Another supporting issue is the copper diameter size of the battery cables. 6 Volt systems rely on usage of high amperage, not voltage. Minimum size of cables is 1/0. Using smaller diameter cables, such as on 12 volt systems, is just inviting irritating problems in use.

Re: High Volume Oil Line (HVOL) question.
Bryant... Weren't there detailed installation instructions with your purchase?.... Instructions will outline placement of the hogshead pickup bracket... Be sure to use the 3/8 diameter steel line with the neck style connectors to help save oil burning in number one cylinder.

Re: High Volume Oil Line (HVOL) question.
The HVOL is a back-up insurance for the original oil line just in case it gets blocked with band lining fuzz thru the years and worse, blockage from oil crud .Original Smith wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 2:19 pmWhat is wrong with the original improved oil line Ford supplied?

Re: Reproduction Exhaust Pipe
I also purchased stainless steel exhaust pipe and it's stainless steel welded muffler years ago and like Jim mentioned they're still shiny and still performing well with a mellow sound all their own.

Re: Model TT enclosed cab windshield question
Greg... The rubber that's on the truck is original from the factory? Through the years, age, sunlight, drastic temperatures, and plain old atmosphere will tend to shrink rubber. Compared to what the vendor has, the new rubber is only 1/8 of an inch short on each side.... And after all these years, I...

Good morning Jeff..... Your rebuilt 6 volt generator and six volt regulator are working fine in our ' 26 Runabout. ....... They were installed a few weeks ago, replacing the alternator. ..... And seems to be keeping my red top battery fully charged when checked.

Re: I am putting a starter on my 1916 coupelet.
Save yourself some time and trouble... Go purchase a original Ford manufactured starter engine with a three dip pan, add the associated electrical doodads to run the engine. Save the original engine for the future sale.... may reimburse you for what you spent on your modification.

Re: How Much Gas Should a 1927 Model T Use? (UPDATE)
Freshly rebuilt engines need some time to wear in. .... at least 1000 miles ....Why don't you change your oil, re-torque the head, check for tightness on the manifold bolts and carburetor bolts. Since you're still experimenting, why don't you clean up those plugs and regap them to 25 thousands..... ...
