Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

Took it for couple loops around the block and it drives good.
I think I have bend wheel as it was wobbling, but I don't plan to drive it on freeways.
Ignition switch has bad contact on magneto...

Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

IT IS ALIVE

Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

Drained about a cup of old gas from carburetor bowl, I noticed about a tablespoon of water in it, check oil level and crank it.
Ignition lever at 1/4 and throttle at...

Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

I took old switch out and it looks like newer switch.
Evidently the insulator washers did not do good job and cable end touched the housing, what melted 1/2 of the switch.
I see new...

Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

Black cars don't work well in Las Vegas.

Touching door handle could give you burns and then moving gear shifter was another...

Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

I bought boat at this copart yard and walking to the bathroom - the Ford was park in the garage.
I took a picture of it and went with my business, but kept an eye on it for about a month, when the...

Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

Looks like my model is upgraded as I have sight glass for quick check.

Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

Thanks. New things I learn every day.

Battery should arrive in 2 days, so it is getting exciting.

Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

Re: New member with "new" 1922 Model T

Additional question about fan belt.

New member with "new" 1922 Model T

In the mean time I tried...
