MTFCA Forum

Reading the questions and comments , I was wondering about the members source of information for operation of the Model and repair:\?

1. Books.
2. Internet.
3. Forum.
4. Other.

For me books first and Internet if I am stumped?

Before the internet, books. Since 2000, all of the MTFCA forum experts have never failed me. Jim Patrick

T1 manual.
M Fahnestock service bulletins.
Google old MTFCA with subject.
General internet can screw you up but good. Lots of inexperienced fools with an ignorant opinion.

I’ve been harvesting all my Model T advice, support and encouragement right here on the Forum since receiving my first T back in 1966....and that was 10 years before Algore invented the Internet !!

Confess George! I’ve seen the original Model T stone tablets in your library…..

For mechanical repairs:
1. Model T Ford Service Manual,
2. Murray Fahenstock, "The Model T Ford Owner",
3. The Model Ford Service Bulletin Essentials,
4. MTFCA books.

For identifying cars & parts:
1. Bruce McCalley, "The Car That Changed the World".
2. Langs and Snyders sites.

For other general information:
1. Ford Instruction Book,
2. Page, "The Model T Ford Car".
3. The Vintage Ford.

And of course, this forum. Unless they're created by experienced Model T owners, I tend to keep clear of general internet searches because of the misinformation. For example, the various car sites and YouTube channels that consider the Model T difficult to drive, or claim they were only ever available in black.

Most original books explain procedures to take it apart put it back together. Newer manual may have some specifications. Use the Internet to search the Forum (search words MTFCA). Youtube, https://modeltfordfix.com/, and almost all the books here http://www.cimorelli.com/mtdl/default.htm
then ASK THE FORUM

And our very own encyclopedia here on this web site: https://www.mtfca.com/encyclopedia/
