Why would someone file the...

Re: Mating a model A engine to T pan and trans

Yup. CID is basically the same with T and A blocks, and they both are L head. HC head and Stipe cam help a lot, but get more power by using an A intake and exhaust manifold, then an A carburetor...

Re: New Member

What is your location? Best if you can find someone in your area you can talk to, or a club.

Restoring an early one can be high dollar.

Re: 1918 or 1926?

There are a lot of T's out there and this is my favorite type. As T's wore out owners did a lot of different things to keep them on the road. This one needs a wood bed made which is not difficult. ...

Re: Ideas and vote

If you plan to drive it regularly put in a new seat far enough back to be comfortable and set so you don't have to sit up straight. Make it comfortable for you.

Re: Safety or not

Take it to a local glass shop (not franchise) and have them check it.

Re: any ideas

Rather than go original, I would install a front seat that is comfortable and has more room than the original. The front seat in my Fordor is so close to the steering wheel that it is not...

Re: How obsolete was the model t in the late 20s

My guess is that a big part of it was that roads were wagon trails when the T was first introduced so slow speeds and inferior brakes really did not make much difference. As roads were built the T...

Re: Resto Question

Many, many people have told me how simple a Model T is to work on. BUT try to find a repair shop that can! They exist, but they are rare and you are not likely to be near one.

Re: Battery cables - 00 guage

A lot of it has to do with climate. In a relatively dry area like Vegas corrosion should not be too much of a problem. I am in Central Va where we have a lot of humidity. It is not just T cables...

Re: Battery cables - 00 guage

There is a good chance that your old cables had corrosion on the inside of the terminals where it contacts the wire. The cable will read good with a standard ohmeter, but there is resistance to a...
