MTFCA Forum

At last year's MTFCI International Tour in Cadillac I saw a couple of radiator caps with little anemometers on them. The cups spin as you go down the road (or it's windy.) Does anyone know who might be making and selling them? I have a Berg's radiator and have learned the hard way I can't put anything too heavy on the filler neck or the neck comes...

I just got my carburetor rebuilt, and it is on the way back here. I have some extremely fine rust particles that I see after filtering some of the fuel through a coffee filter (very fine) while the carb is off the vehicle. I've spent a lot of money so far and want to make due with what I have for now rather than replacing the fuel tank. This...

The journey:

Last fall I joined this forum.

Shortly after I found a local model T club and joined, along with my 12 year old son.

I was immediately welcomed and impressed by the people as well as the car. (the club has work days regularly at least 1 -2 per month)

I wasn't completely prepared to get a car... but I was inspired to begin...

With the Holidays over and the bitter cold days of Winter dragging along, time to start thinking about Model T activities again. I've been told the Ol Model T Coil Beepers are in short supply and folks wanting one can't get one. If your not familiar with it, the Coil Beeper is a handy little device popular at swap meets to test Model T coil...

Hi folks:
New to the forum and hoping you can point us in the right direction. I've done a search here and don't see anything pertinent to my question.

My grandson has a '26 roadster pickup and since next year will be the 100th birthday of the truck as well as Route 66, it would be fun to drive it along parts of the route. What we're looking for...

Hello all! Just signed up on the forums here. I'm hunting for a 1916 Ford Model T Touring Car that used to be owned by my grandfather, Richard C Dietz. Back in 2012, my grandfather passed away. My grandmother sold the Model T in a panic shortly after. It was originally supposed to be handed down to my father.

For the last few years, I've been...

Thinking into the future a little, While I'm waiting on a Layne KC Warford transmission to become available I thought it might be a good idea to upgrade the braking on the 1919 T with disc brakes due to the increase speeds I will be going. I have at the moment the reproduction AC brakes. They stop ok but I just bet they will not have the stopping...

I’m going to try a chapter thread this year. We need to remember this is a club site and chapter activities are important. By sharing what we do maybe other chapters can get some fresh ideas.

So, we meet the first Thursday of the month. Since it was January 2nd it was lightly attended. We had 18 people where we usually have in the 25-30 range....

Is it just for EV's? I do not know. fordlogo.jpg ew assembly line in Louisville, too.

I'm fairly new to model T's and have had lots of fun putting noisemakers on my '24.

I'm trying to learn about the whistle spark plugs.

I see many of the whistle portion of the assembly available. but not the plugs themselves.

teach me about the spark plugs.

I would assume these are specially built plugs, and as usual they are a wear part.

I...

done with this

I put a New Day in and was not happy with it.

IMG_4149.jpeg IMG_4160.jpeg IMG_4208.jpeg IMG_4210.jpeg For the last 7-8 years I gathered parts in hope of building a Torpedo. So I thought it’s time to put the chassis together and we’ll think about a body later. So for now I brought what I have to the shop and started with riveting brackets to the frame, straightening and aligning said brackets...

Here is a touchy topic for discussion;

Since finishing restoration and then taking my new pride and joy out on tours, it, and I, have been ridiculed by some in our local Clubs for bring a piece of $#!% or a Faux Eleven , or a Hodgepodge or a Disneyland car to the event. The kicker was when a long time and respected Model T-er said that my T is...
