Re: Fuel Filter issue

Big Hammer, thanks for replying. I will try to get it to work. I can only get it to dribble the gas slowly, certainly not a flow.

Re: Fuel Filter issue

Can you use an in-tank fuel filter inserted in the shut-off value of a late 31 Model A? I know that they are used in the earlier Model A's when the shut-off valve is inside the car.

Re: Clutch disk - 4 speed transmission

I am off too Auto Zone to place an order. I assume you have the converted F 150 Transmission as I do. Easy to drive with it but a little tough on some hills.
Thanks for your response.

Testing Starter

How many amps should a 12V starter draw on a bench test? Same question for a 6V starter. How many amps should the 12V and 6V starters draw when installed? Thank you.
