Hi all,
I just took off the hogshead to change my bands. One of the mag coils has no covering on it. It's the one by the starter hole. Is there a way to cover it up with something like RTV, or liquid rubber? Thanks.

I can supply a very limited number of the proper timer control rod swivels with nut for earlier Model Ts. They are NOS New Old Stock and there will be no more when these are gone. If you do not have a threaded rod, I will throw in ( until they run out) a later control rod that you could cut off the end and thread for the swivel. Priced at $45...

I plan to drive my 1915 from Kansas again, and Dave Hjortnaes aims to drive his touring (1922?) from Wisconsin again. Anybody else driving from outside the Detroit area?

I have been trying to purchase a 1912 Torpedo from a guy and made him what I think is a generous but reasonable offer. The car is not mint, but fairly nice let's say a 7 out of 10. Needs tires, probably wheels should be redone as they are the originals, the upholstery looks good but not what I would consider a show car. It is painted black rather...

I just bought this and paid a small fortune because it is way cool
does not say Aermore says big 4 horn
it is adjustable
someone said it looks like the Case Tractor big 4
I have no idea
there are two set screws to hold the fitting to the whistle
four brass tubes
casting holds the tubes
spring loaded to activate
has anyone ever seen one like this?...

Got good advice to straighten a bent radius rod cold ….

How would you fix this? Inside lip of front cross member bent slightly. Without removing it. I am not set up to do that now or ever. Would you hammer it hot? Cold? Or leave it alone?

Sitting here starting the process of measuring 8 bearings & checking for taper using 3 different points. I decide to procrastinate and started thinking there has to be a better way. Is there? Love to hear your best practice? I’ve gone as far as using a bar at standard 1.062 to see the height of the rollers above the cage.

Had an interesting question recently. We know Ames made bodies for Model Ts, but did they ever actually build and market their own complete car using a Model T Chassis?
Thanks for any history/info.

I have been pondering for years a way to circulate extra water to cool the rear cylinders in my speedster engine. I always imagined something similar to a Fronty water manifold fed by a water hose tapped off of the standard water inlet casting. The more I think about it... the more I consider making an authentic Fronty water manifold to do the...

Crunch. Ouch.

Exhaust Manifold broken.jpg

Many, many bad word were said.

This Frontenac exhaust manifold had been repaired (at least) once before and the flanges were so thin, spacers were needed for the manifold to clear the hogshead. There is no marking on the head, but the combustion chamber measurement indicates it is a Model T....

Hi All,
In trying to start my 26 Tourer with 23 engine I rebuilt the Holley NH and used the viton tipped needle/float valve that was supplied with the rebuild kit. It wouldn't start no matter what. Ran down the battery. Finally today took the carb off and saw that the new (viton tipped) needle was stuck. I had the same issue with another Holley NH...

Recently I've helped a number of our club's new Model T owners with assessing the mechanical condition of their purchases.

Cracks radiating from the key slot, worn slots, corrosion / damage on the taper, etc., were the most...

I dont know too much about Model T coils but from what I understand when checking a coil and you find the primary or secondary windings are damaged that the coil is not rebuildable.
