Re: H 226 and 8BA Flathed Flywheels
Thanks, saved me from buying a flywheel that won't fit. I will have to remove the flywheel in the car and have it re-drilled for diaphragm pressure plate.

Model A Heater-Snyders
Hi All,
Has anyone installed a Snyders heater in their Model A? If so does it work well? Is the heater motor fairly quiet in operation?
Thanks, Steve

Re: Wheel Cylinder issues
Nick,
I had often wondered about his business, have not been there for many years (early 1970's). Good to know that it is still in operation.

The core and hearing system is all NOS so should not be an issue. Cable moves the valve all the way forward so I am guessing that would be full open. I have a 190deg thermostat.
Engine is 226 -6cyl.
