Re: I give up
The fuel line is an original style. No rubber hose & no up hill bends. I have a glass sediment bowl & keep it clean. I tried a propane torch unlit around the manifolds & heard no change in speed.

Re: I give up
The engine was rebuilt as a touring engine 3 years ag. I wouldn't think there are valve issues yet after 5000 miles. I did replace the manifold gaskets a couple of days ago with the copper round...

Re: I give up
I don't see any trouble with the air idle adjustment. The threads seem snug. As for the length, I don't know if it's too short or long.

Re: I give up
The manifolds were machined together a number of years ago. No gland rings though. Never had luck getting them to seat well. I'm not convinced the carb is the issue. I can put another carb on & the...

I give up
Our 1930 A will not idle down without quitting. I have plugged the vacuum wiper connection at the manifold & it made no difference. I removed the intake manifold & filed the connection for the carb...

Re: Engine dies
I think I had heard about pulling the choke out after shutting the car off. I tend to forget things these days. I'm still getting used to driving the car.

Re: Engine dies
It starts back up quite easily & runs fine. It can be a bit hard to start when it's been sitting for a week. I have not looked for vacuum leaks.

Re: Engine dies
When I exit the drive I have the choke pushed in all the way. I probably only let it idle for a minute before leaving the drive. The car is headed up hill as it enters the road.

Engine dies
We have a 1939 Ford that dies when pulling out of our driveway. The incline of the drive to the road is not great but on first attempt the car dies. I don't know if I should blame the carb or fuel...

1939 Ford Woody wood arch over driver rear Fender
I'm looking for a repairable wheel arch for over the driver side rear fender of a 1939 Ford Woody. If you have a new wood piece, that would work also. I don't need the dog leg, just the portion from...

Re: puzzled
Good ideas on the clamps. I shouldn't assume they are tight.

Re: puzzled
It is a coolant mix, not plain water. It wasn't froze on the floor. I didn't see any water in the area of the front main cap bolts. Usually I will see water there if the pump is dripping.

Our Model A did this last winter & now I find it has done it again. I have maybe 1/2 quart of water on the floor. I can't find any wet spots on the radiator but i am guessing there must be a leak. It...

Re: Hand Crank
TonyM, the extension is just as your picture shows. The smaller lug nut end doesn't fit the Ford lug nuts. It's too small for a Model A Ford up through 1939 ford for sure.

Hand Crank
Can anyone identify this hand crank. I had a handle already & it works on the lug nuts but this handle is too small to fit a lug nut. The black one fits the lug nuts.

Re: 1939 Ford Sedan Steering
I made an adjustment on the steering. I think it's a bit tighter now. I'll have to wait & see how it feels after I drive it more. Will need to recenter the steering wheel too.

Re: 1939 Ford Sedan Steering
Kube, I have checked all the front end parts for looseness & everything looks good. Should I adjust the screw with the front end on jack stands?

1939 Ford Sedan Steering
The steering on our car leaves me nervous to drive the car. I won't say it wanders but there isn't any road feel. The steering feels almost like a very loose power steering. I can't detect any up &...
