I do not believe the license plate portion was ever sold separately. Do you have a taillight housing like in the picture shown? It is different than what the suppliers sell. Best bet is to see if there is one on eBay where the taillight. I have the original one. The replacement from the suppliers a...

Mike S

Thanks! I appreciate the help

I am planning to put turn signals on my 1927 Coupe. There is a bracket that attaches to the fender on the left side. I ordered and received a bracket for the right side to match. However, there is another bracket/license plate holder that the tail light attaches to. Does anyone know what this part i...

Mike S

Hey folks, I am new here but I think that I will install the disc brakes. First and foremost, I live in the Smoky Mountain area and almost all the roads have some form of incline or decline. Like I said, since I am new to all of this, from what I have been told that (since I have a Ruckstell axle) s...

Mike S

Hey guys! I truly appreciate your help! I am so VERY new to all this that I have to rely on your help to send me in the right direction! Furthermore, I thank you more than I can express!

Mike S

Mike S

Thanks everyone! I just got the photo and hopefully can get this corrected!

Mike S

You will need to get a similar set screw choke wire anchor on the rod and position it so it does not interfere with the hot air pipe when you turn the mixture screw... After that's done, just simply measure for another connecting wire between the pull and the carburetor choke lever Sorry, I thought...

Mike S

Those pictures are what are in the car right now. I just want to correct it.

Mike S

Hey, thank you. Do I need to redo the fuel line? I am a complete newbie and don't know what to do! Thank you!

Mike S

Okay, I am a newbie, but does anyone have a photo of an installed Holley NH, later model with the universal joint type mixture adjustment on their car? Mine doesn't fit well and I have another (new) rod that is supposed to fit that carb. I just want to know if what I have is installed correctly. I a...

Well, I just got my first section of literature from MTFCA. However, I am looking for a good video or list to lubricate the Model T. George Akin and I are hauling it to his home tomorrow to replace the Timer, seal, spark plugs and coils. Hopefully, the replacement wiring harness will get here tomorr...

Mike S

Yes, I ordered a new seal to make sure to reduce problems. This effort is to make the vehicle as dependent as I can, thus the replacement coils. I also ordered a replacement wiring harness that goes between the timer and the coils as the existing ones look pretty fragile and worn. Maybe wasted money...

Mike S

Thanks guys! I just think that synthetic is better and run mobil 1 in all my vehicles. Since I am learning about this new "T" I am relying on you to help me do the right thing. There is nothing like experience to help me iron out these issues versus making mistakes! Again, I appreciate it!

Mike S

While the crankcase capacity is 4 quarts, Ford recommended keeping the oil level halfway between the upper and lower cocks on the oil pan. This amounts to about 3 1/2 quarts. Overfilling the crankcase will aggravate leakage. Modern 10W30 oil works very well in Model Ts under most conditions. Ford d...

Mike S

I want to thank all of you for chiming in to help me, someone who has owned a T for less than a week! I truly appreciate it!

Even though they might be "new" - they need to be checked & verified for proper operation prior to use - IMO ! I believe Ron Patterson just advertised some rebuilt for sale here on the Classified Ads.

I looked him up and sent him a message. Thanks!

Mike S

Question Mike: you stated you purchased "new coils" - as in brand new from a vendor or an original rebuilt set by one of our coil rebuilders ? Reason I inquire is that "new" coils have not gotten any good reviews ! I purchased some from Snyder. My plan is to put those in the car and send the others...

Mike S

Hey guys, thank you so much for sharing your VALUABLE information. I really appreciate your help! Nothing like the voice of experience!

Just got the notice, all the parts are on the way!!

Mike S

FYI, if this is where you’re going to park your car. Do yourself a favor and obtain a large tray and place it under engine. Not ment to be an insult rather a reality. Model “T” tend to loose oil. Your floor looks unblemished. I learned that! My wife asked me why it was dripping oil. I asked my budd...

Mike S

Your wife brought you a Model T home from a car show so you could have something to play with!?!?!? That’s the most spectacular thing I have ever heard! :lol: She deserves an award or something! Welcome to Model T land Bryant I retired and the company begged me to come back as a contractor as they ...

Mike S

I would suggest doing one step at a time.. replace your timer and be sure the initial timing setting is correct, start the car and see if there's any change in running. Second step, I would be sure to clean the original plugs and Gap them to 0.025", then start the car and see how it runs. If there ...

Mike S

Great advice! I'll check it out

Mike S

I am very fortunate in that I have one of the MTFCA board members that lives less than 30-miles from me. We, or more accurately, he spent the whole day Friday giving the car a good once over. It would fire up but had major issues so he isolated it to first, a completely shot New Day timer. It was al...

Mike S

No, I am sorry, it is a 1927.

Mike S

I just joined MTFCA and just bought my first car within the last week! I am working on the vehicle which is a 1929 coupe. I am replacing the timer, coils, and spark plugs to correct misfiring and engine issues. I have the help of a trusted MTFCA member! I just ordered the disc brakes since we live i...
