Re: Positive ground tach
I hooked up my old Sears engine analyzer from the "70's to my model A truck and it worked just fine. Tach and dwell. I think I just reversed the leads so that the black clip went to the coil and red...

Re: What head is this?
I was trying to figure out what that pump was below the alternator, then I saw the A/C blower unit in the cabin. Are these common? Seems like a big draw on a low HP engine. How much could the fancy...

Re: Model A Marine Engine?
Here's a brochure of engine models. I think they offered the model A engine up through the 1950's.

Re: Model A Marine Engine?
I was so intrigued by that model A marine engine that I looked up the stats. It was used by Chris Craft back in the day and put out a whopping 60 HP at 3200 RPM. It was succeeded by the B engine but...

Re: Hot Rod Engine
What kind of horsepower would something like that put out? I guess anything above the stock 20 HP would be noticeable. I like the water jacket.

Re: Fairfield Garage

Re: water pump impeller
I went through this when I first bought my T. It came with two water pumps, both different brands and both needed parts to work. It made more sense for me to buy a new one from Snyders and be done...

Re: Model A tech advisors team from Paul Shinn
I too have Paul to thank for getting me interested in Model A's... and Model T's as a matter of fact. He did a video comparing the two cars. I find his videos easy to relate to. Now, I just need to...

That Zeppelin photo looks scary. The three men on the ladders must be very brave...or hard up for cash. Although the men down below don't have it so good if someone drops a wrench, or decides to...

Re: Fantastic picyure
At least the A has a better suspension than the Harley. Preparation H was from the thirties too. Hardtail Harley...they put the "H" in preparation H.

Re: Ford Model AA Duel Rear Axles
Extra tires and leaves added to the leaf springs could certainly handle excessive weight, but were the frames strong enough? How did the 4 bangers handle a load of coal like that? I've heard stories...

Re: Synthetic oil in a Model A
It's a matter of preference. I've seen people go back and forth and swear by straight 30w or 10w 30, or 20w 50, or straight 40 weight. Synthetic, non-synthetic, etc. It really depends on where you...

Re: 57 Merc data decode and identification
Interesting that some 1957 Mercs had single headlights and later 1957 models had four. Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler also made the jump to four headlights in '57. I heard some states did not approve this...
