Hello Everyone,
My name is Brian. I am a new member.
I bought a 1915 touring car last year that has an after market aluminum head on it. It has the Ford Script on top as well as the “made in the usa” and also a letter “R” right in front of the coolant outlet. I am trying to figure out which head this is but don’t see it in any of my catalogs.

Hello,

I am reverting back to non water-pump status on my '23 Touring. The car came with the aftermarket pump and on the advice of others and considering that it leaks I decided to do away with it. Not so simple. I see the fan pulley and the crank pulley are offset, with the top pulley appearing to be about a half-inch forward of the bottom one....

I'm at my wits end. I was driving my 1926 roadster and all of a sudden it started running strange. Plenty of power under acceleration then when the engine is under no load it starts missing and a bup bup sound from the muffler every time it misses. all misses are at a random intervals (not a steady miss like one cylinder isn't firing) Same thing...

Hi all,

Actually it's my son Eric who has recently bought a 1923 Model T. He learned to drive it on the flats in Bakersfield, CA and then trailered it up to Frazier Park where driving is a bit more challenging because of the hills. He installed a set of Rocky Mountain brakes while still in Bakersfield.

I've been helping him troubleshoot some...

I have a 1924 Model T and I need to change the oil. I looked up what grade of oil to use and got a few different answers online. I am in NJ and will typically drive when it is warmer 40+ Degrees so it sounds 5W-30 should be sufficient, but I just want to make sure. Thanks for your help!

I am down from Alaska to visit family and take care of some things. I picked up a bunch of parts today and brought them to my little ranch in Nevada only to discover that someone had broken into every building and stole my 1969 international scout and flatbed trailer. They went through everything, stole all the tools and a bunch of other things....

I’ll start this for hints on rebuilding your Stromberg OF carb. PLEASE JUMP IN if you have any hints or advice. I’ve often advocated that these are very simple carbs. If you can take apart a simple lawnmower carb, these are a piece of cake. If you haven’t, there isn’t much to them and I’d encourage you to get your hands dirty. Nothing better than...

There is a small amount of oil puddling at the spark plugs on my '23 Touring. Cylinder head is the high compression Z-head. When the car is running I see it bubbling slightly, not very much. If you've ever seen the movie Giant with James Dean and a host of other big stars, there's a scene where he hits a gusher and just before it turns into a...

Still new to this hobby.
Just finished regreasing my front wheel bearings.
Went for a test ride today and right front threaded center hub which holds on my wire wheels had loosened up after about 4-5 miles
Fortunately I stopped before it came off completely. I had used a 5 pound sledge hammer on a 1 foot long wrench to tighten the front wheels so...

Connecting the fuel line to the sediment bulb involves the pack nut and a felt gasket. However, I see where one of the suppliers offers the option of using a neoprene gasket instead. This looks like a good option to me. Any comments?

After a 6 year restoration, Mark and Phil Eyre finished their '11 Torpedo today. This was a car they looked at only to satisfy their curiosity. Originally advertised nearly 30 years ago as a Model T Speedster they realized this was a real '11 Torpedo. They purchased the car and gradually acquired all of the missing or incorrect parts. Once they...
