Re: Rebuilding the houdaille shocks
I've rebuilt a multitude of them myself this past year. The ultrasonic cleaners work great on them as does letting them sit in an evaporust bath. It's amazing how many different variations I have...

Re: Mitchell overdrive
I ordered the O/D before I ended up with a Burtz Block. I've put about 1600 miles on the Block now and the O/D just arrived. If I had the block first, I most likely would not have gone the O/D route....

Re: Burtz Block - General Status Updates
The latest oil pump modification update makes it seem like the original is sufficient without the volume change, but it would still at the least require the relief valve installed. If you're having...

Re: Mitchell Overdrive
I've been on the waitlist since the start of the year. I used to check-in every now and then to see how long the wait was going to be, but after the third time it was extended another 30 days, I...

Re: No Start, HELP
They're fairly straight forward circuits, so it's just a matter of isolating where the issue is. Assuming this is a 6V positive ground vehicle, I would start with the following.
- Disconnect both...

Re: This hobby is dieing
I'm a follower of your channel, also 38, and under 50 miles from you. I think you're pretty spot on -- I am definitely the youngest of the groups I've checked out and a lot of their events are at...

Re: Hello from Upstate NY with my 1930 Model A
This would suggest some manner of bad wiring either to the coil itself, or from the battery to ground.
If you're seeing less than 6 volts there or inconsistent voltage, I would check that you have...

Re: Hello from Upstate NY with my 1930 Model A
Gotcha. It sounds like something is not quite right on both sides of the coil.
The negative coil terminal should have a short, black wire that connects to the terminal block, typically on the...

Re: Hello from Upstate NY with my 1930 Model A
I'm sorry, I should have verified what type of ignition switch and wire you were using, is it an original pop-out switch ignition or a replacement switch? Is the wire you are using an original,...

Re: Hello from Upstate NY with my 1930 Model A
Is the vehicle still 6V, positive ground? Where exactly do you have the ignition switch wired into the distributor? It should either be wired to the brass tongue as you called it on the base plate...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
That's exactly right. I had picked up a few different sets of plugs when I installed the unit along with the 6:1 head, as I was expecting the possibility of some trouble. I also have my ignition...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
I have the device installed in my '31 coupe with a 6:1 head and run 93 (US rated) almost exclusively. I was a bit concerned that I would need to add some additional adjustability through the lever...

Re: 700 miles in a tired Model A
Amazing to see it made it despite all of the issues he ran into. I watch his channel all of the time and he has some good content of some antique stuff he picks up. Was glad to see a Model A make the...
