MTFCA Forum

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...

Couldn't locate anything using the forum search for my concerns...
Was looking for some pictures (and guidance) of other's T's showing valves properly seated and without head installed.

On the last start up, I noticed coolant bubbling out from the rear head and knew I needed to replace the head gasket.
Today I got the head removed, spent an hour...

So about 3 and a half years ago my wife found a 1926 Touring for sale in the local paper. I went to look at the car and bought it. The guy showed me a video of the car running form the previous year. He said the the Clutch was stuck and that was why the rear wheel was now not moving. As I took a better look at it when I got it home I found that...

NOT good.
Pulled the engine to put a rebuilt transmission on.

Put the car back together and when I checked the oil prior to starting the car it had oil in it (I installed a dipstick years ago).

Changed the oil and pulled the head thinking I had a blown head gasket. Replaced the head gasket (didn't really look bad) and reassembled.

Started the...

Good afternoon,

I am new to the wonderful world of the Model T. A little background: I have been involved with the Maine Forest & Logging Museum in Bradley, Maine, for quite a few years now. Back in December, we received a generous donation of two Ford Model TT trucks with Virgil White snowmobile conversions. Needless to say, we are pretty...

Is there an easy way to remove the battery from a 27 roadster? I'm thinking about getting a running board battery box like you see on TTs to allow easier access in the future. Pro's and cons?

I had a bit of a rude incident happen today.
I loaned my hub puller to a local T owner months ago, I explained how to use it properly.
Not a tool I use often so I didn’t mind he had it way longer than he needed it.
Much to my surprise when I requested it to be returned, he dropped it by my shop when I wasn’t there. When I unwrapped it, I found...

I reinstalled my magnets and I am using the KR Wilson jig. Reading over the comments on this forum regarding this issue I see people say they shoot for an overall variance of +/- 20 thousands. I can't find any mention regarding the magnet height relative to the trans shaft. The book says anywhere between 13/16 and 53/64. Is this measurement not...

The model T. How do you see it? 46A57EE6-DF6F-4561-A777-C57F8C57F66B.jpeg

I went to the Edgerton rock river thresheree on Saturday. I left the house at 6:15 and had a great ride up, about 2.5 hours but around 3 after I made a few stops. I had about 5 cars pass me the whole way, and was 95% on roads with no.lines or gravel. Winsconsin has some nice roads, but not drivers...
I stayed at the show a little later than I...

I'll be replacing the plugs in my '26 Fordor. The plugs are so old that I believe they've since been discontinued. They're currently Bosch Platinums. If it matters, I'm using a distributor, (forgive me, please). I don't have the car handy to check the numbers right now.

Regardless of what's in it now, what are your favorite go to 14mm plugs for...
