Okay, first off, I want to sincerely thank all of you for providing information for me to get my '27 Coupe up to snuff. I had to get a new timer, had the carburetor rebuilt, and got the coils fixed up.

When I got this car, it had obviously been worked on by someone who just did what was required to get it running, well sort of!

I am going to...

I’ve been told that front tires on Model T’s usually wear faster than rears, but mine are doing the opposite. The one higher in the photo has always been on the front, and the lower one has always been on the rear. All four are Blockleys with about 5000 miles put on them over the last 21 months.

I looked at a 26 sedan today that a new owner had questions about a knocking noise. This car is a recent purchase of a full restoration that had a knocking engine after less than three miles of driving.

Do I need a battery shut-off on my car? When I got my '28 A 4 years ago it came with one. The car was restored around 10 years ago and the wiring is good. One day I did leave the switch 'on' and it ran the battery down. My fault. There is a draw somewhere that needs fixing, then. Out of all the many old cars I've owned, this is the only one that...

Anyone know which chapter or where the national tour is next year?

I'm currently working on a speedster build and am curious if anyone here knows what these types of fuel tanks are called? I do not take credit for these photos.

Thanks in advance!

Check out rbauction.com for a list of cars selling in White Bluff Tennessee. I think I counted 59 Model T's in the listing. It looks like something for everyone with only a handful of project cars.

Not exactly what you think. Last night I tried starting my '26 for the first time in two years. I tried charging the battery, but it was taking it's time getting there so I decided to try my luck at crank starting it as the coils were buzzing. I got it to 'pop' a couple times and even got a 'free start' once, but it didn't start. The question I...
