Re: 28-32 N.O.S. shocks
Just taking the Model A shock apart can be a real project. I have a 1/2" steel plate that I bolt the shock to and use a 3/4" drive, 3' breaker bar with a 1 and 1/2" deep socket to remove the flange...

Re: 28-32 N.O.S. shocks
The Model A Ford is a fairly complex part. It has ball checks, needle valves, vent plugs that have very small tolerances. I would bet that all the passages are clogged with the old glycerin oil that...

Re: Speedometer for 46 Ford Car
If you do try the repair yourself and I agree with others that say don't try it, do not use WD-40, use clock oil. Over time WD-40 will gum it up.

Re: Ma Bell's working woodie wagon?

Re: Hershey Stats
What get's me is the people on their golf carts "hugging" the flea market vendor tables and expect you to get out of their way so they don't have to get out of their cart. I'll stand their for 10...

Re: Electric powered Heater/AC question
With all you need to go thru for cool air, that cowl vent and roll down windows look pretty nice. Your '36 looks too nice to start drilling holes all over it to mount all the hardware.

Re: Electric powered Heater/AC question
Ggmac, that's my thinking. I can't imagine the amperage that is required to power that compressor. Unless I'm missing something, you will also need relays and heavy gauge wiring along with a new...

Re: Machine or Man ?
The reason it look's simple on a Model A is because those wheels are known as "drop center wheels". You could squeeze the tire into the recess of the wheel and it would give you room to remove the...

Re: Starter Locking Up
As RKS points out, the next time you have the starter out check the teeth on the ring gear. I had the same symptoms as you do and it was the ring gear.
