Is there a casting date on the engine?

TRDxB2. what are the hinges mentioned in the descriptions of the lids? I don't believe I've ever seen a coil box lid w/a hinge.

!941 Mercury convertible, 1947 Mercury 1/2 ton, 1951 Ford 1/2 ton, 1955 Ford 4 door sedan, 1964 Mercury Park Lane 4 doors of hardtop.

Dried shaving cream can permanently discolor your paint, however, and should be washed off immediately.

Likewise for bird droppings.

Howcum in a lot of the old photos the people are hardly ever smiling? Just like when one gets a passport or drivers license photo taken we're told "don't smile".

Tudors were "coaches".

And 4 doors were called sedans.

I've heard of "fast" women, but they're usually in a different line of work.

Use lead free solder, makes a stronger joint.

Original Model A spark plug is 1&1/16" AF

Saw a pair of these mounts a coupla days ago:

In 1956, in a junk dealers yard in Brooklands, Manitoba, a 1927 coupe.

Thanks Jim, for all the great photos.

It sounds like the spark may be too far advanced, have you tried adjusting (retarding) the spark when you shift?

If you mean the "air flap" (as per Scott's drawing) it should be free floating.

Anyone ever try/use red rubber grease?

Those samples are good for lots of things, I use one for a pot scraper.

No nut or split pin??

They had separate part #s and cost extra.

I have this left rear Model T fender I'm trying to identify, I believe it is for a ’26-’27 coupe or roadster, but not sure. It has a couple of small dings in it.
Any help would be most appreciated.
