Since you fellas are on a roll.....

I have never seen this style of U Joint. What do you know? Model A?

Seth, I have had a number of those. I am 99% certain they are early production after-market units.

Have you ever put one into service? Are they any good?

A good friend of mine was just on the text line telling me this is 1928, model A and they are junk.

Seth, I never did use one as I had a good stock of NOS Ford units.

Your friend that said they were junk... did he say why he thought that?

No, hopefully I'll talk to him on the phone soon. You know him. He lives in the south.

I'll put if for sale on the Model A swap and see what happens.....one man's junk might be another man's treasure.

I should have said don't use with a V8. It's weaker than the later, V8 style and we all know its a royal pain in the ass to change one out

Re: U Joint info

If it is still fairly tight (and not crusty inside) some model A person may want it for originality.
