Re: 1929 model A phaeton 4 door
Selling on eBay may be a good solution here if you can take a lot of pictures and a video of it running. Phaetons don't show up on eBay very often, and the auction format allows you to underprice it...

Re: Photo needed for spring type hood prop
Sorry, it turns out I have the regular kind, not the spring kind. But maybe I can help. The description at Mike's website is badly worded. You don't attach these to the hood rods (the hollow rods...

Re: LED Focused Beam Headlights - My Experience
I'm willing to give credit to the critique that they don't replicate the original brightness pattern, but folks... your headlamp buckets and reflectors are adjustable. Adjust them. Even cheaper LEDs...

Re: Henrys Hat
He's not usually depicted wearing a hat. In some early photos, he's wearing a derby hat (aka bowler hat in the UK).

Re: Frosty intake manifold
Intake icing doesn't always lead directly to performance issues. Sometimes it's just a byproduct of your ambient temp and humidity. This problem is more common on cars that use an air filter. It may...

Re: Era Tennessee plates $$$
The '29 NC plate is twice the price of the '30 plate. It's a combination of supply and aesthetics – some color combinations look nicer and are in higher demand.

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
Thanks, I really am going to complete the Nu-Rex series as soon as I can. Just have a lot going on now. I really want to get the B distributor into a video, I think a lot of people don't quite...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
Yeah, setting the Nu-Rex's baseline to somewhere ATDC is a decent workaround and won't hurt the car (unless you idle for a really long time). It's just odd to me that a stock engine wouldn't take 28°...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
A lot of stuff can cause detonation at "normal" advance numbers, not only compression. For example, the plugs might be too hot, or there might be too much carbon build-up. Another possibility is that...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
I would be interested to see what happens if you drain the gas, put a couple gallons of high-octane petrol in it, and run those hills again. In Germany, you should be able to get 95, 98, or 100...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
I'm still going to try to use my B distributor, but I also have a digital timing light and tachometer, so I can verify and adjust my timing curve down to single degrees. If you don't have that gear,...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
Use Nu-Rex's contact form (https://www.nurex.com/contact) and just ask whether they have any tips on purchasing one of the timing devices in Germany. You never know what they might say. When I told...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
I have both the Nu-Rex timing device (installed, running) and a B distributor (for the project car). The B distributor is best used for high-compression heads ≥6:1, where the compression puts a...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
The schematic is the same. You remove the cable armor and the threaded terminal at the distributor end of the wire. Then splice on more wire if you need it, plus a flag terminal at the end. For...

Re: Autom. advance spark timing
The B distributor doesn't accept the original wire that runs from the pop-out switch to the lower plate. On the B, a wire comes down from the ignition and terminates at a simple screw. If you want to...
