Could be beneficial for some of us.

Carb runs great on new engine start, but dribbling a little fuel from the passage screws. They were a little loose but don’t want to snug them in until I ask. Not tapered and nothing to seal on the lip. I am thinking a touch of pipe dope maybe. 91CEE119-B52D-4B5E-8127-80967E763A7D.jpeg 8417E65E-E303-416E-9FB9-80FA983AC312.jpeg

It was pointed out to me by another forum member that the thread I initiated asking people to report on their experiences with the Covid 19 shot has been deleted. I guess something was said that the administrators found offensive or too off topic for the off topic section. If that is so, I apologize but I can't leave it without a final comment....

First correct answer. Only one clue, it’s T Ford related. The first correct answer can have a choice of one of our spring loaded oil can holders, or my left kidney. I’m still using my right one. 3B0EF058-56E3-4466-A36B-BE903B4A18E5.jpeg

I’m still fairly new with model Ts. I just purchased a 1915 roadster. I’m probably going to need to put a radiator on it as it has the original round tube on it. It’s not in the greatest shape and it probably leaks. I haven’t put water in it yet as the car has been sitting idle for About 49 years. Hard to believe I put gas in it and it started but...

A friend just bought a Model T speedster with buffalo wheels. He feels the caps are in bad condition, so he would like to replace these with better ones. Does anyone repop these or do we need to advertise for originals? I don't see them in any of my catalogs. What is a fair price? Are there left and rights? I am not a speedster guy, so this is new...

As the title says. I found my last one a ‘Bimel’ did not fit so I need one more front wheel to get my project rolling.

When this forum went to this new format years ago, one of the pro's of it was to be able to post pics of just about any size with no problems, as opposed to the old forum. Steve Jelf used to always promote that.
Seems lately tho, about 80% of the time I try to post a pic, of usual MB size , it gets tossed out because the PIXELS for Height and/or...

I am buying my first Model T this week. It is a touring car that was made in October of 1913 so it has a 1914 body style. The car was restored to be the way it came from the factory without a battery or electrical lights. I want to add a battery, turn signals and brake lights for safety.

Got these co-co mats, 24x35 from IKEA that have a heavy rubber non skid backing. ( under 8 dollars each ) The one for the back is too big but the one for the front is a little shy below the firewall.

My interest in early Ford history has led to several observations about one of the two primary (and equally largest shareholders), Henry Ford and Alexander Y. Malcomson. If one goes the Google route, the first impression of Malcomson's and Ford's relationship was one of antagonism, with A.Y.Malcomson pushing or even forcing Henry Ford to build...

Looking for 4 Kelsey wheel lugs like in the first attached picture. Alternatively, if those can't be found, 2 of the slanted lugs with a K stamped on them should work. Prefer the first kind with Kelsey written on them so that all my lugs will match. These are on the rear wheels of a TT.

Thanks,

Grady from Paradise, TX

Henry Ford was fascinated with watches as a child. He learned to take them apart and reassemble them at an early age.
Georges Frederic Roskopf developed “La Prolétaire” (People's Watch) in 1867, intended to be affordable by the masses.
I suppose it's possible that young Henry would have known about him and his watch, n'est pas?

Hello, i am trying to get a complete list of prewar (mainly brass era) swap meets, car shows, and tours that are held (mainly in the US, but abroad welcome) because it can be hard to track them down as many are not well advertised and info is limited.

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...

copy? I need to tear into mine and replace the gears (7 1/4:1 to 5 1/6:1). Some literature would help so I won't be totally winging it. Please send me a pm if you can help. Thank you. Bob

So when I went to hook up my Radious rod it didn't line up. I'm thinking that I have to jack up the frame of the car to allow the front suspension hang and line it up that way. Am I missing something?

On the 26/27 coupe, roadster, touring, and tudor, which side of the firewall should the steering column flange mount ?

I used to believe that old axiom when I was younger,
then I went to work and learned it was mostly a story for telling customers.

But successful people are breaking that paradigm all the time - Henry Ford was one of them.

Does anyone support the True-Fire ignition system with parts or information? A friend got one of those setups in a box when he bought his car.
