Re: 29 Pickup for sale
If it was in my neck of the woods and the body is what it appears to be. It'd be mine and I already have a banger pickup I'm getting carried away with.

Is this a Police Head?
I would like to identify what head I have. I was told it was a Brumfield but I can only find heads marked with “B” being a police head.
Thanks, Dean

Re: Tremec TKX in an A?
I've had 3 As so far and have had the transmission experience. I'm reasonably sure I'm going to increase the Bangers power and I want to add the 5 speed and be done with it. The next one is going to...

Re: Tremec TKX in an A?
Thanks! I'll consult with you when the time comes. I'm on the hunt right now for a good A or a Model B if I'm lucky. I'm reasonably sure I want a 2.95 1st gear.

Re: Tremec TKX in an A?
The TKO is not the trans I’m inquiring about. The TKX is a relatively new trans from Tremec and dimensionally very similar to a T5. I like the gear ratios that are available and if I ever had the...

Tremec TKX in an A?
I've not been active here in quite sometime but looks like another A is in my future.
Has anyone put a newer Tremec TKX in their A? I have one available to me and seems like it'd be even better...

Re: Runs/Idles rough and what I've done so far
After a minor hiccup with the rebuilt carb, the '31 is running very well. It seems that the carb was the major contributor to the Sedan's poor running. The carb ended up needing a throttle shaft and...

Re: Our Model A wreck in Austin, TX
Haven't been on in a few days and just saw this. Glad to hear your ok, but this this just plain sucks! I hope there's a positive outcome.

Re: Runs/Idles rough and what I've done so far
First, thanks for the replies and ideas.
The tank actually looks very clean with no rust floating around. The carb has been sent to Renner's for a rebuild. I will also remove the original cast...

Still working on it while I wait for tools to do compression test.

Re: Runs/Idles rough and what I've done so far
Thanks for the link! I set the timing yesterday and after reading this site I felt I might have set the timing a little retarded. After checking I did and reset it. It definitely seems to idle better...

Re: Runs/Idles rough and what I've done so far
I think it ran smoother when I looked at it to buy and when I first started driving it.

Re: Runs/Idles rough and what I've done so far
I've only have had the car a week and have driven it about 100 miles. It seems to run rougher than when I got it. I don't think it was super smooth though. How smooth should it run?
I'll have...

Runs/Idles rough and what I've done so far
My new '31 is running rough at idle and will have a vibration in the steering wheel and body in general. It also seems to need to idle a little on the high side to stay running and not lope. While...
