Re: 1931 Model A not turning over

Does it turn over with the hand crank?

Re: Eaton gas cap, original or aftermarket?

Re: Rear main options

The cap can be re-babitted, but the crack shouldn't be the cause of a leak. What was the clearance? If too much it might be the cause of both. That bearing is still there if you want to use it for a...

Re: How many miles should spark plugs last?

When the electrode is burnt away so it can't be gapped, it is time for a new plug.

Re: Transmission Question

In some of my repair books it gives instructions to adjust for a "free" neutral. Congeled oil on the transmission discs and overtightened bands thwart true ease in rolling the car and also causes...

Re: Your wheel painting technique

I paint on top of old wire rabbit cages my wife had laying around. They are about 3' tall. I can get 3-4 wheels on one and there is no overspray or spatter because of the wire. I spray outdoors.

Re: Appco accessory found

Didn't the model A come with a knob meant to adjust the carb already? Mine has one from the factory. Maybe it is for a T or other auto make. I have an automatic carb control for a Model T, but it is...

Re: 1931 coupe Rear corner repair

You need to do a little fitting with patch panels usually always. I think do that or start from scratch. Also there are fabricating body shops if you don't mind the cost. Your choice.
