Re: Cylinder #4 Running Hot
You all do realize this post and this discussion originated last Spring. I'm petty sure much has already been sorted out since then.

Re: ARP head studs
So if you don't mind me asking, what are we gaining by using ARP studs on a Model-A engine?
I guess my view is with specifically made Model-A/B Grade 8 studs being under $40 (-which includes the...

Re: Fs ignitions
John, but what do you feel is the advantage on a typical Model-A/B touring engine? The coil 'soak time' after reaching 100% capacity does not allow the coil to produce a "more intense" spark, -or a...

Re: Fs ignitions
Can I ask the question 'why' you are looking at an electronic ignition kit? What is it you are trying to accomplish?? I am not saying you are wrong, ...just asking why.

Re: NOS paint thickness
John, I would need to look on the factory print for the specified M-Specs, but I would expect to see that it was originally dipped in the same Black bonderizer as what was specified for fender and...

Re: Insurance policy w/o liability?
Basically one writes the repair estimate. The Estimator submits it to the second company. Basically they split and each pays for half up to their exposure limits.

Re: Early '28 Model A - possible AR?
I can guarantee it is not an "AR" as Ford never designated one of his cars by that acronym. That is a Ford Parts List term only for parts.
Also realize that the left-handed brake lever was...

Re: Reamers
Possibly Bob, you need to find a machine shop with a cylindrical grinder. Most tool and die shops can do it.

Mike, as mentioned above, there is not anyone commercially making that panel. One suggestion I would make for you is that a friend of mine in Hastings, NE (-not sure how far that is from you) named...

Re: loose venturi
On the factory print, the major diameter of the Venturi was specified to be from 1.3732" - 1.3756", -and the minor diameter size was 1.2370" - 1.2430". It really should be a slip fit and not loose...

Re: Electric wipe motor
Something light enough to not require unnecessary motor torque while the gears are engaging, yet thick enough to cling to the gears to provide lubrication at all times. I have used Lubriplate on...

Re: Reamers
If I may make a recommendation, the ROI for you purchasing your own reamers will never be good for a hobbyist mechanic. If I were in your shoes, purchase extra bushings for whatever task you want...

Re: Reamers
Tim, adjustable reamers in my view are for emergency scenarios where a piece of machinery needs to be placed back in service immediately and the adjustable reamer allows for a bushing to be sized...

Re: Reamers
You are asking a very loaded question since the quality of finish is directly related to the type of reamer used, the quality of the reamer, and how the reamer will be rotated (power vs. hand). None...

Re: Insurance policy w/o liability?
John, I think that is a pretty accurate statement.
The leading issue when I deal with an Insurer is "replacement value". What is it going to cost to replace my vehicle with one exactly the same...
