Re: 1929 model A Tudor Frame serial number
That's not a frame cross-member. That is the body cross-member, which is attached to the frame. The serial number is on the frame rail and not on a cross-member. It is found under the support for...

Re: Question About Inconsistent Horn Performance
As was mentioned in two of the previous posts, the electrical path both within the horn and external connections needs to be considered. Don't overlook the fact that the horn button itself is part...

Re: Headlights for my '28

Re: Does Gauge of Ground Wire Matter
Each side of the circuit carries the same current.
Use the heavier gauge wire. Realistically, the smaller wire will certainly carry the current needs for all your electrical devices except your...

Re: Model A Town Cars?

Re: Float-A-Motor Questions
I recently went through this very puzzle. Brattons and Snyders diagrams both show no inner pads but an outer pad and the outer plate. I bought mine from Bert's and I was sent both inner and outer...

Re: Visual Diagnosis, Maybe....
The timing gear appears to have some bad teeth, but that could just be the lighting. What issues are you having with the engine that caused you to pull the pan off?
