Re: Distributor install
Hi Joe
The original one fit perfectly
The top dist plate does not rotate now, I pushed down on it, does that make a difference?

Fuel leak
Hi All
Need some Barn expertise
The fuel line that goes into the fuel bowl leading to the carb (1930) is leaking at the bowl fitting. Tried to tighten, no go.

Re: Paint Sanding
Kevin, so wet 320 should equal 400 as a final sand, is that correct?

Re: Radiator and gas caps
What ares the difference in the 30-31 caps vs the earlier ones? My cap sits very high so that the window frame contacts it. Maybe it is not a problem with the window frame but the cap. Suggestions?

Re: Paint Sanding
Good advise all
Final sanding willl be 400 wet, smooth but still some bite
Wet keeps the toxic dust down

Re: How hot should an A run?
150 here no thermostate
This car seems to run better at the lower temp. In the winter I use the radiator/card board trick learned from the Barn to get her up to running temp quickly.
In the summer...

Re: Runs Rough at Speed
One suggestion
Remove the carb jets and check to see if they are at spec
If not originals, repros in my experience, some were not even close to spec.
Solder them closed and re-drill
