Re: Vaporizer Carb rebuild and or how to operate (car will not start!!)
Be sure the gas is turned on first, there is a lever on top of the firewall filter that turns the gas on and off. Do choke it, when it starts and smooths out leave the needle where it runs best. You adjust it by turning the choke rod. The vap will give you good service.

Re: Feeling stupid
If it has gas and spark, it has to run. There should be no reason for it to be out of time while doing just a valve job. If you can pull it thru and hear the coils sing for each cyl, then they are working, if you can pull it thru and choke it hard, hear it gurgle and see a little liquid from or arou...

Re: How bad is this?
Since you are new to this, I should have explained that many items made in the early days out of pot metal have deteriorated to the point they crumble very easy which seems to be the fault of your accessory timer. A common brand in T days was DELCO and their distributors and speedometers were made o...

Re: How bad is this?
That does appear to be just a elevated timer so take it off, throw it away and get a regular timer and rod for it and install it. There are several versions of std mounting timers available from all the peddlers. Things that cannot be fixed have no place on a T that is going to be driven. So answer ...

Re: I just joined the model T two piece crank club!
Welcome to the club. A high dollar crank will break as easy as a std. Its important to find out why and in my experience and others I have seen, its usually a forth main problem with alignment. I threw my ball bearing away!

Re: Quick Look at '27 Engine Pull
The low high pedal is pinned on the shaft with a rivet. Grind head off the rivet and drive it out. You can then work the pedal off. Lots of places (Cat dealers, Rural King, Tractor supply and most any bolt supply house) have grade 8 fine thread 5/16 bolts. I drilled the hole to match a 5/16 bolt, th...

Re: Quick Look at '27 Engine Pull
I pull my late engines by hooking toward the front so the engine comes out nearly standing up on its rear. It will come out complete without the starter. I do pull the coilbox as a matter on convenience. If you want to make it even easier, put a grade 8 bolt in where the low high pedal is so you can...

Re: Rear main cap removal advice
It can be done and does require patience. IMHO the fix is determining first what the gap is before pulling the cap then after the cap is pulled, make a c shaped brass wear plate the correct thickness and pin it to the cap with countersunk brass screws. I speak from experience and have one of my Ts f...
