch does not lock from the inside as they purposefully cut and bent a tab down to prevent the lever from being pulled back (no position 3 for right side).
Also, if you were to lock the door with a key from the outside, it can not be unlocked from the inside.
The knob is 1/4...

I recently acquired a large group of ancient (1910's to 1930's) negatives from the Kansas City Southern Railroad. These were once part of the railroad's files and are generally photos of railroad structures and the like. The Ford Model T manages to show up in some of the photos, so I thought I would share them here.

The graphite/enamel/mineral spirits mix does harden and provides great slickness between the leafs. After applying, assemble the leafs together and tighten, then clean off any mix on the outside edges, tops and bottoms of the assembled springs with mineral spirits and paint with a gloss black paint of your choice.

At the business end of things, I know that one runs pressure to a hollow rocker arm shaft, with an outlet at each rocker arm bushing....

Mine are pressurised via the rocker cover hold down stud. Stands are in steel and clamp onto the shaft so shafts can be used for oil ways.

I talked to the sheet metal guy, it can probably be pressed out and then possibly heated with a torch and quenched to shrink it if needed; not a big deal. According to him, the biggest, most time-consuming part of the job is to make the surface rust go away, so you can actually see where the dents are.
