when to drop the pan?

Re: No power going uphill
Check that the throttle fully opens when floorboarded. The arm on the firewall that pushes the throttle open was bent on my car. It ran just fine, but had no power when climbing a hill.

Re: Model A Humor
There was an old man who had a wooden leg.
A ride he couldn't steal, a ride he couldn't beg.

He built himself a Ford and the darn thing ran.
