Re: Acceleration problems
Check to be sure the throttle is opening completely against the stop. Be sure to post what you eventually find.

The problem with a special section is that few people...

Re: Coker tires
Cheap rubber in the tubes. It is my understanding that Bratton's had a run of good tubes made.

Re: 6 volt directional bulb
I hope your turn signals are wired to use the brake light bulb as the turn signal. If they aren't wired that way the brake light will wash out the turn signal.

Re: Wanted steering box
Be sure you know how to identify the box. They look like a '32 but the location of the bolts where they attach to the frame is "clocked" different. There is a section for "wanted" that you might...

Re: what spindles
I always used the adapter kit and retained the Model A spindles. Most venders have them. Be sure to get a good one from a reputable supplier.
