Re: Fuel Filter issue

I had the same problem and it ran fine after removing fuel filter. Cast iron sediment bowl so I will get one for a tractor if I put a filter back on.

Re: Thread size for a Model A spark plug

I have an engine that has a spark plug base in the oil drain hole, it is the same size, I left it in there with no leaks. I was surprised they were the same threads.

Re: metal roof

A lot of cars survived because someone put a metal roof on them, if they are outdoor drivers then a metal roof works. I took one off of my 29 that I put back original but the unrestored 30 tudor...

Re: Numbers on C-4 spark plugs

Probably which machine made the part, if there was a problem they would want to know where it was coming from.

Re: 35 Ford Hubcaps

Wood wedge or one of those plastic (really strong) ones that Stihl sells for driving in a tree. Just something to get it started to where you can grab it.

Re: 1929 front crossmember

I think they made a change in the cross member during 29 in preparation for the 30s and used them on the 29 style with different mounting some how. So if my memory is right, they were interchangeable...

Re: Those were the days....

The dollar is worth a tenth of what it was back in the 70s so you would have to put it in today's money I guess. When the Model A was new the money was backed by gold and silver, that is why coins...

Re: lost interest in 2013, working on it again.

I think the 29 is very close to the 30-31 other than the cowl where there is no wood so you wouldn't be far off going by that. Even the trunk lids are the same. I have a 30 coupe with no interior if...

Re: Fuel leaking when shut off valve is closed

I have rebuilt several original valves, they aren't hard to rebuild once you pry off the washer from the shaft that sits on the packing. I used graphite rope to repack them with. The only one that I...

Re: Engine sits too high for hand crank engagement

My unrestored car is like that though I can get the crank in while I am timing the engine, it doesn't disengage properly to where if I forget about it, the crank spins when I start the engine. It...

Re: Installation of parking brake coil spring ?

I think they put them on while the body is off on the assembly line which is how I did it, easier when standing over it than laying under it.

Re: Separating Control Rod from Control Arm

The springs should keep things tight, a lot of the housings are cracked right behind where the shafts come out are painted and patched. Could there be a hidden crack in the column housing itself?

Re: What Model "A" Book Do You Read the Most?

I find the service bulletins to be where I look, there are many finger prints on the book and pages as it stays out with the cars.
