Re: Water pump "studs"
Two years ago, on a tour coming down from the mountain in pouring rain, one of our group in the first five cars was on the side the road. 30 miles later I pull into the hotel and he comes in within a...

Re: Restoring Ignition Coils

Re: 28 roadster steering wheel
I have never heard of this before. I know some steering shafts have been altered and welded, usually for a F100 conversion steering box. Is yours stock, and exactly what broke? The steering shaft...

Re: Running board mounted air pump.

I’d love to see a...

Re: Angled
Was the car facing down or up the incline? Was the oil from the front or rear of engine?

Re: Engine Bearings
FYI this post is from 2013, and Jimmy hasn’t posted since January 2014.
BTW, my engine was poured from one of Genes equipment.

Re: Oil pan gasket
Yes you can, but obviously, it’s much easier out of the car. Check out the Santa Anna As website for a very informative article from the Restorer, on a leakless pan gasket install. Or just google...

Re: Vintage tires- any value?
This is a riverside sitting in the sun a few years ago outside a club workshop meeting. It sounded like a black powder gun when it blew.

Re: New guy here..my story
It sounds like you have a good handle on this project. Model A’s are a lot of fun, and I’m sure you will “enjoy the trip“. Plus, it’s great bonding.

Re: 1928 Model A crankshaft switchover

Re: Need Carb Cleaned or Rebuild
You’re starving for gas(lean) most likely. Where is you GAV set?
Did this just start, or is it a new problem? How long ago has the car been driven?

Re: Where was it made?
On the sub frame by the drivers seat, there’s possibly a code. If not, then you’re outta luck. Someone else can hopefully give you the address to read the code.

Re: How to test vintage oil gauge
Possibly a bicycle pump. You would have to be very careful not to “over” pump. Maybe even a hand squeeze pump like I got for my foot boot after ankle surgery.

I can’t tell from the picture, but if the spring shackle bowl is short, then you just use a spreader to make it fit. Now you have the spring on, get a magnetic carpenters angle Reader, and measure...
