Re: Locked-up rear end
I installed a Mitchell O/D in my 1930 Model A and I noticed that the rear wheels will not move now (the service brakes are not engaged nor is the emergency brake). Pulled the drums to verify brake...

Re: Mitchell Overdrive problem
Steve at Mitchell Mfg called and solved the problem. I can fab an extension arm and they sell them for the '28 Model A. Then, heat the shifter and bed it so there is no interference.

Re: Mitchell Overdrive problem
Thanks for the ideas. I'll take a good look at shortening the OD shifter. Or maybe I can get an older A shifter and weld the 39 top-loader adapter to the bottom. I think the OD arm is brittle as it...

Re: Mitchell Overdrive problem
Any ideas besides fabricating new parts or cutting my frame to make this Mitchell OD work without interference? Thinking a rod with a U shaped channel to clear the frame and battery box or a longer...

Re: Modern Ignition System Problem
I spoke to one of the modern ignition companies and I was told that that is a precaution only and that it could last a lot longer than 30 seconds (as in hrs). I've left mine on for minutes after...

Re: Headlight Issue
Sorry, looks like you already check those. Maybe the horn rod it's pushing the bail cap away from the body when you rotate the light switch or moving the whole bail. I found that adding a zip tie...

Re: Headlight Issue
Hi Bob,
It sounds like the contacts in the light switch bail could be worn out, shorting out or getting oil form the steering gear. Unclip the bail and take a look in there. Also, check the wires...

Re: Oil Filter Poser
And now I know why this tube is in the valve train. I was surprised to see it when I did a valve job recently. This was "Greg out west's" car that I own now after he passed about 6 yrs ago.

Re: Are brake floaters worth it?
Half joking. But I prefer the feel of the floaters (only the front basic kit installed now but upgrading to the most expensive all four brake kit from Ted). They give the braking up front a feel of...
