I have made several additions to the test rig that I have been playing around with this winter and have more in mind. I have added an AC volt/ammeter to the inverter supply to make it possible to monitor the power consumption with changes in flywheels weights and magnet types. One toggle switch allows me to change from operating the coil box to...

I recently completed rewinding a generator armature. Andre from Belgium and Ron Patterson encouraged me and offered advice to take on this project. Scott Conger offered several recommendations including a technique to eliminate any material shorting the segments. In addition to these people, several electric motor shop owners gave advice and...

Is anyone selling Michelin 30X3 1/2 tubes in the US?

From ‘Ford Dealer and Service Field’ of November 1927.
I haven’t seen anything else quite like this. A useful accessory if it works. $65 in today’s money. However, The more I think about it, the more doubts I have. The actual bearing part must be shorter than normal, and that would have to be sized, bored, shimmed or scraped to suit the crank....

Looking for a 1914 touring in good running condition although I would consider others. I'm located in Michigan. Not interested if it's painted red. Appreciate any help locating one.

Hi…Has anyone ever used one?

Not to continue hijacking a different thread, I have found more photos of T parts in a salvage yard.
Also, Can anyone identify, or maybe help to identify this speedster body.

Thanks
Scott

Its that wonderful time of the year again!
Time to test and tune Model T coils for the Summer Touring season.

Learning the art of coil tuning is fun and easy to do with the right tools and videos.
Taking an active roll in how well your Model T runs also adds a very satisfying component to the Model T driving experience.

Tired of messy timer maintenance every 500 Miles? The Surging, jerking, skipping, missing.... Try an Ideal Timer (I-Timer). It's a direct drop in replacement for the stock Model T timber yet completely maintenance Free.

Complete Distributor Conversion is a lot of work to install timing cover and coil, still requires periodic maintenance and periodic replacement of points and cap. The E-Timer, on the other hand, is a simple drop in alternative that also features automatic timing advance but is completely maintenance free, non-contact and never wares out for about...

Ed Larson was kind enough to teach me how an early 2 lever/2 pedal waterpump T shifts at the MTFCA Winter Clinic hosted by McPherson College (KS).

The ability to locate and correct car troubles quickly is a valuable asset to the repairman. That's what the good book says.

1.All the nuts holding the hub to the to the backing plate. Every one was loose! I checked them all originally when I checked out the axle and bearings. I drove it around 20 miles since than and now they are all loose. I tightened...

I took this picture at work about a year ago. It's a little humerous to compare parts from my T to other things sometimes. For some reason I took my carb to work one day to mess with after hours. On the table was a different carburetor, a carburetor for a T-28, or more specifically an R-1820-86b.
I didn't take the cover off, not at a rebuild...

My 1909 Touring has a nasty habit of leaking oil all over the engine bay and undercarriage from the open valve train. Not only is the oil unsightly, but the oil is a pain to clean after just a short drive. To solve the problem, I made a leather valve cover that straps to the engine and the problem is now taken care of!! The leather cover has two...

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.

Do any of you know of a 5 or 10 minute presentation with PowerPoint slides or pictures that I might be able to download or borrow?...

I'm new to the model T game so I'm just learning. What I'm learning so far is that this is a very expensive hobby! Ouch, anyway I have a 1926 Coupe with wood spokes. I just realized my spokes are loose. I'm finding different size tenon holes and lengths via the vendors. Is there a way to determine which ones I currently have so I can order spokes...

Just posted a new Model T road trip video from Fresno into the foothills of Central California—camping at the San Joaquin River Gorge, roadside brake adjustment, North Fork, and a run out to one of the disputed locations of California’s geographic center.

I have Manifold Heater made by Visel-Darling Co. Inc. from Bronson Michigan.
I want to install it on my 1915 Centerdoor.
I'm wondering about the connection to the cab.
I assume there should be a floor grate/shut off that would mount on the floor boards using a flexible metal tube.
Any help/information is appreciated.

For half a century, members of the Rose City Model T Club have had access to Hand Cranked Coil Testers (HCCT) to tune up Model T coils.

Since the passing of Stan and Russ does anyone have a source of valve seats and floats for the Kingston 5 Ball Carb?

The Stan Howe setup work great. The float is from a Harley Davidson.

The 1909 float and seat aren’t original. The problem is the seat is some sort of plastic ball and it hangs up.

Any source would be greatly appreciated....
