Re: Overheating 1930 Model A Ford Coupe

Re: torque AA lug nuts
Thanks guys.
Why didn't I think of some of these things? `Look at the exposed threads, tighten toward the front of the car ?
Why engage the brain when I can get such good advice from old friends?...

AA Lug Nuts
WOW,
It's been a long time since I have been on the barn. I'm happy to be back.
What is the installation torque for AA lug nuts and which side has the CCW threads.

Re: Inside engine is Green?
The inside of front cover is orange. Looks line glyptol.
Crank counter weights look like BB crank with overhanging counter weights.
