I had a similar problem on my 1923 a few years ago. It would idle fine but started missing as the revs went up. One evening the car was idling in the workshop and the mains electricity in the...

Which linings have you fitted? I used the cheaper option on my 1923 Tourer in 2009 and they lasted one trip. They were just too thin. Change to Kevlar and have done over 5000 miles since and plenty...

Shock Absorber Oil
A friend of mine has a very nicely restored 35 V8 Sedan. What oil should he use in the shocks? He has Lovemore single actions fitted.

Re: Our Model A wreck in Austin, TX
I agree that the car is savable. With the availability of "A" parts (original and reproduction) in your part of the world, it can be done but I would suggest finding a replacement frame and starting...

Re: Ingnition roller
I have converted the roller on my 1914 and 1923 by replacing it with 2 sealed ball bearings of the same outer diameter as the original roller. I have covered thousands of miles without problems. Much...

Re: To permatex or not to permatex?
I have used a good coat of aerosol silver spray on a copper gasket. Helps to seal water leaks too. Also works great when a copper gasket needs to be reused in an emergency.

Re: Free starts
If you move the timing lever it will "break" the points. I don't have a distributer on my T's but this method has worked occasionally on a 1930 Chevy by pulling the timing retard knob out.

Re: Water showed up in oil today!
Which motor do you have? Aluminum or Cast Iron heads? The early aluminum heads are very porous and corrode easy. I had that problem on a 1934 Coupe with the 21 stud motor. The water escaped down the...
