Re: Tight crank gear
Contact whoever you bought it from and get them to replace it for you
Alternatively, take it down to your local shop and have them bore it to the size you're looking for

Re: Snyder's New Catalog Came...and a Warning!
If I was paying someone hourly labor to do all the work I've put into mine, I couldn't justify owning it. I'd probably be $20k to $30k deep in just labor costs. My car wasn't even in bad shape. Its...

Re: Removing stuck distributor and lower shaft
As far as it being that one piece shaft, I'm not sure. This is the first time I've opened up the engine. It is possible that it is the one piece shaft.
I can't bring myself to just leave it (as...

Removing stuck distributor and lower shaft
Pulled my cylinder head to replace the gasket (what an ordeal). After battling a few rusty studs to get the head off, now I've got the distributor stuck in the head and the lower shaft rusted to the...

Re: Jazz Age '28 Sport Coupe on Hemmings Auction
I would take $50k in a heartbeat, wouldn't have to think about it. I paid $6.5k for mine and have spent several hundred hours getting it running right. I can't imagine that I have anymore than $2k in...

Re: Jazz Age '28 Sport Coupe on Hemmings Auction
Car just sold for $47k plus 5% buyer's fee, so $49,350 total. I thought the price was high at $26k, $50k is absolutely absurd. I guess there is plenty of money to be made in restoring these cars...

Re: Motor Meter or Quail
All it takes is one time. Plus you know if it isn't getting hot enough. If it's under 65f outside mine won't get much above 120f. I have two different sized cardboard blockoff plates I painted black...

Re: Carburetor leaking
There's several different carburetors that fit on the Model A. You may have ended up with a float that was made for a different carburetor.

That must have been an April Fool's day article. That would make a mess on the inside of your exhaust and produce an ungodly amount of smoke

Re: Sealed beams
They just don't look right compared to the original lights. I'm sure they work fine, but they ruin the original look of the car IMO
