Re: Sealed beams
To my knowledge, no. But these new LEDs are dang close since no external reflector is needed.

This video came out this morning showing and comparing the stock headlight bulbs, the LED bulbs, and the new "pre focused" LED bulbs- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvbNY2s3Egs

Re: 2 tooth steering adjustment
If you decide to replace the whole works and want to go with the F-100 steering setup, Randy Gross makes the whole setup, and Randy's is made correctly so it won't break and cause a wreck.

Re: 2 tooth steering adjustment
The thrust bearing adjustment typically does feel like it suddenly bottoms out. If you get there, try pulling and pushing the steering shaft in and out of the box. If it doesn't move, you're good....

Re: engine stalling

Re: engine stalling
I disagree. In fact, I can slam n the brakes of any of my Model A's and not stall. Engine idle speeds are less than 400 RPM.

Re: engine stalling
As above, and from your description, it sounds like flooding. Could be float valve sticking open as above post mentioned. Could also be the jets coming loose from vibration or whatever, when hot,...

Re: Idle Mixture Screw
Like Fullrace said, looks perfect. If you were too lean, the electrode (metal part) would look sorta chalky white. Leave er be!

Re: Distributor rebuild.
That is used to cover the tab on the lower plate that would normally attach to the stock type condenser. Since this kit comes with the "modern" (junk) style condenser, that tab is just floating free...

Re: Shortened pitman arm
The shortened pitman arm does make it easier to turn the wheels due to less drag link travel for the same steering wheel movement. It's like a different gear ratio in a transmission.

Re: Adjusting Brake Rods
If your Model A was just rolling out of the factory and nothing has yet been modified, worn, used, no aftermarket or repro parts, and fresh, then the rods would all be correct. 95 years later, that...

Don't feel bad. I made the same goof when recording a pan-drop video. In editing, hearing myself say that, did one of those forehead open-palm slaps. D'oh! But since it was already said, and done,...

Re: Fuse size
Yes. And to expand upon what others have said, most Model A wiring harnesses are made from 14 ga. wire. In my location, code dictates that 14 ga. wire will handle up to 15 amps safely (at room...

Re: Fuse size
Yes, unless the charging circuit is not charging. You don't want to blow the fuse because you're sitting at a stop light, the charging not kicked in.

Depends on the load(s). If using all stock lights and just the single brake light, 20 or 25 amp fuse is fine. If using two tail lights and halogen headlights, 30 amp fuse minimum. If using all...
