Re: Shock ID

Thanks everyone. That would make a lot of sense. My dad bought this car in the mid-60’s and the prior owner had a Ford dealership and garage. There were other modifications done to it as well.

Shock ID

I need help identifying the type, brand or origin of the shocks on my ‘28 roadster. They came on it a long time ago.

Re: Need Help with Model B Carb

I think it’s the throttle shaft. Put my Model A Zenith on this afternoon and it runs fine. Which is the better repair? I don’t have a drill press.

Re: Need Help with Model B Carb

Jerry in Shasta, is the port in the upper casting? Is this the same thing Sparky mentioned as the idle passage? I haven’t identified it with my drawings. There is an opening in the throat just above...

Re: Need Help with Model B Carb

My cold start procedure is very similar to yours, I only choke 1 or 2 revolutions and it starts fine. My problem began in attempting to get to a slow idle. It doesn’t respond to the idle air mixture...

Re: Need Help with Model B Carb

I’ll check the idle passage, haven’t tried that. I’ll bet that the leak is coming from weep hole, I can’t find anything else leaking. It isn’t much but it shouldn’t be dripping at all and it’s only...

Re: Need Help with Model B Carb

I pulled the drain plug and the main jet is tight. Throttle shaft does have some slop in it, can pull it back and forth (or in and out) probably 1/8”. Don’t have a vacuum wiper line, plug in manifold...

Need Help with Model B Carb

I’ve been trying to adjust the idle on the Model B carb on my ‘28 roadster. However, no adjustment to the idle air mixture screw will cause it to stall. In fact, when I near all the way CW it seems...

Identify a Horn?

Found some auto horns in a box of parts. Can anyone tell me what they are for? No numbers or letters on the horns to help ID.

Re: Best plugs..??

Please disregard my earlier post, obviously I was thinking of points. However I am interested in what you use for spark plug gap if you run a high compression head.

Re: Best plugs..??

The O'Reilly description stated a plug gap of 0.033" to 0.038". What do you use for Model A's? Isn't .018 to .022 recommended?
