Re: spark plugs

I don't think you should be fouling the 3X plugs. The W18 I use are in the same heat range as the 3X .

Maybe investigate why you are fouling your plugs, too rich, GAV adjustment, etc. Oil fouled?

Re: Best riding A?

One thing I have found on my Town Sedan is not to over-inflate the tires. I also lubed my springs with springs with Slip-plate and have spring covers. Shocks are Stipes. Also have a panhard bar in...

Re: spark plugs

Last set of plugs I bought, Champion W18 (518) I bought at O'Reilly Auto parts. Ordered on line, picked up next morning.

But I am curious. What happened to your 3X's?

Re: Why is there a need for an Adjustable Drag Link?

I think that is the most common reason. I remember someone selling an adjustable drag link years ago on Ford Barn.

Re: Model A Voltage Regulators - NOW WORKING - Testers needed

Good on you Jeff. Altho I can't use one of your "cut-outs", as I have a PowerGEN, it is good to see someone making new and better replacement parts for the Model A.

Re: Ran great yesterday

Look for carbon tracking on the coil and clean off the coil insulator. Spin the engine over when it is dark and look for sparks. Sounds like your sparks are going directly to ground at the coil.

Re: New fuel shutoff valve, ball valve filter

I have no idea why they changed the shape of the outlet of the valve. Ensure you received the correct filter as it has changed also. Snyder's part #A-9193-TX. The old filter was part #A-9193-T.

Re: Briggs Town Sedan door latch question

I can certainly understand that. What a terrible design Ford came up with for installing the door panels. I have some door pictures but none so the latch in detail.
