Bottom Line Up Front:

Our local South Carolina Model T chapter is going to show their T’s to a local college that has an automobile history class (or similar title). Feb 2 or sometime close to that is the date.

I generally don't recall my dreams, but this morning I woke up like I'd been poked with a cattle prod!
I had recently rebuilt my rear axle. Through all the various test fits setting thrust bearings and gear lash, while I had torqued down the pinion gear, I had left it unpinned intending to do it with final fitment. Generally, I'm always very anal...

Another question for the team, when recharging the magnets on a magneto in the car, do you have to touch each magnet individually or just at the mag post? i’m working on a 1925. I have the hogs head off to inspect the coil rings. Everything looks good but the mags are weak. I was planning on doing the flash charge with a DC welder.
Thank you

Last week my 26 sedan ran so great but this week there’s a slight missing in the exhaust and a noticeable loss of power. And when I shut the engine off there’s a noticeable vapor coming out of the choke. 🫤 shorting out each spark plug seems to have no noticeable change in engine sound.

After finally getting the engine to run in a friend's newly-purchased '26 T, it was noted that the ammeter did not register a charge even when the engine was revved up. The ammeter was wired backwards (of course!), showing a charge when the lights were tested. Once the ammeter wires were corrected, turning on the headlights gave a discharge on the...
